In a world filled with the constant buzz of technology, minor worries, and significant outside stressors, it can be hard to find a moment’s peace, a fragment of time where our minds aren’t being bombarded by some form of stressful situation. As a result, our body’s knee-jerk reaction is to go into fight or flight mode, a coping mechanism it has used since the dawn of time. This leads to increased heart rate and breathing, muscle tension, and even difficulty concentrating as our main focus becomes ‘survival’ and escape from the perceived threat.

Stress, Caveman Style!
Rewind a few million years, and this response was ideal for the humble caveman living without security cameras, burglar alarms, and a decent, lockable front door. How on earth did he sleep at night? Instead, he had to contend with the threat of wild animals wanting to eat him and a terrible lack of security with only a crudely fashioned club to protect himself and his family. No wonder, when faced with a hungry beast, his heart raced, and his muscles tensed in preparation to run like the blazes for higher ground!
You might think this sounds like the average Friday night in a large city center; fortunately, however marginally it may seem, life has progressed!
Unfortunately, although we no longer live in caves, wear skins and run from the local saber-tooth tiger, our bodies coping skills are still in the proverbial dark ages. This means we still react to stress in the same way our caveman family members did, which isn’t very helpful when faced with stressors such as the commute to work, family or financial pressures, or even illness.
Add to this pressure the constant bombardment of social media and technology, and you have modern mans’ shopping list of stressors that have taken the place of that dinner-seeking kitty!
Unfortunately, no amount of club waving, yelling, and dancing madly around the campfire at night will get that traffic jam moving, fire your mean boss or cure your financial woes. Instead, it might grant you a personal visit from the local neighborhood watch, which, trust us, isn’t the positive result you need! In fact, it will probably result in more stress – epic fail!
