Tension is a crucial aspect of our wake/sleep cycle and our energy. Tension is the reaction to a perceived threat and/or low blood sugar.
A little stress is an excellent thing. A little stress is what we call 'eustress' and this is what motivates us to focus and to be efficient. Furthermore, a little stress assists us remain awake and alert and to focus on whatever it is we're doing.
The issue is when we have too much tension, or when this tension lasts too long. Keep in mind, we're expected to go through cycles where we change in between 'alert and awake' and 'unwinded and calm'.
What do you think occurs if you're highly 'awake and alert' for 8 hours straight without a break? When you apply yourself you see, you are producing hormones that keep your energy levels high.
The problem is, that there's only so here much of these neurochemicals that we can produce. In this state, we will experience incredibly low energy, low mood and low inspiration! And this is due to the fact that you have actually been producing these 'go, go, go' hormonal agents for 8 hours straight-- which is entirely abnormal.
That much focus meanwhile increases the quantity of adenosine and the variety of cytokines. Worse still, is that your body is really not working at all, implying that you're going to be feeling that tired and invested despite not having had any helpful workout. What's more, is that being constantly 'on' throughout the day is a great way to cause health issue.
These cycles are here for a factor. The big amount of tension will in fact reduce your food digestion when you eat and then go directly back into work.
Well stress is actually the mortal opponent of creativity. Tension actually triggers the prefrontal cortex-- the smart and 'imaginative' part of our brain-- to shut down entirely.
This leads to errors and suggests you're not going to be performing your finest at all. If you permit this to go on enough time, the worst-case situation is that it leads to anxiety and/or major disease. The best-case situation is that you'll spend your nights gazing blankly into space with no will power, energy or inspiration to do anything.
