info@marionstiefeler.deStress is actually a positive thing - a survival program dating back to prehistoric times. In the event of danger, it releases physical energy so that people can react immediately with increased motivation. Meaning: fight better or flee faster.
Applied to our present, this means that stress is not fundamentally negative - quite the opposite:
Today we are at the mercy of other stressful situations. In order to master these, we no longer have to be physically active. The result: there is no valve to dissipate the extra energy released. In the long term, this becomes noticeable in the form of physical or mental complaints.
The problem therefore lies in long-term stress or constant stress. If we have that, we are permanently in the survival program. But a life of constant tension without periods of relaxation throws the body's balance out of balance. Negative mental and physical effects are the result.
But why doesn’t everyone react to stress in the same way?
– or can’t be stressed at all?
Who is stressed and when and why?
People are different. That's why everyone reacts differently to certain situations in everyday life.
You probably know this:
Some people can work and work and are still in a good mood and motivated. Or juggle a lot of time-consuming tasks at the same time. Others are stressed even with a much smaller volume of work or tasks.
The reason for this is the personal interpretation of the current situation as "stresses me out" (= stress trigger) or "doesn't stress me out".
Typical stress triggers are:
Each person perceives a situation as a stress trigger - or not. And just as individual and unique is the way in which this stress is dealt with. This stress reaction always follows the same behavioral strategy learned over the years. This is shaped by individual experiences.
In this way, each of us develops our own personal stress code. It ensures that we always react in the same way in the same situations. If this is harmful to the mind and/or body in the long term, we will feel it sooner or later.
Together we change your stress code
