BOOK EXCERPT:

DEFINITION OF STRESS

Many people, when asked to define stress, will say their ‘job’ or their ‘relationship’ is stressful. In other words, they usually label a situation or a person as ‘stressful’, and this then becomes the cause of their problem.

 

When we designate an outside event or person as the root of our problem, this puts us into a powerless position with little possibility for change.

The truth is, stress is always an internal response to either an internal or external stimulus (stressor). Once we understand that stress is an internal response, we give ourselves the power and ability to change both cause and effect....

 

 

BEHAVIOURAL SIGNS OF STRESS

When we are stressed, we will unconsciously perpetuate behaviours which keep us stressed, even though we would really like to feel relaxed. We also have habitual stress responses to certain situations, which are also indicative of low adrenal function. Read through the list below (which is by no means exhaustive) and see which of these apply to you.

 

Behavioural signs of stress	Habitual responses
eating too much or not enough, craving sugar, especially in the afternoon and after dinner	getting impatient when driving, especially in traffic jams, on the motorway or at traffic lights
feeling rushed and a continual sense of not enough time	saying you haven’t got time to talk to people when they phone or come to talk to you
increased alcohol, nicotine, caffeine or drug consumption	Feeling angry with people when you don’t immediately get what you want
sleeping too much or not enough	Snapping at people for little or no reason
social withdrawal, procrastination or neglect of responsibilities	feeling impatient on the phone especially if you are on hold etc
not enough time to do simple chores
nervous habits such as pacing about, shaking leg or nail-biting
