Achal Chaurasia – What Stress Can Do To You

Stress doesn’t only affect the mind; it can also have some adverse effects on your body if left unchecked. Even if we are mentally capable of doing all our tasks, there is a possibility that our body is not fit enough to cope with the burden we are subjecting it to. If you push it to the limit, then you will surely feel a breakdown that might disable you permanently.

We can never deny the fact that all of us have our limits. Like our minds, our body can only take so much until it falls apart. It is a common fact that we can do anything if we set our minds to it, but we need to realize that our bodies should be able to cope with what we want them to do.

Your Body And Stress

Stress affects us differently depending on the state of our body. The most common ailment attributed to mental stress is headache or migraine, or even dizziness from time to time. We would also feel some minor cramps, aches, and pains on our back, shoulder, or in different parts of our body when under the grip of stress. There is also a possibility that stress can affect our body chemistry as well. Too much brain activity can lead to nausea, dizziness, diarrhea, or even constipation. There were even reports that stress is attributed to a bout of an ulcer when a hyperactive body produces too much acid that can abrade the linings of your organs. There is a chance that a person might need to go to the hospital or undergo a series of medications to remedy the problem. But if you don’t take the initiative to nip stress at the bud, then you will surely experience the same thing all over again.

Stress And Your Behavior

A person under the grip of stress tends to act rashly and outside their normal behavior. Depending on the level of stress a person is subjected to, they might have trouble sleeping or might affect their sleeping time altogether. You might no longer want to sleep in the evening since you tend to think more of your problems when you lie down in bed during the quiet of the night. Unconsciously, our bodies would slowly get sleepy during the day and remain active at night. Stress can also affect the emotional state of the person. They will either go into depression and self-pity or give in to their rage by venting it out on everyone they see. There were even cases that stress can drive a person berserk or permanently affect their state of mind if not properly addressed.

An individual needs to relax when gripped by stress. There are plenty of relaxation methods you can use to achieve a calm state of mind. Meditation is a great way to focus your thoughts on a more productive subject than wallowing in your problems that will eventually result in self-pity and depression. Practicing meditation daily will help a person develop a method of looking into a problem in a detached state — which is to say that your emotions will not be affecting your decision and you can proceed to fix it without worries of making a mistake. Breathing exercises are also very useful if you want your mind to achieve a relaxed state. Proper intake and distribution of oxygen throughout your body can help keep your mind clear and focused. Also breathing exercises serve as a prologue to meditation.
