Let us understand stress, especially stress that is chronic and is not relieved by simple daily rest, it is essential to dig deeper. The underlying reason is the inability of the body and mind to bounce back. The elasticity of the body has been impaired. In other words, the capacity for resilience is weakened. Everybody has the capacity for resilience, as long as the stress triggers do not outstrip its capacity. Stress is a reaction to inner or outside events and can be expressed in varying ways – fight, flight, freeze, anger, anxiety, depression, ruminating, withdrawal, procrastination, attention deficit, workaholism, burnout. However normal stress reactions emerge and then settle back. That means it has the ability to go away, when not required. Chronic stress does not have an easy pathway to settle back. It stays on alert mode.
The incredible understanding from Ayurveda and yoga, is to build the body ground up, and not top down. Unsupported talk-therapy cannot repair and rejuvenate the physical body by itself. A healthy lifestyle is essential. When the container, the body, is strong, then the mind can flourish. The two critical pillars are – digestion, the ability of the body to receive wholesome nourishment, and sleep, the ability of the mind to deeply rest and rejuvenate. That is the why stress disorders affect both:
?Digestion – irregular appetite, bloating, ulcers, acid reflux, emotional eating, nausea, constipation, diarrhoea, GI tract issues
?Sleep – broken sleep, insomnia, awaking groggy, disturbing dreams, excessive sleep, sleeping against nature’s rhythms
