You will also learn about the subtle symptoms and signs of stress and how and why they occur -- and most importantly how they wreak havoc in our lives.
Lesson #3: The Symptoms & Signs of Stress
To protect ourselves in a world of psychological—rather than physical—danger, we must consciously pay attention to unique signals telling us whether we are actually in fight or flight. Some of us may experience these signals as physical symptoms like tension in our muscles, headache, backache, upset stomach, racing heartbeat, palpitations, deep sighing or shallow breathing. Others may experience them as emotional or psychological symptoms such as anxiety, poor concentration, depression, hopelessness, frustration, anger, sadness or fear.
