Feelings of stress are triggered by our natural survival mechanism. The most basic and natural response to distress is the fight – or-flight reaction. Our ancestors had to do battles with the wild elements for survival. Most of us are engaged in overcoming the paper tiger in the work place. Our ancestors released the tension by running from the situation or fighting the wild animals. Adrenaline or epinephrine is released into the blood stream in situations of fear or stress. It increases the heart rate, increases the blood flow to the muscles, reduces blood flow to the skin with the production of sweat, and dilates the pupils of the eyes , generally preparing the body for ‘fight or flight. With our ancestors, it was a muscular action whether they ran or fought. It reduced the adrenaline in the blood which had increased to meet the situation, and the exercise stimulated the release of endorphins which act like opiates and reduce the perception of pain.
In modern life, quite often people cannot escape a stressful situation, they have to endure it or make the best of it.

Life Coach---from where you are to where
you want to be---=
Author: Achieving Inner Peace
Achieving Inner Peace approaches each
aspect of our lives which disrupt our
sense of peace and security and reveals
the best methods to counteract the
negativity that creeps into our daily
lives. Using a mixture of various
philosophical and religious maxims and
contemporary stress-relieving techniques,
Sohan Singh reminds us of such
inspirational principles as:
* True happiness and contentment are not
dependent on externals.
* Anger controlled is strength.
* We create the causes of our suffering.
Author: Achieving a Healthy Balnced Life!
The book is about being a well
rounded-person, about being fulfilled in
the realization of goals. Most of us
concentrate on acquiring material
possessions or climbing the corporate
ladder, but ignore other aspects of life.
Sooner or later, we feel unhappy because
of dissatisfaction with the way we are
leading our lives. It is mainly because
our living and working is not based on
fundamnetal principles or natural laws.
