🌿 Stress: The Double-Edged Sword

Stress isn’t always bad. In fact, it’s a natural survival response designed to protect us.

When danger strikes, your body releases chemical messengers from the adrenal glands and sympathetic nervous system. These hormones trigger feelings like fear, anxiety, and even excitement — depending on how you perceive the situation.

Here’s what happens inside your body:

• 💨 Breathing becomes rapid and shallow

• ❤️ Heart rate and blood pressure rise

• 💪 Muscles get flooded with oxygen and nutrients

• 🍽️ Non-essential systems (digestion, elimination, sex drive) pause

• 🧠 Higher reasoning gives way to instinct

This “fight-or-flight” response is brilliant for emergencies. But in modern life, it often backfires.

⚠️ Why Chronic Stress Wears Us Down

Unlike our ancestors, we face constant stressors — traffic, deadlines, bills — that keep the stress response switched on. Over time, this leads to burnout.

The consequences are serious:

• 🚨 Cardiovascular strain (high blood pressure, heart disease risk)

• 🍽️ Digestive troubles (indigestion, constipation, low appetite)

• 🛡️ Weakened immunity (more colds, flu, even cancer risk)

• 😔 Emotional fallout (depression, irritability, poor sleep)

In short, chronic stress drains resilience and chips away at health.

💆 Pamper Yourself: Pleasure as Medicine

Dr. Paul Pearsall, author of The Pleasure Prescription, reminds us: pleasure heals more than stress harms.

Pleasure relaxes muscles, boosts energy, and even triggers healing. Many people are sick simply because they lack joy in their lives.

So instead of only fighting stress, invite more pleasure:

• 🛁 Take a relaxing bath or soak in a hot tub

• 🎶 Listen to beautiful music

• 🌸 Surround yourself with pleasant fragrances and colors

• 💆 Treat yourself to a massage

Pleasure isn’t indulgence — it’s medicine.
