Why Pressure Follows You Home And What It Does To Your Body | Gillian Muessig

I love what you said about pressure being personal because we always talk about the business landscape and professional. Pressure is pressure. You hold it in your nervous system, in your body, in the way you show up. It affects everything. You might bring it from home to work, bring it from work to home. It doesn't stop existing.

Oh, it does. You know, there are parables about the man who, I don't know, has a terrible day and his car breaks down, this and that. And some guy gives him a lift. And it's about wiping the hands on the leaves of a tree or a bush before he walks inside because he leaves his day behind. Those are the kinds of parables we talk about and so on. But these are real. I just read this morning that most of the autoimmune diseases are affecting women. And the physician, a fellow, was explaining why. He said because in the society at large, all over the world, the women are taught to carry everybody else's stress, and stress leads directly to those autoimmune responses.
