Stress has now been classified as a major disease in this modern era. A healthy mental state is one of the components to achieving Radiant Wellness. Stress comes about because our worldly attitude is based on achievement. We lead our lives with an attitude of gaining, attaining, or achieving. We are conditioned by our education and society to see life as something we must use in order to attain or become something. Our intellect is conditioned to think in terms of gaining.
Stress can be job, workplace, family, financial, personality, adrenaline, cognitive, grief, sleep deprivation, psychosomatic, physiological or psychological related.
As we are thinking beings, we can think in the wrong way about ourselves and the universe, and we do this when we are depressed and frightened. Once we start thinking in the right way, our fears, anxieties, and problems can dissolve. Thus it is important to be able to establish our mental process wisely.
Stress is not a "stand-alone" disease, it will lead to high blood pressure (hypertension); heart disease; diabetes; chronic kidney disease; obesity; physical and mental exhaustion; insomnia; chronic worrying; anxiety; anger; failing immune system; and depression. Researchers have found that the "personality traits" associated with chronic worrying could lead to unhealthy habits like smoking and heavy drinking which can lead to earlier death. Researchers call this personality traits "neuroticism". Anxious or depressed people with "high neuroticism" are more likely to smoke and self-medicate with drugs and alcohol.
There is a relationship between weight gain and multiple types of stress and stressed individuals who are already overweight are likely to gain more weight.
Thus serious stress management include some form of retreat away from the hustle and bustle of daily living.
