The Wellness Wheel Assessment Tool

Stress…  “The disruption of the body’s homeostasis or a state of disharmony in response to a real or perceived challenge.”

Bell Curve

Homeostasis: Process by which the body regulates its internal conditions to achieve equilibrium and maintain proper bodily functions.

Stress Hormones:  Epinephrine  Norepinephrine  Cortisol

Epinephrine and Norepinephrine Increases:  Heart rate.  Blood Pressure.  Respiratory rate.  Effects dissipate when stressful event is gone.

Cortisol:  In Small Amounts: Effects are quick burst of energy, heightened memory functions, proper glucose metabolism, regulation of Blood Pressure, immune function.  Higher and Prolonged Levels: Impaired cognitive function, suppressed thyroid function, blood sugar imbalance, increased abdominal fat deposition (associated with cardiovascular disease, metabolic syndrome, and other health problems).

Invoke the relaxation response and restore your balance with these stress management tools.

 Occurs when the stress hormone levels return to normal.  Lowers heart rate.  Lowers blood pressure.  Reduces oxygen consumption.  Has anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory effects. The Relaxation Response:

Mindful Meditation: One approach to eliciting the relaxation response by focusing on breathing.  Mindful = Awareness and focus on the present moment.

 Once or twice per day for minutes.  Relaxed position with eyes closed.  Repeat a word or concentrate on breathing: “relaxation, rhythm, and ritual.”
