The Relationship Between Stress Performance and Wellness
Symptoms to alert you:
UNDERSTRESSED (Low Wellness)
Under performing, depressed, low motivation, life has little or no meaning, low energy.
OVERSTRESSED (Decreasing Wellness)
Feeling out of control, lowered immunity*, low energy, lack of focus and concentration, insomnia, increased blood pressure, increased errors, increased aches and pains.
* "How you react to stress has more influence on immunity than the severity of the actual stressful event.
A number of studies have correlated positive coping behaviour with a healthy immune system functioning. Positive health practices speak directly to the body and through it, to the immune system. The relaxation response experienced during relaxation, meditation and breathing exercises promote not only a healthy immune system but also healthy responses to your emotions and mental functioning.” Dr Mary Schatz, Physician and Yogi
