Stress And The Flying Yogi

Stress and the flying Yogi

Stress effects the entire population crossing cultures, class and creed. It affects everyone from the working mother to the stockbroker at the stock exchange.In small doses stressors can help give increased energy, and alertness. Even helping to keep us to focus on the problem at hand. This type of stress is good. People may refer to the experience of this type of stress as feeling "pumped" or "wired."

Do you feel stressed with the present recession and petrol Crisis ? All the more reason for you to continue your Yoga and Pilates Practice !

Signs of strain that must be taken seriously:

Palpitations and chest pain
Frequent heartburn, stomach cramps,dirrohea,being full of gas, unable to swallow
Trembling under any extra pressure, leg cramps or pain, twitching in limbs
Feeling that you may pass out
Getting any illness that is around

Signs of strain in intellectual function:

Having frequent thick cotton wool head
Less of former reliable memory
A new inability to reach satisfactory decisions
New difficulty in thinking around problems
New difficulty in dismissing problems from the mind
Insomnia

Signs of strain in emotional health:

A feeling of being very low or dulled
A shut down in all emotions except anger and irritation
All joy, laughter and pleasure have dried up
Active love and caring have lessened or disappeared
Tears seem very near frequently for no reason.

The people of New Orleans are recovering well after hurricane Katrina, although there is still a distinct lack of tourists. They have turned all their negatives into positive stressors. I was lucky enough to find a newly opened yoga studio.
