Guest guest Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 An interesting article I read in my email today about retreat. At first glance of the title, I was thinking it must be introducing some places we can go for retreat like resorts, beaches etc. To my pleasant surprise, it is talking about non other than a place very near to us - right in our home. This is truly something which you might be able to create right in your home to help yourself to relax. The stress of modern life can be overwhelming. When you have too much on your mind, your body produces excess stress hormones like adrenaline, non-adrenaline, and an adrenal-cortex hormone. Additionally, your body experiences other changes. Your heart rate increases, your blood pressure goes up, your respiration levels change, you begin to sweat, and you become unable to process your food because digestion shuts down. While moving or any type of physical action can slow or even stop the effects of stress, sitting at your desk or in the car simply causes all of the stress reactions in your body to continue. At some point, your body becomes so full of the stress reactions; you can't handle the simplest of daily tasks. This is the time to retreat from the everyday stress of life.
