When Stress Strikes
Stress gets a bad rap! Many people think that stress is bad, but new research suggests that stress only affects us negatively when we believe that stress is bad. Is it possible to change how we view stress? With the right therapeutic approach in Southern Nevada, we can absolutely change how we view and relate to stress.
Stress is not a bad thing, in and of itself. The pressure from stress is real, but that pressure can be harnessed into an excellent source of energy and productivity. In fact, stress can be very important during certain times of life, such as taking a test, getting married, starting a new job, or learning to play a musical instrument. The pressure from stress, which is essentially our body’s way of registering difficulty, can be shifted into fuel for growth and accomplishment, something we all want to achieve in life.
People often look at stress negatively, especially because it’s uncomfortable and can trigger other symptoms. However, as a standalone factor, stress is not negative. Our negative perception of stress can actually be more harmful than the stress itself. When we see ourselves as being ‘stressed out’ our decisions, diet, behavior, energy levels and treatment of others can be negatively affected, which can be far more problematic than the original stressor.
