It&#8217;s not uncommon to spend days buried in a busy inbox, juggling a hectic schedule of social plans and meetings, only to stay up late catching up on social media. But no matter how resilient we think we are, too much stress can easily push us into emotional and physical burnout if we&#8217;re not careful.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/news\/item\/28-05-2019-burn-out-an-occupational-phenomenon-international-classification-of-diseases\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The World Health Organization<\/a> (WHO) has recently identified burnout as a growing epidemic, hailing it a workplace phenomenon. But beyond looming office deadlines, stress can compound in other areas of our lives too, from relationships and finances to parenting and climate worries.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Stress is a bit like a snowball,&#8221; explains Mindfulness Teacher <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nataliabojanic.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Natalia Bojanic<\/a>. &#8220;It&#8217;s much easier to control its impact at the early stages of formation, before it gains momentum and becomes a destructive force.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>So, what are the signs that we need to slow down? Here, Form\u2019s in-house health and holistic experts share everything you need to know, including steps you can take to manage stress effectively.<\/p>\n<h1>What\u2019s happening in the body when we\u2019re stressed?<\/h1>\n<p>\u201cStress triggers the body&#8217;s fight-or-flight response,\u201d explains Form\u2019s Head of Nutrition Dr. Adam Collins. \u201cThis primitive reaction is designed to mobilise energy from the body\u2019s fat and carbohydrate stores quickly, liberating fuel into the system so we can keep ourselves safe.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But while fight or flight can be life-saving when we need to respond to a physical threat, it can have unwanted effects if the stress is psychological. \u201cWithout physical exertion, all that fuel ends up hanging out in the body and accumulating in places it shouldn\u2019t be,\u201d says Dr. Adam. \u201cThis is why stress is often linked to both cardiovascular risks and fat redistribution.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-425726\" src=\"https:\/\/formnutrition.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/09\/inForm-How-do-I-know-if-my-stress-levels-are-too-high_-copy-image-1-.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" srcset=\"https:\/\/formnutrition.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/09\/inForm-How-do-I-know-if-my-stress-levels-are-too-high_-copy-image-1-.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/formnutrition.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/09\/inForm-How-do-I-know-if-my-stress-levels-are-too-high_-copy-image-1--768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/formnutrition.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/09\/inForm-How-do-I-know-if-my-stress-levels-are-too-high_-copy-image-1--680x383.jpg 680w, https:\/\/formnutrition.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/09\/inForm-How-do-I-know-if-my-stress-levels-are-too-high_-copy-image-1--400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/formnutrition.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/09\/inForm-How-do-I-know-if-my-stress-levels-are-too-high_-copy-image-1--600x338.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<h1>What are the key stress signs to look out for?<\/h1>\n<p>From a disrupted sleep cycle to feeling zapped of energy, stress can affect us in various ways.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrequent headaches, neck aches, back pain, stomach pain, and muscle spasms are clues that stress might be mounting,\u201d Natalia notes, with stress increasing inflammation levels in the body.<\/p>\n<p>When we\u2019re juggling too many deadlines, it can also impair the immune system, leading to frequent sniffly colds, infections, herpes sores, rashes and allergy attacks. \u201cLook out for difficulty breathing, heart palpitations, and panic attacks too, as well as unexplained fatigue and weakness,\u201d adds Natalia.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cInsomnia, nightmares, and disturbing dreams might become common during hectic periods,\u201d she continues.<\/p>\n<p>Since these symptoms can be difficult to pinpoint, keeping a dream diary can help track changes in your sleep and correlate them with your day-to-day experiences.<\/p>\n<h1>Why is it important to deal with stress and not ignore the issue?<\/h1>\n<p>With <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mentalhealth.org.uk\/explore-mental-health\/statistics\/stress-statistics#:~:text=In%20the%20past%20year%2C%2074,overwhelmed%20or%20unable%20to%20cope.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">almost three-quarters of adults<\/a> reporting feeling so stressed over the past year that they\u2019ve felt overwhelmed, it can be easy to think that living in a state of near-frazzle is normal.
