Can you limit stress to healthy levels?
Let’s move on in my list of physical health. It is time for STRESS! Well, stress fits in in the mental health department too. Stress plays dual roles in our lives. A little bit of stress keep us moving and alert making us do our best. A lot of stress is on the other hand detrimental to our health.

Let’s continue in the physical health department

Time to take a virtual helicopter ride

Imagine that you ride a helicopter and you are hovering above your own person. Take a close look and what do you see? A happy person, a stressed person, a sad person?

You have stepped off the Hamster Wheel as first step and you have started to get to know yourself as step two. Feels good, doesn’t it? Now is the time for some more mental work in step three. Maybe you have read my earlier blog post “Take care of your brain and the rest will follow”. In it I wrote about Dr Small who had made research around longevity. 5 of his 8 essential points are about the mind and the mindset. You who know me know that my most basic truth is that we have to keep smiling to keep the positive spirals to rule. (more…)
