Long term chronic stress and the effect on our allostatic load

Allostatic load is a term we are going to hear a lot more about in the future. It is used in the field of psychology and medicine to describe the cumulative wear and tear on the body as a result of chronic stress. It refers to the physiological consequences of chronic exposure to stressors, which can lead to a range of negative health outcomes. The concept of allostatic load highlights the interconnectedness of the mind and body, emphasizing the impact of psychological stress on physical health.

SMART GOALS for 2024

I’m sure many of us have set new and exciting goals for 2024. Often we set these goals with our rose tinted glasses on. We might overestimate our ability to achieve them, or we might not have fully thought out how exactly we will achieve them. Using a SMART approach to goal setting can help us to work out if our goals are actually achievable or not, and to develop an action plan for how we will achieve them.

SILENCE IS GOLDEN; CREATING A SPACE FOR STILLNESS

In today's fast-paced and constantly connected world, finding moments of stillness can be a challenge. However, creating space for silence is not only beneficial for our mental and emotional well-being, it also allows us to cultivate mindfulness and deepen our meditation practice. Whether it's through creating a physical space in our home or incorporating moments of stillness into our daily routines, finding silence can have a profound impact on our overall sense of calm and clarity.
