To understand the need for stress management, we must first understand stress. When a person is in danger, the body reacts, preparing to defend itself. The heart rate increases, blood pressure climbs higher, breathing becomes faster and blood flows to the muscles. This is great if a fierce dog is chasing you because it gives you additional energy to get out of harm's way. Unfortunately, the body reacts in the same way in response to daily problems and changes and over time this causes issues. Your body is ready to flee, but you don't need an extra spurt of speed. With no way to release this additional energy, you become nervous, anxious and worried. This is called stress.
In this book discover how to identify your stress triggers and ultimately how to manage and possible conquer them.
