How To Be Stress Free In A Stressed Out World

How to be stress free in a stressed out world, you ask?

Just remember my quote – Keep Your Mind Where Your Body Is.

With few exceptions, most people stay in a dream-like state. They stay lost in the events that happened years ago or miles away or may not have happened at all – But may happen says the mind. The root cause of your busy mind is the Acquired Self, which actually is not even you. It is your false self and is a product of psychosocial conditioning as you grow up in a society.

In this half-asleep state of the busy mind, you often experience all of the emotions associated with the events of the past and the future. These emotions may take the form of anger, guilt, sadness, jealousy, fear, excitement ………..

Stress Causes More Harm To Your Health Than You May Think

Emotional stress triggers chemical changes in your brain as well as the rest of the body which can cause a lot of harm to your health. For example, emotional stress causes elevated cortisol level which increases your risk of weight gain, acne, diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, osteoporosis and memory loss.

Emotional stress in the form of fear and anger also increases your adrenaline level – which increases your risk of high blood pressure, heart attack, stroke and memory loss. High adrenaline level also weakens your immune system and increases risk of Covid-19, cold, flu, other infections and even cancer. Most people know that a healthy immune system is important to fight off infections, but they may not be aware that a healthy immune system also kills cancer cells.

Fear also increases your risk of autoimmune diseases – Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis, Graves’ Disease, Type 1 Diabetes, Asthma, Eczema, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Inflammatory Bowel Disease……..

In addition, when you are not fully aware of the Now, you are more prone to accidents.
