Stress Management

What is it about the way we live that makes many of us so stressed, and why do so many of us live our lives in a constant, jaw-clenched state with our adrenals working overtime? And why have we upped the pain when it comes to reducing our stress?

Chronic stress has been called ‘the silent killer’ as it contributes to some of the most grisly and chronic malaises such as heart disease, cancer and depression. Carrying around trauma, guilt, anger, resentment and emotional conflicts adds to our daily stresses and wreaks havoc on our bodies and emotional wellbeing, leading to long term issues and anxieties.

Stress is a reaction – we can learn how to handle it better, how to react to stressful situations, and how to harness it to take the pressure off – and so below we have highlighted some programmes from our favourite stress-busting partner spas who will tailor a programme around your needs. It’s time to get some serious relief, with the only stress being in deciding how you want to achieve this.

BENEFITS OF A STRESS MANAGEMENT RETREAT

Reducing stress and anxiety in your everyday life is extremely important for maintaining your overall health, as amongst other things it can improve your mood, boost immune function, promote longevity, reduce weight gain and allow you to be more productive. It can also help improve relationships with friends and family. When you let your stress and anxiety get the best of you, you put yourself at very serious risk of developing a wide range of potentially fatal health complications including heart disease, strokes, heart attacks and type 2 diabetes, so it is vitally important to get these conditions under control as soon as possible.
