In his book "Who's Responsible," Dr. Ahmed Abu Aisha explains the dangers of living under stress. Here's a story and an example to illustrate the matter: A person is sitting on his favorite couch at home, watching TV and drinking tea. However, at the same time, his conscious mind, which is responsible for thinking, is preoccupied with what happened today at work: a shortage of money, a fight with a colleague, or a mistake at work. Here, the subconscious mind acts based on what is inside the conscious mind and obeys it. It orders the glands to secrete the hormone cortisol to give the muscles a higher concentration to resist the person he fought with when he sees him the next day. Or to focus on how to hide from the mistake that happened at work. What will his manager say when he sees him? Or how will he solve the problem of a lack of money? And how will he manage his affairs and future obligations? Thus, the body becomes filled with stress hormones, but in reality, there is nothing real in the external environment to exploit those hormones and that muscle spasm. Here, there is an imbalance and a mismatch between the body and the reality of its current situation, and the mind and its orders to the body to fight, hide and flee. If the situation is repeated daily, and over the course of years, the situation will become stored in the implicit memory. Thus, the subconscious mind begins to secrete stress hormones automatically whenever that person sits on his favorite couch, starts watching TV, and drinks tea. The conscious mind begins to think about the problems that occurred today, and perhaps no problem occurred, but due to the presence of hormones in the body, it will begin to remember the problems that occurred in the past. For the mind to balance with the body in the situation, but in this case the body is the one that controls the mind, and not the mind that controls the body, and thus the person is imprinted with the stress hormones that he lives with every day, every week, month, and year, and that person’s personality will always be tense, and he does not know why, and if you ask him: Are you tense? He will answer: I am the last one to be tense, because I am satisfied, praise be to God, and I thank God for everything
