    Your Body’s Defence against Stress

When you are under stress, certain physiological changes occur within your body. These changes are
the result of your body’s defense system trying to protect you from negative effects of stress.
However, you feel and act differently in such stress situations and your body has to cope with this
unusual happening.

Normally, as soon as your stress levels start going up, the hypothalamus gland of your brain directs
the pituitary gland to release ACTH hormone.

With it, the adrenal gland releases both adrenaline and non-adrenaline. Many more hormones are
now in your bloodstream. All of them need stimulation, which is available from the sugar released
from your liver.

Your bloodstream now has many red blood cells full of energy joining hands with energized
hormones. All these together increase the heart beat and your body temperature. Non-adrenaline
tightens the walls of your arteries, thereby increasing your blood pressure.

Your whole attention is totally on the stress point and you combat it with full concentration. You are
aware of only one single thing - STRESS. Activation of your mental alertness makes you feel excited
or frightened. The power of your inert senses rises and you are now highly sensitive.
Involuntarily, certain physical changes occur in your body. You sweat more.

Your face becomes whitish and your muscles twitch and tighten. Your eyes are open wider and your
concentration levels soar. You do not have saliva in your mouth and other body functions of
digestion, urination, or defecation completely stop. In extreme cases, it may lead to uncontrollable
diarrhea or urination. Your feet and hands become cold as the total blood in your body is pooling
together to fight against the stress levels.

The stress period is a very vulnerable period as the total immune system of your body
suffers a breakdown
. Your body is defenseless against any foreign bodies. Hence, you are easy
prey for illnesses and infections. You fall sick very easily and are not able to fight away the sickness.

The only way out of such stress symptoms is absolute relaxation of your nerves and the body as a
whole. You have to erase the stress completely.

By this means, you will be able to regain your inner and physical strength and come back to
normalcy.

be happy, or not happy, by our thoughts and the actions that follow.  You
can learn to lower anxiety and stress and increase your confidence.  The
simple equation is that the happier you are, the less stressed you will be.






When we are motivated, stress seems to diasapper.  This is a common
experience that we can all bear tesitimony to.  Why is that so?  One
explanation is that stress is often caused by non-achievement, and when
we are motivated to achieve, we are taking the positive action towards
achievement and so our minds are relieved.







We can be under very great stress when we feel powerless.  A good
logical step is therefore to increase our personal power.  We need to feel
that we are endowed with gifts from God that will help us to overcome the
undesirable things that stress us down.  It is time that we empower
ourselves with the capabilities that God has so graciously provided for us.
