Stress
Everyone knows stress. There is positive and negative stress.
Positive stress encourages us and we feel more productive, achieve a lot and are full of energy. This positive stress is called eustress. Positive stress can be preparing for a vacation or going to a seminar. It is important to pay attention to inner balance. The boundaries between positive and negative stress are fluid. This means that a positive challenge can very quickly turn into negative stress. If a stressful situation that was initially perceived as motivating lasts for a long time, for example, it can suddenly be perceived as distress (negative stress). Negative stress is often accompanied by symptoms of nervousness, restlessness, anxiety and pain of all kinds, as well as nausea and sleep disorders. Negative stress with its unpleasant side effects can be related to an adjustment disorder, for example separation or trouble with a partner or job, moving house or the birth of a child, as well as a serious physical illness. These new and unknown situations can lead to excessive demands that make you sick. Stress can also arise at work, at home and in interpersonal relationships. Often, you cannot handle demands and situations that you perceive as negative to your satisfaction. The result: you feel overworked and worn out. Typical factors that cause negative stress in today's society are: constant availability due to digitalization, the double burden of child and job, and fears about the future due to insecure employment. Other important factors are financial (in)security, your own state of health or emotional conflicts. Above all, stress is what everyone perceives as such. Too little stimulus can lead to stress just as much as too much. This stress only becomes a problem when we can no longer control our reactions to it. Realizing what stress means for each person is the first important step in doing something to reduce your own stress and discovering or learning ways to change for yourself.

Food for thought
A psychologist walked through the audience during a stress management seminar. When she held up a glass of water, the audience expected the typical question: "Is this glass half empty or half full?" Instead, with a smile on her face, she asked: "How heavy is this glass?" The answers ranged from 200 g to 500 g. The psychologist replied: "The absolute weight doesn't matter. It depends on how long I have to hold it. If I hold it for a minute, it's no problem. If I have to hold it for an hour, I will feel a slight pain in my arm. If I have to hold it for a whole day, my arm would be numb and paralyzed. The weight of the glass doesn't change, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it gets." She continued: "Stress and worries in life are like this glass of water. Think about them for a short time and they leave no trace. Think about them a little longer and they will start to hurt you. If you think about your worries all day, you will eventually feel paralyzed and unable to do anything." It is really important to remind yourself to put the stress and worries aside sometimes. Don't carry them into the evening and night. Just remember to put the glass down!!!!! Author unknown

Attention: I would like to point out that as a natural health practitioner, limited to the field of psychotherapy, I am not allowed to make any promises of healing. A visit to my practice is in no way a substitute for treatment by a doctor. Since many psychological symptoms can also have a physical cause, it is necessary to have the symptoms clarified by your GP or specialist!
