🔥FACT.🔥

We all get stressed sometimes. There’s a reason our bodies have a built-in stress response system:

to keep us safe and power us through uncomfortable situations.

Any time you’re out of your comfort zone – whether from doing something challenging OR in an unsafe situation –

your body responds by pumping out hormones to give you energy and focus to overcome whatever is in front of you.

Stress can actually HELP you ace a job interview, power through a deadline, or nail a 3-pointer.

But if you’re under chronic stress, your body never gets a break from all those hormones.

According to the US National Institute of Mental Health, chronic stress can cause problems with your:

👉immune and digestive systems,

👉reproductive and cardiovascular systems,

👉as well as your sleep.

It can even play a role in serious chronic health issues like diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, depression, and anxiety.

The key with stress is to have a PLAN to manage it on a day-to-day basis.

Exercise and mindfulness practices can help a lot!
