You know that feeling when there is three or more things happening at one in your life, it is so over bearing, I’ve been there a few times on my journey and at times I felt stuck. Allostatic load is when you have numerous of stressful events happening at the same time, or near each other, where you didn’t get enough time to process the last event. Furthermore, you may even be dealing with something that you been avoiding.
As we have different sensitivity levels, some of us may not be affected by stressful events that may have affected others. It is all relative, and thats ok. The good thing is we can learn how to adapt to life stressors, even though we may not always be strong enough to deal with more than one, we know that we can bounce back from the strongest of external forces over time. Everything needs time to process and heal, try not to rush this
I want to share some of the things that helped me when I was going through allostatic load; stop and think, deal with one event at a time, is there someone in your circle that can assist, don’t bottle it up, express to others what you are going through, try and get some quality time to process your events, be patient with your self, and send yourself love, and know you are more powerful than the stressors. Continue to build your emotional wellness skills, this will allow you to successfully adapt to life stressors and sudden change. It will make you more active in your approach to the stressors and ease the pressure off of you. The information load to the brain can take you off balance, even to the best of us, however by using your will power and faith you know you can overcome it all.
