Life is hectic, no doubt about it – but the way you handle the stress has a big impact on your health and wellbeing. When you tell yourself (and others) ‘I’m so stressed,’ it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy and your body responds to being ‘told’ you’re stressed by producing even more adrenaline. Says Dr Kevin Lentin, Cape Town chiropractor specialising in functional medicine, ‘The pace at which you are living your life is contributing to your "off-the-chart" stress levels. Take three simple steps to slowing down: walk more slowly, drive more slowly and breathe. Slowing the "motor" down is probably one of the most simple, but most therapeutic changes you can make to help yourself cope with the pressures of life.’ |
