STRESS – Oh it’s that 6 letter word that starts and ends with an ‘S’ and we all know something about it.  So, what exactly is it? Well, its where there are more levels of Cortisol hormone (stress hormone) in your body than there should be and there needs to be more of serotonin (that’s your calming hormone) in your body for your mind and body to function correctly. When we start to feel stressed that’s when the levels of cortisol are higher and we then start to have headaches, tightness in our shoulders and neck area, our brain function starts to decrease, and we start doing silly things. We need to start to notice when we are feeling stressed and what causes it for us to then do something about it before it gets out of hand. Did you know that 74% of UK adults have felt so stressed at some point over the last year they felt overwhelmed or unable to cope. So take a listen and learn all about how to cope with stress and let me know your thoughts about how you deal and cope with stress.
