Would you believe me if I told you that you were
experiencing stress in situations which you
perceive as happy too? Everybody from a Child to
an Adult constantly experiences Stress in their
body. Let me highlight the lesser known
situations when you experience stress but you
dont even know it.

  everybody is taking their own sweet time to get
  ready.
• You are excited about a new opportunity that has
  come your way but you dont feel prepared for it
• You are looking for a perfect gift for your loved
  ones
• Oh! Every time a new pimple chooses to surprise
  you
• You are packing for your most exciting trip and
  it needs to be perfect
• You have woken up late because you snoozed your
  alarm too much

Effects of Stress

• When you experience Stress (perceive threat,
  experience dissatisfaction, irritation, lack of
  control, disappointment, lack of confidence,
  difficulty in expressing yourself, beliefs that
  cause limitation, difficulty in acceptance) your
  adrenal gland produces the hormone cortisol that
  increases blood sugar in bloodstream, increases
  use of glucose by the brain (Oh yes! Those sugar
  coffee cravings, also not forgetting all the
  chai lovers) increases the availability of
  substances that repair tissues, curbs
  non-essential activities like digestive system,
  reproductive system, growth system alters
  immune system.
