Reactions and Responses.
How much do we know about ourselves in the physical sense? The biological attributes that people can refer to in this capacity could be that of action and response, fight or flight and reflex reactions.
When it comes to natural reactions and instantaneous response, just say you were crossing the road and a car blares its horn, multiple actions throughout the body can subsequently occur of which someone might not even be aware. Even in those first few seconds, there can already be a rush of adrenaline that starts to make its way around a body and all the muscles could tense in anticipation of being ready for action. This is the sympathetic system which has taken charge of the resources for survival.
The effects of the body’s nervous system can mean that subsequent to any shock, feelings and symptoms can manifest at a later stage. Delayed or latent physical responses can be completely natural and required ways for the body to deal with an occurrence. It can be quite common following a shock, for people to experience fatigue or emotional outbursts. Coping mechanisms in the body may well result in feeling a little weary or a need to sit down for a short rest. In these specific moments it can be useful to implement certain beneficial relaxation techniques.
Allowing the body an opportunity to repair and rest after a difficult or challenging experience can be vital to attaining good health. After closing the eyes and relaxing all muscles, try just listening to your slow, systematic breathing in and out. At this juncture, self awareness of the breathing process could turn into subconscious activity and it is quite possible to experience the need for a short nap. That is when the parasympathetic system has taken over control. This is a significant part of the autonomic nervous system.
If people feel a lack of energy, it could be a build up of stress. An accumulation of anxiety that we are not aware of could at certain times of stress take place and this can be detrimental to the body’s ability to maintain a physical sense of wellness. Personally, I have found that deliberately setting a time to regularly sit down and relax both body and the mind when possible, is a way to focus on improving how I feel. Even a few simple minutes of targetted relaxation can help to ensure that stress levels in the body do not start to become excessive.
Another important factor in looking after the body in terms of reactions and responses, is getting enough restful sleep. This significant practice allows the parasympathetic system a chance to repair and grow throughout the body. It is only in deep sleep that the accumulation of waste build up in the brain can be efficiently and effectively disposed.
Reactions and responses are fascinating. The body has a lot of ways with which to physically reply, when the situation poses a difficult or unexpected scenario. I find just slowing my breathing down through my nose and when breathing out, take a little longer emphasis on the time than when breathing in, will tip the balance in favour of assisting the parasympathetic nervous system.
Although the autonomic nervous system is independent of our conscious thoughts, people still have the power to address the situation. It is, for example when tension or stress is felt, that how it is dealt with can make all the difference.
