(established under the Accountant Act, Laws of Kenya)
9th Evening Talk
Theme: Managing Stress – Is Stress Good for You?
Date: 6th November 2019
Venue: Hilton Hotel, Nairobi
Time: 5.30pm – 7.30pm
1.0 Overview
Stress affects everyone in different ways. However, Is Stress Good for You? Disparaged as dangerous, healthy stress levels can push you to peak performance. Too much of it, though, strains your heart, robs you of mental clarity and even increases your risk of chronic disease. … It’s what comes next that divides healthy stress from harmful stress.
Stress can help you accomplish tasks more efficiently. It can even boost your memory. Stress is also a vital warning system, producing the fight-or-flight response. When the brain perceives stress, it starts flooding the body with chemicals like epinephrine, norepinephrine and cortisol. This creates a variety of reactions such as an increase in blood pressure and heart rate. Plus, the senses suddenly have a laser-like focus so you can avoid physically stressful situations — such as jumping away from a moving car — and be safe.
Sometimes, being stressed-out motivates us to focus on our priorities, yet at other times, we feel incredibly overwhelmed and can’t concentrate on anything.
As 2019 draws to a close, come let us take stock and set ourselves up to thrive in 2020 and beyond!
