Since we know that stress is the reaction to circumstances in our lives, our brain makes a decision to trigger our hypothalamus and sends out alert to all our body organs for a fight.
First, our brain makes an analysis of the situation and when it knows that our body needs more resources that are when it triggers the natural reaction.
Imagine when your brain sees a situation which it can be handled without altering bodily function then you retain all your current psychosis.
There is no need to be alert, no need to make the heart beat faster, no need to produce more energy which can be wasted to nothing.
, For example, when you have a board exam tomorrow and you do not think that you can pass it, of course your brain will trigger your hypothalamus, but when you think otherwise, or force yourself into believing you can, you might be relieving yourself of a possible stress attack.
Given the example above, mind conditioning might help to relieve stress.
If you are stressed out because you do not have food to eat tomorrow morning and if you believe that there is a God who will use someone to provide you with food, you are also relieving yourself of stress.
Another example is when you are walking on the street and there are dogs barking, if you know that these dogs feed on your fear and will ignore you if you ignore them, your heart will not beat faster and your initial stress will be lowered.
But if you end up thinking that they will bite you, then your stress will be maximized.
In short, if you have knowledge or understanding of the situation, you are less prone to stress than anyone else.
If you have a preset of solutions to situation, your exposure to stress is very minimal.
The analysis of the situation by your brain will not prompt it to trigger your hypothalamus which in the end, there is no need for heightened bodily functions.
