Description

The definition of good health is a sense of well-being.  But all too often we get caught up in a cycle of stress that leaves us functioning below our best, leaving us feeling tired, anxious and unhappy.  The increasing demands of modern life can put enormous pressure on the body and mind.

Stress is the body’s way of responding to any kind of demand. When people feel stressed by something going on around them, their bodies react by releasing chemicals into the blood, providing more energy and strength, which can be a good thing if their stress is caused by physical danger, but if the stress is in response to something emotional, then there is no outlet for this extra energy and strength. When stress is long-term it can affect you physically, emotionally and spiritually, impacting on your well-being.
