The fast paced world we live in encourages us to push ourselves harder each and every day. Between work, family, home life, and personal commitments, there is rarely a spare moment in the day to take a deep breath and relax.

Some of the long term effects of chronic stress can include digestive problems, chronic fatigue and adrenal dysfunction. However, for a lot of people, they wait until the symptoms are at the extreme before addressing them. We believe the key is to recognise your symptoms early on, and support yourself to manage stress in a healthy way as soon as possible.

Some of the short term effects of chronic stress include anxiety, agitation, inability to sleep, fatigue, hormonal imbalance, concentration problems and a general feeling of frustration.

If you’re reading this mentally ticking the points off in your mind, this is a sign that something may need to change.

Instead of pushing to burnout, it might be time to explore effective stress management options.
