YOUR BODY'S RESPONSE TO STRESS

Stress affects us in so many ways. It can make us age faster, give us digestive issues, increase hair loss, keep us from sleeping well, alter the way we communicate with others, shift the way our body absorbs nutrients, lower our sex drive, make us crave foods/substances to numb out, gain weight and make us sick. 

None of these responses are desirable, so it's helpful to have tools to calm our body down so that we can feel safe enough to relax again. This stops cortisol from flooding our system so that we can move back into rest and digest from fight or flight. 

There are two muscles, one in the neck and one in the low back/hip area that are very responsive to stress or stress response muscles. This means that they engage when we're stressed and if they're not released as part of the calming process, they can tend to stay engaged and alter our alignment. This will force other muscles to jump in and do jobs they weren't designed to do which over time, can give us pain/discomfort.

In this month's video, I'm showing you how to release these muscles so that you can take care of yourself and bring things back into balance after and stressful day.

June was the month of travel me and my husband.  I spent every weekend on a plane, in a car, or on a train.  Each destination was beautiful and full of family, friends, and sunshine!  That was the upside.  On the downside, I was feeling all sorts of discomfort from sitting more than my body is used to.  After the first trip, I changed things up a little and made a mini workout in the seated position.  If you travel for work or leisure, try out any or all of the following tips to get rid of discomfort.
