STRESS: IT'S A JUNGLE OUT THERE!

Modern day stressors engage our body’s responses in the same way

that our ancestor , the caveman’s/woman’s, stressors engaged

his/her body.

But other things have changed.

You are not likely to be chased by a tiger.

But you are very likely to be confronted on a daily basis by a whole

host of modern day stressors.

STRESS: IT'S A JUNGLE OUT THERE!

Your body responds to stressors in the same way, that your cave man, or woman,

ancestors, responded to stressors.

The same neuro chemicals and hormones flow.

The fight or flight response still kicks in.

STRESS: IT'S A JUNGLE OUT THERE!

Your caveman, or woman, ancestor could fight, or run, from those

things

and events ,

animals,

other people,

and frightening situations.

BUT

You usually cannot

Fight or run.

STRESS: IT'S A JUNGLE OUT THERE!

The neuro chemicals, and hormones, and fear, and tension that flow into your body,

when you encounter modern day stressors, are not dissipated, unless you take action to prevent them, or to get rid

of them.

They stay in your body and create a whole lot of problems for you.

Many of the maladies and illnesses that we suffer today are a result of the effect of

the stress that we endure in our modern lives.

STRESS: IT'S A JUNGLE OUT THERE!

We cannot fight or run like the caveman or woman.

So We pay the price

with

Physical breakdown

With

Emotional breakdown

With

Impaired performance

With

Impaired relationships
