Stress can be triggered by many factors, including: physical, emotional or mental abuse; life changing events such as a new job, moving, pregnancy or divorce; work or school-related deadlines; high stress occupations; and uncomfortable social situations.
Stage One is when we experience stress, our bodies automatically react with the characteristic “fight or flight” response, also known as an adrenaline rush.
In life threatening situations this is helpful, as adrenaline causes our bodies to increases our pulse, blood pressure and rate of breathing, better preparing us to do battle or to escape. When the outside stimuli disappear, often with a good night's sleep, we return to normal.
Stage Two would be continued exposure to stress - without a break. In today's modern society, everyday stress from traffic jams, work, or just plain living, triggers this same reaction. We deplete our reserves, especially our adrenal glands, and lessen our ability to handle additional stress. Even our ability to sleep can be affected.
The Final Stage results from the accumulation of stress over time and leads to exhaustion. We suffer physical, emotional and mental breakdowns. The warning signs include weight gain or loss, ulcers, indigestion, insomnia, depression, anxiety, fear, anger, inability to concentrate, moodiness, and other problems. It can be argued that all disease is a consequence of stress.
Great Ways to Relieve Stress

Best of All, there is a more fundamental solution to coping with stress...
From the mystic perspective, and increasingly, the view of leading-edge physicists, everything is energy. You distinguish one thing from another by its rate of vibration.
Physical matter vibrates at a lower frequency than emotions, which in turn are lower than thoughts.
As majestic spiritual beings living a human existence, we have multiple bodies of increasingly higher vibration – our physical, emotion, mental and spiritual bodies.
Within each energy band, there are higher and lower vibrations. While stress can manifest physically, the underlying energies that cause stress are not physical. These dense, low-vibration, non-physical energies can lead to anxiety, fear or anger.
Unless you release the underlying energies, your health and, ultimately, your life will suffer.
Whether or not you are able to cut back on stressful activities, one of the best ways to relieve stress is regular, direct contact with your innermost self. Communing daily offers you the opportunity to release stress.
Sleep is also beneficial, but when stress accumulates faster than it can be released, it's not enough. Even worse, chronic stress can adversely affect your sleep patterns rendering them ineffective in combating stress.
Communing with your innermost self is your ideal course of action, which is best achieved through meditation. Regular contact with your innermost self will not only eliminate accumulated stress, but prepare you for future stress before it arises.
