Stress shows up in many forms. Relationships, work, finances, exercise, even COVID.
Our bodies are designed to take on different life stressors and a healthy body will respond by resetting the body to a healthy state. But our lifestyles are making it harder and harder on the body to recover from the stress because we are bombarded by so many different forms of it. Even the food we eat can create inflammation and stress.
Stress + Stress = Distress
If we load one stress on top of another and there is no time for the body to recover from that stress it will affect the body in a negative way.
See if you can relate to this example. Your work has been stressful lately with deadlines, long hours, etc. You find it harder to sleep, so when you wake in the mornings, you have a few coffees to get moving. You rush to work, the city is busy, you navigate your day, and your partner calls saying there are bills to pay. You try to get a workout in, or you skip the workout and possibly lunch to keep working.
The body sees that type of a day as stress+ stress+ stress + stress + stress (yes, even the workout).
If this continues day after day, the body starts to find it harder to recover. Your circadian rhythm, your cortisol spikes and other hormones are now out of whack affecting mood, energy levels, sleep and more.
The body needs to reset and return to a state of internal harmony to avoid illness, injury, and a general feeling of flatness.
Recovery is as important as the workout and all other daily lifestyle routines.
Make sure you allow the body to recover from all of life’s stressors to stay healthy, enjoy great sleep and higher energy levels, and avoid anything detrimental to your wellness.
