These days a significant number of people think that stress is just a norm. It’s something we need to face and deal with every day. The modern way of dealing with stress is about managing it and keeping it under control, completely ignoring the cause of it in the first place. When stress is ever present and an integral part of daily living, it is very easy to forget that it reveals an important message from the body that something is not quite right there. Something needs changing.
Ignoring stress is a coping reaction that we learn as we grow older. As children we knew healthy ways of dealing with stress. When we observe young children, we notice very quickly that they display totally different stress coping skills to us. One minute they are upset crying, the next one, they are back to their usual cheerful and happy selves. They’ve shrugged their upsets off their shoulders and they are ready to play and explore again. Children demonstrate this wonderful emotional flexibility and the ability to reconnect with their heart almost instantaneously, which the adults seem to have lost. When you are able to release and let go, stress is being released as well. When you hold on to unprocessed emotions, your stress accumulates.
Today’s stress epidemic is caused by the lack of the understanding of how to address emotions. Instead, people want to be logical and rational, living ‘in their head’, rather than their hearts.
Your heart is not only a physical organ, pumping blood around the body and keeping you alive. It is more than that. It is a feeling centre that processes feelings and emotions. It is where the magic happens and things that bother you get resolved.
It is important that you read your own feelings and moods, whether it is tension or worry or even emotions such as: frustration, anxiety or anger. If such feelings don’t get your attention and resolution, they have nowhere to go. So, tension, worry and anger mount up and further down the line, you may blow up out of nowhere or go and hide if you cannot take it anymore. It’s a natural fight or flight response.
You can regain your emotional flexibility and return back to the centre by acknowledging and working with your emotions. Quantec therapy is a pioneering therapy which can help you to reduce stress, improve health and well-being as well as assist you with resolving and balancing your feeling.
