Suffering from stress?
Stress affects most of us at some point in our lives, whether we're under pressure at work or we're feeling anxious about things at home, and it can have harmful consequences for our health and wellbeing.It can affect us mentally, causing us to become forgetful and irritable, have low self-esteem, suffer from racing thoughts and constant worry, or struggle to concentrate.
But it can also affect us physically, as headaches, muscle tension, digestive problems and breathlessness are all corporeal symptoms that can manifest as a result of stress.
Everyone reacts differently to stress and for some it can be a constant battle. Fortunately, the Yantra Mat could be a key tool in your armour, helping you relax and boosting your energy levels with its tiny acupressure contact points.
What causes stress?
Stress is usually brought on by some form of mental pressure, either from a single event or a build up of smaller things. Some people are more prone to stress than others and may feel anxious more often.Perhaps you are struggling financially, or you are worried about your job security. Maybe you are studying for an important qualification and your exams are looming. Stress can strike in any of these scenarios.
A relationship breakdown or the death of a loved one can also trigger stress, as can a major life change, such as moving home, becoming a parent or starting down a new career path.
Whatever the cause, it's better to tackle stress head-on before it affects your overall health and wellbeing. Taking time out to relax and making sure you get enough sleep are essential.
