Is constant stress causing chaos in your body?

You’re sitting in traffic, late for an important meeting or the school run, watching the clock tick away. The stress sets off an alarm system in your body and through nerve and hormonal signals, prompts your adrenal glands to release a surge of adrenaline and cortisol. These stress hormones trigger your “fight or flight” response and your heart may start racing or your breath quicken… 

The body’s stress response system is usually self-regulating and once a perceived threat has passed, hormone levels return to normal. But when stressors are always present and you constantly feel under attack, the fight-or-flight response stays turned on which could put your health at serious risk and disrupt almost all your body’s processes.

Burnout is a state of physical, mental and emotional exhaustion which happens to us all at some time when we are constantly on the go. Sometimes, we get too busy and forget to take time out and rest. Burnout is a gradual process that builds with stressors from life or work when you’re overwhelmed or unable to keep up with life’s incessant demands.

It leaves you feeling depleted of energy or exhausted and left untreated can eventually lead to adrenal fatigue. Signs can be subtle initially so you keep going, but the longer they continue the worse they become. Without allowing adequate time for rest and relaxation, you’ll find you are dealing with increased symptoms and find it harder to function normally.
