It might not be so much what you eat, but what you think, that can make you sick.

Reducing your risk of everything from ulcers to obesity, anxiety and heart disease could be as easy as reducing your stress levels.(Harvard University July, 2020)

Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction has been helping people prevent, reverse, and manage chronic disease since it was developed by John Kabat-Zinn in 1979.  

In this day long mini retreat we will address the main causes of your chronic stress and teach you effective techniques for managing it to help you reduce your risk of stress related illnesses.    

When you leave you will have a working knowledge of mindfulness, its health benefits, and how to apply it to your daily life through meditation and yoga.  

PLUS!! Enjoy a delicious and nutritious plant based lunch provided by The Pink Cactus DFW and explore the majesty of the Nature Center with access of the entire park for the whole day!  

Why is reducing stress important to my health?

Chronic long term stress, even low level micro stressors, can have a profound effect on your health and well being in a number of ways.  

The stress response is intended to be a short term response to danger, helping to preserve the likelihood of survival.  Known as the fight or flight response, this process kicks into high gear when a potential threat is perceived.
While this response is helpful in the presence of physical or environmental stressors, like bear attacks & earthquakes, it is not helpful in the presence of psychological stressors, like job deadlines or test taking.  
The exact same flood of hormones, tensing of muscles, shutting down of digestion, and shunting of blood away from non vital organs occurs whether you are replaying a fight with your spouse or running from a man eating lion.  And because few of us have much control over our thoughts and their complex circular patterns, sustained long term activation of the fight or flight response caused by psychological stressors can start to have some pretty detrimental effects on our health across multiple categories.  Some of which are listed here...
