Stress
Not all stress is bad; “Eustress” is the stress we have control over and when balanced makes us stronger and better able to manage our lives (i.e., exercise, learning new skills, starting a new job, having a child).
“Distress” is the stress we do not have control over that will lead us to a path ending in disease; autoimmune, metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular, adrenal, hormonal, or cancer. The core of this stress is usually fear, negative beliefs about ourselves and/or other people’s actions that we cannot control.
No matter how much time, money, or energy you spend trying to change the things that cause you distress, it won’t do anything but make you sick. Instead decide if there is anything you can do, and let go of the rest.
Our program teaches skills to help alleviate distress that can have dramatically positive effects on your mood and overall health.
