Back to work: how do you keep the relaxed feel from the break?
Many of us have now gone back to work. After the long Festive break, you will be adjusting back to the relentless pace of business.
Stress resides not in the mind but in the nervous system. Our ‘fight or flight’ response raises our cortisol level causing the sympathetic nervous system to activate. Our bodies are designed for a raised cortisol level but only in short bursts to aid our survival. However in our modern ‘always on the go’ life style, many people live with chronic raised cortisol levels leading to slow digestion, sleep disruption and other side effects.
