The Top 10 Signs Your Body Is Under Stress and What To Do About It

 It's the invisible force that has us repeating mantras, downloading breathing apps and gorging on everything in the fridge as if our sanity depended on it (‘cause it kind of does 😅). But hold on, don't fret! Maudzie, your new partner in healthcare, is here to help you unravel the signs of stress, so you can get your body and health back on track! Now let’s get into it 💪

 

1. Hello, Sleepless Nights! 🌙

Ever found yourself counting sheep 🐑 at 3 AM, trying to win a staring contest with your ceiling? Or tossing and turning while your brain won’t stop taking inventory on every life choice you’ve ever made? That unwelcomed wakefulness you’re experiencing can be a sign your body is stressed and needs some help. It’s important to tackle this issue asap, since less sleep can cause even more stress and place more wear and tear on the body (like a weakened immune system and less focus and energy 😬).

What to Do?

Consider a pre-bedtime digital detox 📵. Swap scrolling for soothing nature sounds or a captivating book. Create a sanctuary that whispers, "relax," with soft lighting and perhaps a lavender scent🪻wafting through the air. Write down all your thoughts and to-dos on a piece of paper or journal about your day. Do some light stretches and deep breathing-all of these things can help your body unwind and destress. For a greater effect, combine these task with…

2. Mount Everest Resting on Your Shoulders 🏔️

Ever feel like you're carrying the world—or at least a very hefty mountain—on your shoulders? That's stress, setting up camp where it doesn’t belong. Your muscles tighten up, you immediately feel weighed down and all you want to do is sit and sip the day away 🍷. We get it. Stress can have such a physical toll on the body, that you’ll do whatever feels good to make it leave. But here’s a healthier approach…

What to Do?

Try a warm compress or a gentle massage where you feel the most tension on your body. Yoga or tai chi can also be wonderful for easing the tension and helping you feel more grounded. If those aren’t something you normally do or aren’t interested in, some good old fashioned stretching works just as well. Other physical movements, like an exercise routine or walking, can help your body decompress and feel less stressed. Pair any of these solutions with…

3. The Snack Monster Emerges 🍪

Midnight kitchen raids 🌜 or an insatiable desire for sugary treats 🍫 can be tell-tale signs of stress. It's your body’s way of telling you it needs a quick fix for some energy to compensate for the fight or flight it feels it's under (yep, stress triggers the parasympathetic nervous system-aka the flight, fight or freeze response). So it’s totally normal to want to eat when stressed, but try not give into the cravings.

What to Do Instead?

Organize your pantry with healthy, stress-busting snacks like nuts 🥜, fruits 🍎, or yogurt. Maudzie’s Spirulina Powder 🍵can be a calming ritual that not only hydrates but helps keep those snacky urges in check.

 

4. The Great Wall of Digestion 🧱

Stress can throw your digestion off balance, leading to bloating 😣, discomfort, and even changes in appetite. It’s like your stomach is throwing a tantrum.😡

What to Do?

Ever find yourself on an emotional rollercoaster 🎢, where one minute you're on top of the world, laughing away, and the next, you're down in the dumps, ready to shed tears over something as trivial as a spilled latte? This whirlwind of feelings could very well be stress playing puppeteer with your emotions.

What to Do?

Finding outlets for expression—be it journaling, art, or even karaoke 🎤—can help stabilize the emotional seesaw.  Music 🎵 and art resonate with us on a deeply emotional level. By engaging in these activities, you're not just killing time; you're actively participating in a form of self-therapy that can help bring equilibrium to your emotional state. ⚖️ 

 

6. Memory of a Goldfish 🐠

Forgot why you walked into the room? Stress can impact your memory and concentration, making you feel like Dory from "Finding Nemo."

This popular study shows stressful events over a few years can make the thinking abilities of people who already have some memory problems get worse faster. Basically, if your brain is already having a bit of trouble, stress might make things worse.

What to Do?

Try mindfulness practices to enhance focus and memory retention. A little meditation can go a long way in clearing the mental clutter.

 

7. The Skin Betrays 🎭

Your skin can be a billboard for stress, advertising in the form of breakouts or rashes. It's your body's external scream for a break.

What to Do?

8. The Cold That Never Leaves 🤧

If you're catching colds more often than catching up on your favorite shows, stress might be weakening your immune system.

9. The Energy Vampire 🧛‍♂️

Feeling more drained than your phone battery by noon? 🔋 Stress is notorious for sapping energy, leaving you feeling like a zombie. 🧟‍♂️ Even one study claims Fatigue might even be a condition caused by long-term stress. Fatigue and feeling stressed often happen together, especially in people who don't think their health is very good.

What to Do?

Imagine charging yourself up like a superhero every night to conquer the world by day. 💤.. Engage in activities that bring you joy and relaxation. Whether it's pursuing hobbies 🎨, spending time in nature 🌳, practicing mindfulness or meditation, or simply enjoying moments of leisure with friends and family 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦, these practices can help reduce stress levels and improve your quality of life. 

 

10. Pain, Pain, Go Away 🚫

Headaches, back pain, or other aches without a clear cause can be stress-related. It's like your body's alarm system is on overdrive.

What to Do?

Kick those stress-aches to the curb by playing detective with your own body! 🔍 Start by zeroing in on what's really grinding your gears. Once you've cracked the case, treat yourself like royalty with some top-notch pampering to soothe those nerves. Think of it as hitting the "chill" button on your body's internal freak-out mode. Dive into some deep breathing exercises as if you're inhaling calm and exhaling chaos
