March is officially women's month, and although every month is, this one gives us even more reason to be aware of the huge significance of being a woman, and to honor and care for this "being a woman" that we share.
And the truth is that these days, between work, family, relationships and time for ourselves - in short, between our world and the world around us - being a woman is a great adventure, very beautiful and exciting, no doubt, but also very challenging. That's why it's not surprising that more and more women feel tired and stressed, experiencing peaks of energy that contrast with moments of near exhaustion, or an unusual mixture of fatigue and anxiety, not to mention the cases in which, due to the accumulation of so many challenging situations, we feel on the verge of a nervous breakdown.
Stress you feel
We usually associate stress and anxiety with a mental state that results from too much pressure around us. But the truth is that stress often starts inside, and just like tiredness, we feel stress in our bodies. This is because stress literally circulates through our veins via a hormone called Cortisol, which acts to keep us "alert" to dangers, but which, like all hormones, needs to be regulated and in balance in order to perform its function properly.
Our hormones, as we know, fluctuate. They fluctuate by nature and it's fine as long as they don't go "haywire". They are regulated by the endocrine system, which controls such essential and important bodily functions as hunger, reproduction, digestion, emotions and even mood. This is an extremely complex and sensitive system: it responds to the environment and its fluctuations have a huge impact on our well-being and physical health, influencing metabolism, skin, hair and even sleep quality.
Hormones out of orbit
In this complex system, hormones can work in harmony, interacting with each other in the best way to achieve a state of balance in which we feel really good. But they can also shoot out all over the place, throwing us out of orbit. When this happens, we feel destabilized and disoriented, and the body starts to show signs.
Some of the most common symptoms of stress-related hormonal imbalance are chronic and unexplained fatigue (that feeling of always being tired and unable to switch off), sleep disturbances, mood fluctuations (the result of the interaction between cortisol and serotonin receptors, i.e. stress vs. happiness), mental fog and cravings that go off.
We need to be attentive. Listen to and respect your body. Understand what it's telling us and how we can act to restore balance.
