Stress Damage and How to Reduce Stress
You think about something stressful—work, money, relationships, family, whatever’s bothering you.
Your amygdala (in your mid-brain) senses danger.
Your amygdala helps to initiate your body’s fight-or-flight response to stress.
In “fight or flight”, your body releases adrenaline and the “stress hormone” cortisol, diverts blood away from your digestive tract, leaving you less able to digest food and absorb nutrients AND more likely to gain weight.
In this physiological “crisis mode,” you’re more vulnerable to pain—from chronic illness, arthritis, fibromyalgia, migraines, stomach upset, and more.
- In this state of heightened physiological “alert”, your brain’s creative center is deemed “non-essential” and shuts down.
- Down goes your problem solving, your creative skills, your intuition.
- You feel increasingly irritable, isolated and impatient. Your relationships suffer.
- Stress affects your sleep. Your metabolism slows.
Your body secretes, even more, cortisol, wreaking more havoc on your digestion (and waistline), increasing your blood pressure, lowering your immune response.
After releasing too much cortisol for too long, your body goes into “adrenal fatigue.” You feel depleted, exhausted, and depressed.
You no longer have the energy to adhere to your exercise routine, your healthy eating, meditation, yoga. Migraines, insomnia, stress-related hair loss, chronic pain, and any number of other issues become regular parts of your life.
Battling low energy, you can hardly focus at work, and elsewhere. Your relationships suffer.
Your depression deepens. You (and your body) are STRESSED OUT.
What YOU Can Do To Reduce Stress
Using EFT Tapping, Emotional Freedom Techniques for up to 25 mins reduces cortisol levels by 24% within one hour, providing powerful stress relief, which is faster than most traditional and alternative stress methods.
EFT Tapping Regulates & Balances
Activity between the Sympathetic; Parasympathetic Regions
to Achieve Balanced Activity & Optimal health.
The sympathetic region of your brain Prepares your body for vigorous physical activity, speeding your heart, dilating pupils, contracting blood vessels, reducing digestive secretions.
The parasympathetic region of your brain Prepares your body for relaxation, cell regeneration, and digestion by slowing the heart, constricting the pupils, stimulating digestive secretions, and dilating blood vessels.
Tapping Reduces levels of excessive cortisol and “adrenal fatigue,” your body and mind re-balance.
Your energy is restored, you sleep better, feel healthy again. Your metabolism is restored.
Your body is again able to heal itself.
