Quote by Brenda Aloff

“Stress is like an allergic person's reaction to the environment. If you have hay fever, you will probably be able to tolerate some allergens. When you really have trouble is when you are exposed to several allergens over too short a period of time. This is a classic case of "the straw that broke the camel's back". Given a number of stressors in a short time, just about any dog may behave aggressively.”

“When John and his colleagues added up the data, they were startled. Feeling lonely, it turned out, caused your cortisol levels to absolutely soar - as much as some of the most disturbing things that can happen to you. Becoming acutely lonely, the experiment found, was as stressful as experiencing a physical attack. It's worth repeating. Being deeply lonely seemed to cause as much stress as being punched by a stranger.”

“È tutto cosi strano. Non so come spiegarlo bene. Ma ho la sensazione che manchi qualcosa. Mi sembra che le cose attorno a me comincino a scomparire, eppure c'è tutto. La mia casa è sempre la stessa ma qualcosa non è al suo posto. I miei ricordi hanno delle falle, dei vuoti. Forse mi sto solo creando problemi che non esistono. Oggi pomeriggio devo andare al lavoro, ne ho voglia. È come se oltre ai vuoti di memoria avessi iniziato a perdere anche la voglia di fare, mi appare tutto cosi inutile. Oggi è mercoledì, dopo il lavoro avevo un impegno ma... non ricordo quale.. spero passi in fretta questo periodo. Forse è solo stress. Fa questi brutti effetti lo stress? Mi sento come dentro un'enorme clessidra, il tempo passa ed io non mi sposto di un millimetro e quello che mi lascio alle spalle è semplice sabbia.”

“In short, you do not have to take the job that will create excessive stress and overarousal. Someone else will take it and flourish in it. You do not have to work long hours. Indeed, it may be your duty to work shorter ones. It may not be best to advertise it, but keeping yourself healthy and in your right range of arousal is the first condition for helping others.”

“Each wave that rolls onto the shore must release back to the ocean. You are the same. Each wave of action you take must release back to the peace within you. Stress is what happens when you resist this natural process. Everyone needs breaks. Denying this necessity does not remove it. Let yourself go. Realize that, sometimes, the best thing to do is absolutely nothing.”
