The Stress Response Your response to a real or imagined threat. A physiological cascade that prepares the body to fight, flee, or freeze; This is a good thing – in small doses. We all have different stress Stress hormones Cortisol Adrenaline Norepinephrine During this alarm period, many different hormones are activated with many dramatic effects on other body systems. The heart beats faster, blood pressure is raised, and blood vessels dilate (open wider) to increase blood flow to the muscles. The pupils dilate to aid vision. The digestive system slows down so that the body's resources and energy can be used wherever else they are needed, and the production of saliva decreases. The bronchi dilate to aid breathing. The skin sweats to cool the body, and the liver releases its stores of glucose, the major fuel of the body, to increase the person's energy level. The body stays in overdrive until the brain tells it that the emergency has ended. Events that trigger the stress response usually are emergencies that do not last for very long. This allows the body to relax and recover after the emergency has ended so that it can respond correctly the next time its emergency response system is needed. Cortisol is the stress response hormone, which can be measured in the saliva. Contributes to a variety of health problems: Thinning hair Weight gain (mid-section) Brittle nails Cardiac problems Weakened muscles Ulcers Infections Memory problems Adrenaline: According to Dale (1997) adrenaline “is probably the single most addictive substance.” Chemically speaking, it’s equivalent to speed or meth. 4

Plan for free/unscheduled time Take the time you need to finish tasks that are important to you. Don't try to complete everything at once. Ask others, including kids, to help you complete chores. Rest when your body tells you to. 14
