HE calls it General adaption syndrome. His investigations led him to conclude that General Adaption Syndrome is like an alarm clock that won't shut off until the battery dies. Our body will continue to suffer until we run out of energy to cope with stress. General Adaption Syndrome has 3 stages: alarm, resistance, and exhaustion. ]]> 2017-09-06 21:43:09 UTC https://padlet.com/nfletcher0104/3n1y1l9eznzw/wish/185325347 nfletcher0104 https://padlet.com/nfletcher0104/3n1y1l9eznzw/wish/185327795 This is our bodies first response to stress. Here we find the fight or flight response. Your heart rate increases, and you often become sweaty as your body prepares to deal with a stressor by either fighting it, or fleeing. ]]> 2017-09-06 22:03:45 UTC https://padlet.com/nfletcher0104/3n1y1l9eznzw/wish/185327795 nfletcher0104 https://padlet.com/nfletcher0104/3n1y1l9eznzw/wish/185328371 Next after the alarm stage is the resistance stage. During this stage the body will try to maintain homeostasis. It will restore spent energy and try to repair damages. During this stage it is common to be irritable, or angry. ]]> 2017-09-06 22:09:20 UTC https://padlet.com/nfletcher0104/3n1y1l9eznzw/wish/185328371 nfletcher0104 https://padlet.com/nfletcher0104/3n1y1l9eznzw/wish/185328733 If a stressor persists the body will eventually run out of gas. heart rate and breathing slow in an attempt to conserve resources. With continued exposure, the body's resources will become so depleted that the body will develop what is called "disease of adaption". A person can quickly become exhausted and slowly lose function of major organs as the body attempts to maintain homeostasis.]]> 2017-09-06 22:12:37 UTC https://padlet.com/nfletcher0104/3n1y1l9eznzw/wish/185328733 nfletcher0104 https://padlet.com/nfletcher0104/3n1y1l9eznzw/wish/185330033 When i have a mountain of homework, at first its an alarm that i need to finish the work before the consequences settle in. Then it's on to resistance. I begin to make a list and get to work on whatever needs to be done. I often don't make it to exhaustion, but sometimes it happens. At which point i walk away from my homework for a while and come back to it once my mind is relatively clear again]]> 2017-09-06 22:24:37 UTC https://padlet.com/nfletcher0104/3n1y1l9eznzw/wish/185330033
