Optimal Brain Health is Linked to Emotional Health

Who do you know that's feeling stressed?

Let me rephrase that, Who do you know who isn't stressed?   Is it a shorter list?

When you look at the people who are not stressed, do you see that their behaviors and habits differ from you and others that are stressed?    Studies show that emotional intelligence is a factor in the level of stress we experience.

Emotional intelligence relates to your ability to handle stress when your emotions are running high.  Who do you know that fly's off the handle or explodes in a panic at seemingly small life events?

Did you know that when your emotions are worked up your body releases chemicals that slow down cognitive function for several hours?  No wonder we experience foggy thinking, slow reaction times and loss of short term memory.  Are we frying our brain due to our body's natural process of providing the chemicals we need to run from a tiger?  Are we stuck in that fight, flight or freeze mode, waiting for the tiger or the next shoe to fall in a relationship?

Any way you look at it emotional health creates a healthier brain that's better able to lead you through all the decisions of your day because it's free from the fight, flight and flee chemicals.  

Speeding up your brain function starts with balancing your emotions.  A Meridian Stress Analysis body scan has the ability to take your brain health to the next level.  How fast do you want to go?
