Stress is one of the most "fashionable" topics. He devoted many scientific papers, he is spoken of with the TV screens and radio speakers. And so many established ways of taming stress - and do not count!
Stress is to blame for all our ills - from hair loss and failure of the menstrual cycle to break relations with the beloved and difficulties in parenting. Stress - a cult that needs to be maintained!
But otherwise, we are living in conditions that require us to urgent and emergency responses and solutions, as we know, the past and are a source of stress.
Now think about it, do you really believe that our ancestors did not know what is stress? Really only in the age of information technology, we are faced with this scourge? In 2009, Canadian researchers examined the remains of the ancient Incas to determine in the hair samples of cortisol (a stress hormone).
Result was unexpected, people living in the 1530-1550 years BC is not just "knew" with stress, and lived in conditions of chronic (!) Stress. So the shift to the "civilization" in the light of their own problems to discover the truth, at least, is not reasonable.
Strive to avoid stress - it's like that do not strive to live - sums up the Canadian scientist Hans Selye. Stress - a natural reaction to any psychological or physical effects, which renders it out of balance.
There are two types of stress:
- Eustress - positive (favorable) stress- Distress - a negative (negative) stress first - helps us to mobilize and defend in the event of a threat or danger. In most cases, eustress influences people positively - strengthens the immune system , increases physical and emotional endurance, develop the adaptive capacity.
However, it should be taken into account an important point - eustress, usually does not last long. That is, in a stressful situation, the human body, "released" in the blood of the hormone cortisol, mobilized forces, solved the problem and immediately relaxed. There was some kind of training.
Another thing distress. He comes in the case where, despite the efforts made, the problem is not corrected, and hence relax. The body remains in a "stretched like an arrow" state. First suffer the immune system, there are serious health problems.
Prerequisites to distress a lot, it can be as serious shocks (death of a loved one), and "minor" if they continue for a long time (long-term family problems). From distress to cope can be done only with the assistance of a specialist. But, fortunately, such situations in a person's life not so much. Usually, what we used to call stress is eustress. Therefore, our task benefit from it!
Eustress as a source of energy
Imagine a situation: a man lives a quiet, even, in some way, a boring life. To make special efforts for something he did not want to, and all so well. And suddenly he is faced with a serious problem, such as dismissal. System starts survival person is going to be trying out new areas and eventually succeeds.This happens because under stress the body prepares to deal with the danger and this generates a huge amount of extra energy. Our task - to "catch" it and send in the right direction. If you learn how to manage this energy - you can "move mountains."
A natural question is:what to do with stress?
First determine what to do/you should not:-
- Dwell on the negative perception of the situation;- Ignore stress (even when idle harmless experience could escalate into distress)
- Suppress stress (otherwise the problem remains unresolved, the possibility of depriving the body "relax"). important to understand the stress need to manage!
Once there you exciting situation you have to be sure to do something to solve it . It is important to act, even if the latter does not bring the desired effect. After stress should help the body recover , simply put, relax: at the level of physiology remove muscle tone and neutralize cortisol.
