Recently I have been reading one book in particular: Basics of psychology. Half a year ago I decided to try again with a (distance) study. The book is 830 pages thick and I work my way through it. Does that cause me stress? Sometimes, but most of all I really enjoy it. One reason: For a basic scientific work, it offers amazingly realistic (survival) tips.<\/p>\n\n

What's with all this stress?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

The chapter on stress and health is also very enlightening. Because stress is known to make you ill. Why is that? First of all: Short-term stress, even massive stress, is not the problem. We humans can cope with it, it is coded deep within us - the sabre-toothed tiger in former times did not register by mail. So we have been living with this for a while. Once the tiger is gone, we calm down again. And that's good and normal.<\/p>\n\n

Nasty is the (present) chronic stress. The one that doesn't stop, that doesn't find a valve, that rotates like a merry-go-round in the back of the head and in life and that doesn't leave us alone - for far too long. Just relax, everyone will say. Right in principle, but easier said than done. It takes more than \"a little bit of relaxation\" before such a carousel of heads and life comes to a standstill. Is there anything I can do to change my attitude?<\/p>\n\n

Feeling effective again<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Here's the thing: Whoever feels unspeakable chronic stress, who has (felt) lost control over an area of life - this can be a relationship, a boss gone wild or a too busy everyday life. I should find out what or who has taken control of my area of life - even if the one or the other insight certainly hurts sometimes. And then you ask yourself the question: How do I get out of this situation?<\/p>\n\n

You should get out. Here are just a few examples why:<\/p>\n\n

Chronically stressed people have a particularly strained immune system (because it is limited in its function). They<\/p>\n\n
