Reasons for stress

Our modern society is stressful, with its high tempo and time limits in daily work life. There are cities full of noise and pollution. Even small children are stressed, taking in the stress from their surroundings

Emotional stress slowly builds up when you are not satisfied with your life, when you live according to other people's expectations, instead of being and doing what you wish for yourself.

When emotional stress develops, sooner or later it will go into your physical body. You can get muscle pain in the neck, head, back, etc., as well as in your inner organs.

How to manage stress?

As you live more in harmony with yourself, then naturally the effects of stress are lessened. A person who is in inner balance (body, mind, and soul) is more resilient to stress from outside. Hence the key to stress management lies in finding the way back to your inner peace and balance. When you are centered in you inner peace, you can remain calm, even when it is storming outside
