The Brain Drain

One truth that's really hard to face is that our world is in a very dark place. Most people know it, one doesn't need to be sensitive nor even a poet. Unless we're living like a mole, external stressors take their toll. Mental health conditions are on the rise, four Americans out of five.. All modern cultures across our globe suffer these same stressors I've been told. The human brain needs a sense of control to keep external stressors from taking their toll. A constant release of cortisone will weaken these bodies that we own. If our stress hormones are constantly released our minds and our bodies become diseased. When a body is battling constant pain in time it actually shrinks the brain. It becomes the brain that never shuts up until the immune systems had enough. If we meditate, eat right and exercise, our brains will help us live long and healthy lives..

I really enjoyed this. I like that you could change the last lines and insert what happens if you don't control the stress. Very fluid read.

Thanks Hannah. My source came from a work shop I took for continuing ed. credit last week called Calming the active brain. It was really fascinating stuff. I appreciate your feedback. Have a great day.
