Is chronic stress killing you?

Excerpt: “Our lives can get busy sometimes as we are taking care of ourselves and our families. Juggling work, school, bills, and whatever life throws at us.

Are we doing it right? Is there a balance that we are maintaining? Or is it constant chaos?

Chronic stress is the consistent sense of feeling pressured or overwhelmed over a long period of time. It is the result of facing various challenges and trying to figure out how to make things work.

But it is not just solving a problem and getting through something difficult only to have another challenge present itself. It is also a contribution to our physical health, mental health and emotional health.

We cannot ignore the negative impact of chronic stress and that it can influence our way of living and thinking, as well as our health overall. According to the American Psychological Association, “Chronic stress can affect both our physical and psychological well-being by causing a variety of problems including anxiety, insomnia, muscle pain, high blood pressure and a weakened immune system.”

Major causes of stress include work stress, life stress, financial stress, relationship stress, family stress and many more.”
