Eagle and the Andean Condor have the longest life spans amongst all contemporary bird species on Earth. Eagle (we must take one of them) can live up to 70 years. However, in order to achieve such a long life, he (let’s assume that our eagle is a male) must make some very difficult and challenging decisions. When he reaches the age of 40, his long and elastic clasps are no longer effective when hunting, grabbing and holding onto his prey. His powerful and deadly beak has grown so much that it now tapers downwards and prevents him to feed correctly. His old and heavy wings are full of tightly knit feathers of which most no longer serve their purpose, thus preventing him to fly higher and faster and due to their enlarged sizes, they don’t fold back correctly and are causing him unnecessary discomfort when resting.

Most medical practitioners believe that relaxation is the key component in the treatment of many disorders, particularly those brought on or made worse by the stress. Their reasoning is based on what is known about the effects of stress on the body. In brief, the stressful events produce strong emotions, which arouse certain physical responses controlled by the sympathetic nervous system and the network of nerve tissues that help prepare the body to meet emergencies by “flight or fight”. Since this is a primal neurological brain wiring, our bodies still do exactly what they did since the moment of our creation. However, things have changed in the last hundred years or so and that has instilled the phenomenon, which we plainly know as “stress”.

There are many definitions of “comfort zone” and my favourite is that it represents your living, work and social environments to which you have become so used to, that you simply refuse to expand it beyond its present boundaries. It is so omnipotent that it determines the type of people you are attracted to and with whom you prefer to build relationships with.

The pace of modern life with its ever-increasing technological advances presents a number of people with rising dilemma about how they will successfully cope with it in the future. It is a well documented fact that most of us are already overstressed and surprisingly, we accept it as part of our everyday lives. But, do we really need to do that? Is that the right way forward? Humans are not biologically designed, nor wired to cope successfully with such intensive lifestyles and mental stresses. Our biological make-up certainly cannot accept it. So, why do we let it go unchallenged?
