In today's fast-paced world, Stress has become a widespread and persistent challenge, impacting individuals from the moment they wake until long after they go to sleep. In ancient times our fight or flight response saved our lives from predators or other dangers. Unfortunately this system didn't evolve as quickly as society did. As a result, the brain often perceives modern stressors as work deadlines, financial deadlines, financial pressures or interpersonal conflicts as life threatening situations. When our fight or flight system is overstimulated our brain releases adrenaline and cortisol in our bloodstreams, flooding the body with stress hormones keeping it in a heightened state of alertness, even when no actual physical danger is present.
When our fight or flight system is overstimulated our brain releases adrenaline and cortisol in our bloodstreams to prepare us for action. But when these chemicals build up in our bloodstreams they can cause all manner of debilitating problems.
