Stress seems to be a natural part of our modern world, but it is a biological function that has evolved with us to keep us safe. When we are exposed to certain types of stimuli, our bodies react with physiological changes, such as an increase in breathing, heart rate, and blood pressure. Blood and nutrients are sent to the muscles, and the brain prepares to optimize its functioning to focus solely on potential threats. While our bodies well-designed to manage stressful encounters, chronic stress can eventually take a heavy toll on us. Using a hypnosis app for stress relief can empower you to set down your stressful burden and breathe a little more freely.

How Well Do You Cope with Stress?

The body does not necessarily distinguish well between real and imagined threats. In other words, it responds similarly whether a taxi is careening down the road in your direction or you have a deadline fast approaching. In both scenarios, your body is likely to react with similar physical and emotional changes that prepare you to fight or flee.

During a stressful event, your glands send out a flood of hormones, triggering a chain reaction of physiological changes, such as faster breathing. One of these hormones is cortisol, otherwise known as the “stress hormone.” Cortisol has several jobs, including a role in the part of the brain that stores and processes memory: the hippocampus.

Signs that you might not be coping well with the stress in your life include:

  • Emotional changes, such as anxiety, loneliness, feeling easily overwhelmed, or depression
  • Behavioral changes, such as changes in sleeping habits, substance misuse, changes in your eating habits, or procrastination
  • Cognitive changes, such as worry, an inability to focus, foggy thinking, negativity, or poor judgment
  • Physical changes, such as pain without an underlying cause, digestive issues, altered libido, or increased illnesses
  • worsening tinnitus

UpNow’s self-hypnosis audio for stress can help you set down your stressful burden and breathe a little more freely. With our stress relief hypnosis app, you can learn to take control of the parts of your life that feel out-of-control, you can enjoy more restful sleep, you can calm your worries, and you can even ease your pain.

The Risks Associated with Stress

Chronic stress leads to an overproduction of cortisol, which erodes and impairs the brain’s ability to learn and remember information. It can cause you to withdraw from favorite activities and avoid other people. Worse, over time, it can shrink the prefrontal cortex and enlarge the amygdala, making you more sensitive to stress and essentially creating a cycle of stress that can be almost impossible to end. Our stress relief hypnosis app offers you a lifeline.

With our hypnosis app for stress relief, you can take control of the stress that is trapping you in an unhealthy cycle and causing you to withdraw from the people and things you love. What possibilities might your life hold if stress was not an issue? With our hypnosis downloads for stress and anxiety, you can leave your stress behind you.

You might notice the emotional symptoms of chronic stress first, but over time, stress can lead to inflammatory changes and potentially serious health risks.

Common long-term risks associated with chronic stress include:

  • Impaired immune function
  • Cardiovascular disease
  • Gastrointestinal complications
  • Altered endocrine function

When you become overwhelmed by chronic stress, it can become difficult to regain control on your own. Too many people adopt bad habits, such as eating too much or smoking to distract themselves from stress. The right hypnosis downloads for stress and anxiety can give you the coping skills you need to manage your stress and overcome the challenges in your life. The right hypnosis app can help you shed bad habits.

Negative Mindsets and Stress

You cannot necessarily end all sources of stress in your life. However, you can change the way you react to stressful events. When you use hypnosis for stress management, you can learn to stay calm and centered even when the world around you is in chaos.

Self-hypnosis audio for stress is a powerful tool for taking control of not just your natural stress response but also the way you see the events that bring you stress. When you feel anxious, worried, or stressed, our stress relief hypnosis app can help you reframe those thoughts and adopt a more positive point of view.

Because of the way stress changes brain function, it is often easy to slide into a negative mindset when you experience chronic stress.

Examples of negative thinking include:

  • Magnifying negative aspects of a situation
  • Personalizing negative events or self-blame
  • Catastrophizing or assuming the worst
  • Polarizing, which means seeing a situation as all good or all bad

Negativity such as this lives deep within the subconscious mind. We can make a conscious attempt to focus our attention in another direction but to completely reprogram the way your brain works, you need to address the subconscious directly. That is what a hypnosis app for stress relief does. Our hypnosis app for stress relief can help you uproot your negative mindset and replace it with more positive thinking and habits moving forward.
