Learning about stress

I explained that, if stress chemicals get too high in the

body day after day, it can mean stress chemicals do not

go back down. They stay up high all the time.

If our stress stays up high day after day, it can

change what we call our ‘Balance of Life’. Our

balance can become skewed towards vulnerability.

When our Balance of Life is

skewed towards vulnerability we

can get worried and upset more

easily. We can find it harder to

stay calm when things go wrong

for us. We are more likely to get

prickly very easily.

The good news is that we can do something about it.

We can reset our Balance of Life by working at reducing our cortisol

levels.
