- Abstract
What happens in the human body when we are subjected to stressful factors? Severe stress induces the release of stress hormones, cortisol and catecholamine, resulting in diseases such as diabetes, hypercholesterolemia, cardiovascular disease, hypertension and depression. Following the release of these hormonal cascades, changes in the human body occur, expressed through anxiety and hypervigilance. What are the stressors? Stressors are: physical or mental illness; emotional, physical or sexual abuse; work problems or family problems; conflicts with friends or lack of friends; natural disasters; lack of self-confidence. The reasons for stress are: the desire to achieve, to get, to have, and the fear to fail or to lose. If we were to look deeper, we would realize that unsatisfied wishes and fear of helplessness lead to disappointment. How do we fight stress? n Self-observation: Am I relaxed right now? What is happening in my mind at this moment? What do I feel? n Pay attention to these questions, especially in tense moments, but do not compare them to other situations and do not catalogue them! n Do not criticize yourself, just analyse the situation and see how you responded to a crisis situation! n In conflict situations you either shut up, or say what you need to say, but without raising the tone! n Pay attention to what you do, no matter what it is, while clearing your mind from any thought! n Be organized and do things one at a time!
