Managing stress

We all say on a daily basis that we are stressed out.  Even children at a young age will use this statement which means they must hear it a lot.  Chronic unresolved stress can contribute to death and disease.  Our Adrenal glands are where the major stress hormone is produced.  When we were in cave man day the fight or flight hormone is how we use to stay alive so that when approached by a predator we would be able to think fast and move faster than what was chasing us.  In this day and age everything sends us into fight or flight mode and most people live there life chronically producing these hormones that use to save our lives.  This constant increase in stress hormones cause people to gain weight in the mid section which increases our risk for developing heart disease and diabetes.  People often think that they can reduce their stress level and maybe if you make some major changes in your life you can.  Most of us just need to learn to react to our stress differently.  The one question that I teach people to ask, is this situation worth dying for and if the answer is no it is time to learn to let it go.  Stress itself will not cause a problem but our reaction to it can kill us.  We must learn to respond to stress and not react and then we can choose healthy responses that will protect us.
