WHAT IS STRESS?

Stress is a normal reaction the body has when changes occur, resulting in physical, emotional and intellectual responses. Stress is a normal human reaction that happens to everyone. In fact, the human body is designed to experience stress and react to it. Stress responses help your body adjust to new situations. Stress can be positive, keeping us alert, motivated and ready to avoid danger. But stress becomes a problem when stressors continue without relief or periods of relaxation.

WHAT HAPPENS TO THE BODY DURING STRESS?

The body’s autonomic nervous system controls your heart rate, breathing, vision changes and more. Its built-in stress response, the “fight-or-flight response,” helps the body face stressful situations. When a person has long-term (chronic) stress, continued activation of the stress response causes wear and tear on the body. Physical, emotional and behavioral symptoms develop.

PHYSICAL SYMPTOMS

• Aches and pains

• Chest pain or a feeling like your heart is racing

• Exhaustion or trouble sleeping

• Headaches, dizziness or shaking

• Stomach or digestive problems

• Weak immune system

EMOTIONAL AND MENTAL SYMPTOMS

• Anxiety or irritability

• Depression

• Panic attacks

• Sadness

WHAT ARE SOME STRATEGIES FOR STRESS RELIEF?

You can’t avoid stress, but you can stop it from becoming overwhelming by practicing some daily strategies:

1. Exercise when you feel symptoms of stress coming on. Even a short walk can boost your mood.

2. At the end of each day, take a moment to think about what you’ve accomplished — not what you didn’t get done.

3. Set goals for your day, week and month. Narrowing your view will help you feel more in control of the moment and long-term tasks.

4. Consider talking to a therapist or your healthcare provider about your worries.

HOW LONG DOES STRESS LAST?

Stress can be a short-term issue or a long-term problem, depending on what changes in your life. Regularly using stress management techniques can help you avoid most physical, emotional and behavioral symptoms of stress.

FUNDRAISING FOR THE GROYNE FIELD IN ST FRANCIS BAY CRESTS R100M

FUNDRAISING FOR THE GROYNE FIELD IN ST FRANCIS BAY CRESTS R100M

Thanks to the unwavering support of our community, we are on the brink of realizing the 'Long Term Coastal Protection Solution' project in St. Francis Bay. This significant initiative, aimed at restoring the River, Spit, and Beach areas, has now surpassed R100 M in funding, a testament to our collective effort and commitment.

Phases 1 and 2 of the Groyne field project, with an estimated cost of R110M, are poised to commence construction shortly. While we have made significant strides with the SRA levy, donations, and loans from our local homeowners and residents, we still need your help. Your contributions are crucial for the ultimate success of this project. We urge you to assist in securing extra funding beyond the SRA levy, ensuring the restoration of our beloved St. Francis Bay beaches to their former glory.

As Chairman of the St. Francis Property Owners Association and SFPO NPC, Wayne Furphy underscores the community-driven nature of this endeavour. He calls upon each property owner to take the initiative, emphasizing proactive outreach rather than waiting to be contacted. With all the required resources at our disposal, your collaborative efforts are essential to achieving our shared objective.
