Anti-Stress Therapy
Internal pressures
(including negative thoughts, emotions, worry, physiological and metabolic
imbalance) and external pressure (including job tasks, work environment, etc.)
cause disease. Daily anxiety, rush hours and worries build up with time during
the day as do the stress chemicals and hormones like cortisol, which is an
anti-inflammatory hormone for dealing with inflammation but becomes over
produced and then harmful when stress is sustained. As muscles contract and
stiffens under stress, the body cries out for relaxation but don’t get it
because of deadlines. A calm state of mind and relaxed muscles is better
prepared to tackle tasks and challenges and guarantees effective tasks,
assessing the situation with a clear head. Relaxing the body frees tension and
improves cognitive and receptive functions of the mind.
