WHY DO I GET ILL WHEN I STOP WORK?
You’ve been so looking forward to a week off over Christmas but as soon as you stop work you start to feel a bit ropey and before you know it you’ve got a full-on snotty nose and can’t taste your Christmas treats!
SO WHY DOES THIS HAPPEN WHEN WE STOP WORK?
There are a number of reasons, the most common is that when we are working hard our stress hormones (mostly adrenalin) is fueling our body as it/we knows we must keep on going for that deadline, project, exam…. whatever it is, we keep at it, then, when we stop it all goes a little haywire and as said above we can become ill.
So, before that point, it’s important to boost your immune system and wind down gently and find time in your stressful periods of work/life to find some moments of calm so that when you do stop, its not a shock to you your system.
Here is one diffuser blend to boost your immune system and one to encourage you to wind down after a busy day, so that you can relax and sleep well.
