Effects Many living with high stress are at a tipping point,
faced with potential physical and emotional-health challenges if they are not able to get the support they need to manage their stress well. If untreated, consistently high stress could become a chronic condition, which can result in serious health problems including anxiety, insomnia, muscle pain, high blood pressure and a weakened immune system. Research shows that stress can even contribute to the development of major illnesses, such as heart disease, depression and obesity, or exacerbate existing illnesses.

Why do we feel the way we feel and how can we change, redirect it or use it?
EMOTION :MOTION
Master your emotions, master your life.
First, understand that the ONLY REASON anyone does anything is to change the way they feel

How do you ‘choose’ to interpret your feelings?What do you call them?
![Page 16: Less your stress workshop](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051512/5442ef67afaf9fe7098b477e/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
No one makes you feel “happy” or “angry”, it’s based on how you’re interpreting each situation in your life and the meaning you associate to it.

Change Your State. If we don’t feel like getting up or
doing anything, we must drastically change our physiology (e.g., go for
a walk, jump up and down like a crazy person [seriously], do push-
ups, change our breathing [deeper, more conscious breaths], run as fast as we can for 30 seconds, etc.). Do something to radically change your
physical state. Motion creates emotion.

Never underestimate the power of
physical activity
