Chronic Stress and Energy Flow

It is now well-recognized that when the human mind is clear, calm, and focused energy flows freely throughout the body without any blockage. Chronic stress is the primary factor that prevents free flow of energy in your body. Every individual on this Earth experiences stress on a daily basis. Moderate acute stress is good and wonderful; it enhances your willpower, gives you motivation and provides the energy to meet deadlines. For example, acute stress gets you ready on time if you are interviewing for a new job, or work longer hours to meet a deadline without getting overly tired. In moderate doses, acute stress revitalizes your body, prevents boredom, makes your life a bit more exciting, strengthens your immune system, and improves the ability of your body to wade off infection. An acute stress episode gives you an emotional boost, stimulates you into action, helps you perform a task better, and provides you with a sense of accomplishment. Good stress provides you with pleasant feelings, like the joy and excitement you feel when your favorite soccer or hockey team scores a goal, or when you get an unexpected call from a childhood friend. Moreover, the excitement for good stress stimulates your brain to release love chemicals like dopamine, serotonin, and endorphins that makes you feel really good.
