STRESS OUT,STRESS IN.

WE ALL NEED A LITTLE STRESS NOW AND THEN.
STRESS, IN ITS NATURAL FORM KEEPS US SAFE AND ALERT IN TIMES OF DANGER.
LIKE IF A MAN IS NAKED AND HAS A KNIFE IN HIS MOUTH AND A PATCH ON HIS EYE AND IS COMING TOWARD YOU ON HIS BELLY
LIKE AN INCH WORM,
THAT'S WHEN STRESS SENDS A MESSAGE TO YOUR BRAIN ,WHICH SAYS:
"STRANGER DANGER"!!
AND YOUR BODY STARTS TO PRODUCE CHEMICALS SO YOU CAN RUN HOME OR THROW YOUR ICED COFFEE AT HIM AND HAIL A TAXI.
OR
MAYBE YOU'VE LEFT A LARGE GRUMPY IN THE TOILET AND YOU WERE SO PREOCCUPIED WITH RELEASING IT WITH THE LEAST AMOUNT OF SOUND THAT YOU FORGET TO FLUSH IT AND THEN YOUR BOSS STARTS TO GO INTO THAT VERY SAME STALL .
WELL FOLKS THATS WHEN STRESS AND THE HORMONES AND CHEMICALS IT PRODUCES, COME IN HANDY CREATING A FLIGHT OR FIGHT SCENARIO
HELPING YOU TO PERHAPS HAVE THE SPEED AND AGILITY TO WHIZ PAST YOUR BOSS EXCLAIMING:

"EXCUSE ME I THINK I LEFT SOMETHING IN THERE"

AND SAVING YOUR DAY/JOB WITH ONE OR THREE SIMPLE PUSHES OF A HANDLE.

FRIENDS IT'S ONLY WHEN STRESS OR "STRESS" AS ITS KNOWN IN JAPANESE
CONTINUES TO PRODUCE CHEMICALS IN YOUR BODY LONG AFTER ANY DANGER IS PRESENT IN THE NOW MOMENT, THAT IT BECOMES A PROBLEM.
WHEN THE STRESS IS COMING FROM THOUGHTS OF THE PAST,OR FUTURE.
THATS WHEN STRESS BECOMES YOUR BODIES ENEMY AND THOSE SAME CHEMICALS THAT WERE HELPING YOU SURVIVE, START ATTACKING YOUR BODY AND YOU START GETTING SICK!
AND WE ALL KNOW GETTING SICK CAN REALLY STRESS YOU OUT.

DEAREST FRIENDS, I REALLY WANT YOU TO THINK ABOUT THIS,
THINKING TO MUCH COULD KILL YOU!

NOW, I DON'T MEAN THINKING ABOUT "I WONDER WHAT I WILL HAVE FOR DINNER?"

I AM TALKING ABOUT THINKING LIKE:
" I HOPE MY HOUSE HASN'T BURNT DOWN AGAIN AND ALL THE FOODS DESTROYED AND I WELL HAVE TO LIVE ON THE STREETS, LIKE I DID WHEN I WAS A KID AND I GOT ATTACKED BY ALL THOSE ANGRY POODLES AND HAD TO GET ALL THEM SHOTS AND WAS SENT TO LIVE WITH MY SNEAKY UNCLE ,OH GOD I AM SO HUNGRY! BUT I CANT GO THROUGH THAT AGAIN! I JUST CANT ,WHY GOD, WHY NOW ? LIFE IS SO UNFAIR, I THINK I SHOULD JUST GO CHECK MYSELF BACK INTO THE HOSPITAL BEFORE I JUST START EATING THIS LADIES HAIR WHO SETTING BESIDE ME ON THIS BUS."

ALL I AM SAYING IS WE NEED TO ASK OR SELFS IS THIS REALLY REAL?
IS THIS NOW?
WE NEED TO BE STILL.
TO PAUSE.
TO TAKE A BREATH.
GO OFF-LINE.
UNPLUG.

FOR THE LOVE OF ASCLEPIUS!!
TAKE CARE OF YOUR SELFS.

YOU ARE OK RIGHT NOW.

I THINK.

THANKS FOR YOUR HELP.
CLAM
