Health Matters
Take some time out to relax
With long and intensive stress comes disease - Heart Disease, Type 2 Diabetes, Immune disorders to name but a few.
Did you also know that more women die from Heart Disease each year than from Breast Cancer? So it makes sense to reduce your stress levels before you get unwell.
Stress, in itself, can be either a positive or a negative experience, but regardless of how you perceive it, the flight or fight response is activated.
The experience can become addictive. Modern stress comes from working harder and longer but not necessarily smarter in our technology driven world and there is the expectation to do more things in less time.
Stressors can be mental, emotional, physical or psychological.
The consequences of sustained stress are:
- Irritability,
- Restlessness,
- Agitation
- Moodiness
- Sleep disturbances
- Anxiety
- Social withdrawal
- Depression,
- Higher blood pressure,
- Increased weight
- Anger
- Exhaustion
With any or all of these stresses, the immune system becomes depressed and chronic stress sets in.
So how does this happen?
The cycle of stress costs us more than an unhealthy body. In searching for a work life balance, you need to look at what support you have and how you manage your stress is the key to your wellbeing.
Many women feel like they are on a merry-go-round of exhaustion and lack family support. With traditional family structures disappearing, relocation from our original homes, the modern professional woman may have no backup to relieve her from the exhaustion of her daily grind. She may even find that her work life balance fluctuates wildly from chaos to perfect balance.
Hypnotherapy will help to "massage your mind" to greater levels of relaxation and it goes without saying that meditation is one of the best ways to reduce your blood pressure and increase focus and clarity.
The lasting benefits of a Reiki session or a Polarity Therapy treatment will help you to de-stress effectively.
An hour of "Me-time" with one of these therapies is a great way to lose the stress of the day and a thoughtful gift for a loved one.
A Hypnotherapy session will help you cease unwanted habits, allow you to take the opportunity to move toward new goals and achieve your full potential or if you are curious, take a little longer to explore a past life. Research shows that the relaxation effects of hypnosis last longer than light meditation. Hypnotherapy for successful weight reduction and stopping smoking is well documented.
