Stress is not in your head, it is in your nervous system...<\/p>\n
When you have been feeling stressed, you have probably been told: \u201cDon't worry so much and just relax, it's all in your head!\u201d<\/p>\n
It would be nice if it were that simple. But it is not.<\/p>\n
The stress response is not primarily in your head but in your autonomic nervous system, in the sympathetic side to be precise.<\/p>\n
In stressful situations, your fight-or-flight response is triggered, causing the sympathetic part of the nervous system to spring into action. This part of the nervous system releases stress hormones such as adrenaline and cortisol to prepare your body to fight or flee.<\/p>\n
How often do everyday stressful situations actually lead to fighting or fleeing? Probably not very often, but when nothing happens with the stress response in your body, those substances continue to circulate and the (sympathetic) nervous system remains alert. This prevents your body from relaxing.<\/p>\n
The psoas plays an essential role in your autonomic nervous system; your psoas instinctively kicks in during the fight-or-flight response to keep you safe and sends signals about your state of anxiety, safety and stress.<\/p>\n
In the next stressful situation, your body remembers the previous situation and goes into full stress mode as if it were in a life-threatening situation.<\/p>\n
At some point, your body can no longer cope with all that stress and you burn out. We call this burnout...<\/p>\n
For people with burnout, or those under stress, it is very important to restore balance to the nervous system and reduce the stress response so that your body can relax.<\/strong><\/p>\n In the workshop Juice Up Your Psoas<\/strong> we will work on topics such as:<\/p>\n We will be doing this and more at the Juice Up Your Psoas workshop, because peace in your body -> peace in your mind.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n So #ByeByeBurnOut \u00ae<\/strong><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Stress zit niet in je hoofd, het zit in je zenuwstelsel… Het is je vast wel eens gezegd wanneer je je gestrest voelde: ‘maak je niet zo druk en ontspan gewoon, het zit allemaal tussen je oren!\u2019 Het zou fijn zijn als het zo simpel was.
