My boyfriend recently broke up with me because he said he couldn’t have sex with me anymore. But recently he’s been really stressed from work. Even now after we break up, he still talks to me about his stress. We still hang out a little and he calls me everyday.

The human body has a built-in physical response to various adverse conditions. These conditions are faced with pressure, challenge or danger and the body needs to react quickly. For this, the body release hormones like cortisol and adrenaline to help doing this. These hormones play major role for the “fight or flight” response and then involve the metabolic rate, heart-rate and the blood pressure. This all result in a heightened – or stressed – state, which prepares the body for optimum performance to deal with a stressful or depressed situation.

I have to admit that after all this time I am just not clear on what yoga is. When I watch it on TV it just shows people stretching. I don’t see how it is a work out and how it makes people toned and muscular (like madonna) and how it could make you flexible and in shape. What exactly is yoga?

I often get terrible physical stagefright when doing assignments infront of class in college. I realized that always right before I present I can tell my heartrate is going through the roof to where I can barely talk and my hands shake violently.
