In the end, everyone got where they needed but talk about extra stress in the morning

This morning really made me think.

What does this stress do to us?

This only happens to me occasionally, but what about the people who go through this daily.

Stress is such a huge burden to the body.

And the root cause of so many diseases.

Here is a list of conditions often associated with stress 

Anxiety

Depression.

Digestive problems.

Headaches.

Muscle tension and pain

Heart disease, heart attack, high blood pressure and stroke

Sleep problems

Weight gain

Problems with memory and focus



So what can we do about it?

How do we cope?

I could have planned more time for my ride and would not have been under so much pressure to get to work and school on time.

But what if you experience chronic stressors daily. 

So much stress that our bodies are stuck in a fight-or-flight state permanently

What do we do?

How to Deal With Stress in Wayland

Meditation

Deep breathing

Exercise

One of my favorite breathing exercises that I got from an ex-marine is::

Breath in for a four-count

Hold for a four-count

Breath out for a four-count.

Hold for a four-count

and  repeat

This has helped me a lot at different times.

But what else

How can we get out of a chronic stress state?

Chiropractic

Chiropractic can make a huge difference in how your body deals with stress

Chiropractic Adjustments alleviate tension and pressure on the nervous system and have a huge impact on our stress levels

Many patients talk about how they are able to experience more stress and not get as worked up. 

Hopefully, I am not describing you.

But if I am there is help.

These are conditions that we deal with regularly
