In
today’s hectic 24/7 society, it is a constant battle to balance our lives
between work, family,

social lives and have time to relax from the stresses and pressures of modern
day living.

is not harmful in short bursts and in fact necessary to cope
with life’s
demands and
challenges.
In
situations where you sense danger, whether real or not,
your body
kicks into action automatically in the form of the “fight or flight” reaction.
This stress response is your body’s way of protecting you and it helps you stay
focused,
alert, motivated, energised and ready to face anything.
It is
only when the levels of pressure do not subside and become prolonged
and
on-going that stress can become harmful.
This
in turn causes damage to your health, relationships at home and at work, mood,
productivity
and quality of life. We all deal with stress differently and what

another may thrive upon.
