Stress Response in Wellington

CGI photo of man with glowing spineStress is something we all face on a day-to-day basis. But stress isn’t what happens to us, it’s really how our minds and bodies respond to what happens to us. It’s healthy to be able to respond to stress. Imagine if you were out swimming and saw a shark. Your heart rate goes up, your body pulls the blood back to your core – so your hands and feet get colder, your pupils dilate to take in more visual information, your breathing & muscle tension increase. All preparing you to either fight or flee from this threat. Once you’re back on shore, all these responses should be turned off & your body returns to a normal calm state. All of this is regulated by your nervous system – specifically the autonomic part of the nervous system.

Living in today’s modern society means far too many of us are turning on that stress response too often & for too long. Our non-stop lifestyles means this stress response is inappropriately kicked into high gear and for longer than necessary, making this situation chronic. This means that you could be in a “fight-or-flight” or constantly stimulated state too often to be healthy.
