Stress will always be a part of life, regardless of its direction. There is good stress and there is bad stress, but in short, stress is invasive, intrusive, and needs to be addressed.
The happiest people still have to deal with stress. The goal is not to eliminate stress as it is an impossible task. Instead, the real goal is to deal with it effectively by learning to deal with stress as a challenge rather than something to be avoided. Stress resistance ensures more stress. Coping effectively with stress releases both mental anguish and physical contractions. Therefore, learn to recognize stress, acknowledge its presence and find an immediate solution. No longer be the victim of life by navigating it effectively.

Solutions
– It’s time to slow down and make decisions that benefit your physical and emotional health. Stop rushing and enjoy the present moment. Slowing down brings great relief and turns a hyperactive mind and body into a more peaceful system, able to enjoy life instead of being stressed through it.
– Signs of exhaustion or mild adrenal fatigue usually respond well to a gradual program of moderate exercise (always in moderation). Start slowly and gradually increase the intensity. A good walking or swimming program is recommended.
– Lack of Appetite is remedied with outdoor activity. The fresh air and sunlight lift your spirits and add to a real sense of well-being. Serotonin levels naturally rise as the joie de vivre returns.
– Nutrition and a specific eating plan will lend themselves easily to balancing blood sugar levels, leading to a calmer and less irritable personality. This will also increase serotonin levels in the brain naturally.
– Learning to effectively interrupt anxiety and panic allows one the freedom to relax and regain control over how one feels in all situations. Remember, it’s not about eliminating stress, it’s about coping effectively.
– Self-soothing exercises ensure a calm digestive tract. Learning to calm down is essential to keeping your mind and body calm.
– The use of Correct Breathing interrupts the sensations of dizziness and dizziness. When upset, one becomes overbreathing or holding one’s breath. Learning the fine art of relaxed breathing through simple techniques allows the body to be properly oxygenated as peace of mind and body returns.
– Depersonalization/Derealization is simply a mind that has become fatigued by the constant habit of fearful worry. This self-learning is a learned behavior that is easily unlearned. With a simple and effective approach, depersonalization and derealization are quickly discontinued as the mind refreshes and clarity returns.
In a nutshell, the symptoms of intrusive stress reactions, which lead to states of anxiety and depersonalization, are easily managed when properly addressed. You are not the victim of life when you regain control. With a few simple steps, as outlined above, you will learn to gain control by making some corrections to the way you think and live every day. You always have a choice. Choose to make life decisions that bring peace and tranquility instead of disturbing the mind and body. It’s always a choice, and you have the ability to effectively navigate through stress in the most productive way possible, leading to fulfillment and quality of life.
