Macquarie Institute Stress and Emotional Management Solutions for Personal Development

Stress is the body and mind's response to any pressure that disrupts its normal balance. It occurs when our perception of events doesn't meet our expectations and we are unable to manage our reaction. Change, illness, injury, work pressure, career and lifestyle changes, financial worries are common causes of stress. However, It is the pressure and tension we feel in response to the little everyday hassles -- like rush hour traffic, waiting in line, and too many e-mails -- that do the damage. We look at outside events as the source of stress, but in fact stress is really caused by our emotional reactions to events.

Improving Your Health

According to the American Institute of Stress, up to 90% of all health problems are related to stress. Additionally, a large body of research confirms that our thoughts and emotions have a dynamic effect on our health and vitality.

HeartMath research has shown that when you learn how to intentionally shift to a positive emotion, heart rhythms immediately change. A shift in heart rhythms may not seem important but in fact it creates a favourable cascade of neural, hormonal and biochemical events that benefit the entire body. The stress-reducing effects are both immediate and long lasting. By practicing HeartMath tools and techniques you can learn how to create a shift in perception and feeling that it can have a dynamic effect on your overall health.
