Short and honest: Never. Give up.

When we are happy, life is simply more beautiful. But when we are unhappy on the other hand – one wrong look is enough to lead our thoughts astray all day.

Tips to reduce stress

What causes stress in our body?

Of course, stress can also be positive in that we have a run or work our way through a task quickly and at full speed. In this case, stress increases lower performance. And once we have successfully mastered a task, our self-confidence increases. So stress also has its good sides. We like to say: “I just work better under pressure”.

And there is a simple reason for that. Because your body goes into a different mode in stressful situations. One of the reasons for this is the stress hormone cortisol, which is released by the adrenal cortex. This is initially very helpful for the body, because together with the stress hormone adrenaline, the cortisol ensures that the body is particularly efficient in a difficult situation. The blood pressure goes up and so does the pulse. The body is now ready to react quickly and effectively. A very simple survival trick.
