Let’s talk about stress
The stress response is an automatic one; it developed in our ancestors to protect them from predators. Faced with danger, stress hormones flooded the body, boosting energy, and readying it to fight or flee the problem. At one time, the threat we faced was being attacked by predators. Things have changed now, but people still face multiple challenges every day, associated with work, family and finances. An angry boss, money worries, relationship problems plus the world is a very busy place these days. We have more choices than ever before but this has brought added pressure.
