In this video, I help you recognize the body’s warning signs when you react to a stress trigger so that you can become more aware and more in control of your stress response. Watch below!

As you probably know or you learned in my previous videos, the stress response is a normal reaction of our brain and body to things that happen around us. This is simply done to protect us from danger and threats. Today, these can be a change in our routine, unexpected news, a tight deadline, a certain food, a difficult relationship … there can be numerous triggers affecting us during the day. When this happens, our brain and body activate certain mechanisms and, when the threat is over, everything returns to normal.

Also, stress is good for us, it’s not always the bad guy, as it can promote effort, growth, and motivate us to take action. However, when stress is prolonged and unmanaged, and we are unable to cope with the demands of daily life, it can harm us physically, mentally, and emotionally. And, over time, an overactive stress response can lead to chronic illness. Therefore, it is very important to recognize those warning signs to avoid long-term health issues. Your body is sending you these signals to inform you that something is not right, and you have to bring everything back to normal, back to balance.

In the video, I explained more about the warning signs, or symptoms, divided into four categories (physical, behavioral, emotional, and intellectual), along with useful tips to bring your system back to balance.
