Stress Is Highly Contagious

                                                 "Stress is caused by being here
                                                        but wanting to be there."
                                                             - Eckhart Tolle

When we are feeling stressed we usually think that it all about us.
Our problems and our stress.
We often think that we are the only one with these problems and that it's only affecting us and no one else.
You might want to think again.



Stress is highly contagious and it will eventually impact the people around you.
Making their lives more stressful too.

If you are in a intimate relationship with someone and they experience a high level of stress for a long period of time, it will put a strain on the relationship and it might even fail.
When we are stressed, our perception of things are heightened and we become more sensitive, which can cause conflict and communication issues.
And if you don't know how to help someone that is highly stressed, you will start to feel disconnected it will eventually make you feel stressed too.

If you have stress at home it will affect your work.
And if you have a lot of stress at work it will make an impact on your life with your family and friends.

When we are stressed we also make more mistakes.
Stress will shut down the more logical part of our brain and it will activate the "fight or flight" mode instead.
Stressed people will usually make more mistakes at work, in traffic and at home.
Your mistakes will absolutely affect those around you.

Stress will also affect your nutritional decisions. It's easier to opt for junk food instead of cooking a healthy meal. It's faster..... because most of the time we feel too tired to actually cook.
Or we eat out a lot, which will eventually take its toll on our health.
