Stress and Your Body

Stress is normal. Everyone experiences stress at some point in daily life, and it is an effective mechanism for compelling us to act quickly when we need to. However, it becomes problematic when we fail to properly manage that stress. In large amounts, stress can begin to wear down your overall health, leaving you with no sense of normal to return to. When you experience high levels of stress, large amounts of cortisol are produced, which strain your muscles and organs. Your body can only handle so much cortisol at one time, when there is an excess of cortisol in your system, your body becomes tense, resulting in aches, pains, and stiffness.

Stress can also raise your blood pressure by constricting your blood vessels. Over time, this can be dangerous because high blood pressure can lead to a stroke when left untreated. Along with raising your blood pressure, unmanaged stress can lead to a frequently upset stomach and insomnia, which can diminish your psychological health, as well as your physical health. These side effects of stress can interfere with your quality of life and productivity; therefore, it is important to manage stress intentionally and methodically.
