Mild
stress can be used to inspire you, build motivation, and encourage you
to press forward in spite of obstacles. Some stress is needed for
energy, courage, and triumph; to win, such as in sports events and
games. It can help a mother lift a car off her child or assist an
emergency room nurse to do her job speedily and accurately. Another kind
of stress is the big malady of our day. It builds up over time due to
worry and fear and leads to physical and emotional disease.
In the
last issue, my article How to Relieve Stress for Life reviewed things
you can do to protect yourself from the harmful side effects of stress.
The goal is to manage your response to the bombardment of stressors in
daily life. You cannot avoid the stressors, but you can cope with them
differently by altering your perception of them. One way to begin is to
heal your nervous system so it isn’t on high alert. Instead, it can be
in a state of balance and calm that is easily returned to after
surprising news or a particularly stressful time.
