The Stresses of Today Can Be Remedied Close to Home at Sage Wellness Center

In today’s world, being stressed out is almost worn as a badge of honor. People are overbooked, overwhelmed, stressed out, and just plain exhausted! Stress is bombarding us from every imaginable angle, affecting us physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and energetically. All of that stress is taking its toll on our health. In fact, estimates show that stress is at the root of 80-90% of all diseases! This fact should be a strong motivator for us to be intentional about reducing and releasing our stressors.

Think of stress like the layers of an onion. There are layers made up of physical stressors. These include dehydration, poor nutrition, lack of movement and sunlight, poor sleep, and exposure to toxins and radiation.

Then there are the mental, emotional, and spiritual layers. These include financial strain, traumatic events, toxic relationships, family stress, work or school stress, and loneliness. We also carry stress from the subconscious baggage programmed into our system through various life events. Feeling spiritually confused or disconnected can also create stress and inner conflict.

Finally, we are susceptible to the energy of people and places. Some people are much more sensitive in this regard than others, but it affects everyone to a certain degree. We are especially susceptible to the energy of our spouses, family members, and coworkers. As a result, we often carry other people’s stress or negative energy. The negative energy present in specific locations adds another layer of stress to our bodies. For example, living close to a 5G cell tower or a power station causes issues for some people. If we are unaware of this, it can drain our energy and vitality!

Our bodies do a remarkable job of dealing with all the stressors in our day-to-day lives. However, if we never do anything to reduce or release stress, symptoms will begin to manifest.

On the other hand, when stressors are reduced or released, the body can enter “rest, digest, and repair” mode, allowing symptoms to recede. Some great tools you can use to intentionally reduce and release stress include:

• Biofeedback to reduce physical, mental, and emotional stress.

• Breathwork for releasing the stress connected to blocked emotions and stagnant energy in the body.

• Gentle detoxification using tools like dietary changes, Epsom salt baths, and massage.

• Herbal remedies that help the body activate its self-repairing abilities and replace the nutrients depleted by stress.
