Coping with Stress
Coping with stress is important when dealing with Candida related illness. Human beings are made up of complex systems of physical, mental, emotional and even spiritual characteristics. All of these aspects of your humanity need continual healing and support.
Signs of Stress
You can go all day every day for a long time, then one day you find yourself unwell. I think that's called 'Burning The Candle at Both Ends' or 'Burn Out'! Does this sound like you? Mental and physical stress has increased. More people are taking time off work because of stress. I wonder if the media and electronic devices has been an aid or a hinderance? The endocrine system is a finely tuned system and is affected by your stress levels. We tend to believe that stress is out of our control. I know this is hard to believe, but we can be in control of how we handle our stress. We can change our behaviors and our response to a situation or circumstance. Your Body It is common knowledge that stress weakens your Immune System. Since Candida is a condition of imbalance, your stress level will limit the speed of your recovery. Stress can trigger relapses, just when you think you have about got your condition turned around. If you suffer from insomnia, look at your stress level. Perhaps what you perceive as stress and your body perceives as stress are two different things. If your body becomes overly acidic, rather than a balance of acid and alkaline, your body becomes stressed. The symptoms that follow could be an expression of that stress. One day, you find you have developed allergies, digestive issues, insomnia, headaches and yes, even candida.
