the satisfy system
Use the following model to help you to understand ‘stress’ and how you can deal with it to satisfy you in a healthy vigorous way
| STRESS | stimuli
– physical or mental in origin, pleasant or unpleasant – are present, received and processed by your brain |
| AROUSAL | you ‘wake up’ to the perception of the stress stimuli and ‘arousal substances’ are released in your body |
| TENSION | is created in your physiological systems and in your psychological systems to prepare you for action [fight or flight] |
| IDENTIFICATION | stress stimuli are processed in the context of your personal circumstances, individual goals and potential for change |
| STRATEGY | you develop an action plan to deliver an appropriate response to the stress stimuli, creating an environment for change |
| FLOW | your focused thoughts and action, active or passive, release tension and a new energy balance arises. This becomes a good habit – a continuous flow for stress situations for ever |
| YES | say ‘yes’ to understanding the nature of stress from now on, say ‘yes’ to responsible action and reaction, say ‘yes’ to life! |
