Stress and the Autonomic Nervous System

Stress is a natural response to a crisis situation, but make sure not to create one out of thin air. Our brain can self-induce a crisis situation if we perceive it that way even though there is no threat around. We are not made to survive the constant pressure of stress and the state of alert caused by danger. Since our biggest source of stress is psychological, we have to learn how to deal with it better. Try not to perceive life situations like being stuck in traffic, having a close deadline, fighting with a loved one, like a crisis and a stressful situation. Think of them like occurrences that will pass soon, and don't let your emotions run your thoughts for you
