Do you respect the mind-body connection? #Stress #AddisonsDisease #NotDoneYet #IFindStrength
Try to focus your attention on a single thought or phrase and let go of the jumbled thoughts that are crowding your mind. Spending even a few minutes in meditation may help you feel calmer and less frazzled.
Your brain comes hard-wired with an alarm system for your protection. When your brain perceives a threat, it signals your body to release a burst of hormones that increase your heart rate and raise your blood pressure. This "fight-or-flight" response fuels you to deal with the threat. People with Addisons Disease have to take replacement hormones and try to find alternative means to cope.
