Stress is a useful tool. But we must bring it down to tolerable, healthy levels. Stress keeps us alert to impending danger. Physical stresses, such as headache and noise, evoke biological reactions. Psychological stresses, such as feeling out of control and job insecurity, evoke psychological defenses.
Some stresses evoke both types of reactions.
When the body or the mind is overstressed, when the system experiences overload, we experience fatigue and exhaustion. In this section, I give an elementary presentation of a system that is both physiologically and psychologically complex. My purpose is to examine abuses of this complex system and to suggest effective remedies for those abuses. You'll find the program works for everyone, whether you are a CRT user, an office manager, a retired person, or a truck driver. There are four major recommendations that I rely on for all stress problems, though the problems may not appear similar.
