The summer break is over. And the return to school, inevitable, is pointing the tip of its nose with its faithful friend: stress. Why such a duo? Because stress is the manifestation of our difficulty adapting to change. The sign of a stormy passage between two balances.
The physical and emotional effects of stress
Faced with a destabilizing situation or event to come, our body feels in danger and reacts by releasing hormones, the physical effects of which are multiple: lack of sleep, drop in blood pressure, increased heart rate with palpitations, muscle tension, headaches, lack of attention, digestive disorders, skin problems and many more.
Lack of sleep is one of the most common signs of stress. It originates in the release of hormones that put the body on alert but also, and above all, in the lack of calm of the mind. It is indeed difficult to fall asleep and enjoy restorative nights when a thousand and one thoughts are parasitizing us. And back to school is one of the most conducive times to these cumbersome thoughts. At stake ? Emotional repercussions such as irritability, restlessness and anxiety.
