These days the negative effects of our fast-paced life, where there is more demand to perform, seems to have an impact on our health from a younger age. Stress and anxiety can affect everything we do, think, or feel. It can also affect our body functions. when life becomes too full of stress, frustration, and anxiety, the body’s stress response is triggered almost continually, and a state of hyper-alertness and fear can become chronic. This state of tension and anxiety is not only emotionally difficult, but it also can negatively impact our long-term health.
When the body is in this emergency mode, it doesn’t take time to properly restore and repair itself–just as when we are in an emergency situation, such as an earthquake or hurricane, we don’t choose to fix a small tear in the carpet. Over time, a stressed body does not take care of the small “tears.” It does not have the time or energy to heal and restore itself—and big problems can result.
