Live with less stress and more desire

Stress attacks our defenses, deteriorates our health and practically disappears our sexual desire. This situation should turn on all our alarms, let's start by analyzing what we can do to take care of our sexual desire.

Did you know that your body reacts to stress by releasing hormones? These hormones make your brain alert to danger, cause your muscles to tense and your heart rate to increase. These reactions are very useful for specific moments when we are actually in danger, as a protection mechanism if we need to respond quickly, but imagine constantly subjecting your body to these types of situations.

This is how Chronic Stress appears in our lives , going unnoticed, but taking everything in its path and presenting many physical and emotional symptoms. It is at that moment when stress stops benefiting us, being the triggering factor for many diseases, because our body remains on alert -even when there is no danger- and over time diseases such as:

• High blood pressure
• Heart failure
• Diabetes
• Obesity
• depression or anxiety
• Skin problems, such as acne or eczema
• menstrual problems

Chronic stress also generates other less noticeable symptoms. Among the most common are:

• Diarrhea or constipation
• Bad memory
• Frequent aches and pains
• Headaches
• Lack of energy or concentration
• Sexual problems (including: low libido and interest in sexuality)
• Neck or jaw pain
• Fatigue
• Trouble sleeping or sleeping too much
• upset stomach
• Using alcohol or drugs to relax
• Weight loss or gain
• Mood swings that can range from sadness to anger or irritability.

What causes stress in our lives?

Many can be the causes of stress, but there are some recurring situations that have to do with the relationships we develop throughout our lives, which can become complicated and affect our daily life and even our sexuality, such as:

• marry or divorce
• The death of a spouse or close family member
• Having a baby or not being able to conceive
• Problems at home or with the family
• Problems at work or starting a new job
• Layoff / Retirement
• Money problems
• Moving
• have a serious illness

Stress and its effect on female sexuality

Under a situation of chronic stress, you feel more tired, tense, worried and even low spirits. This may mean that you lose the desire to maintain intimate relationships, or that this aspect of your life is simply last among the priorities.

You should pay attention because the hormonal changes that result as an effect of stress can trigger the following problems in your sexuality:

• Lack of lubrication (leading to painful or irritating intercourse)
• Decreased libido (lack of sexual appetite)
• Difficulty reaching orgasm
• Alterations in the menstrual cycle

These are other of the most common consequences that occur in women when they live under stressful situations for a long time:

• Headaches and headaches (especially just before menstruation)
• Loss of hair
• Heartburn
• Nausea
• panic attack
• repetitive urination
• Muscle pains
• chest pain
• Insomnia
• chronic fatigue
• Constipation
• Skin problems (eczema, lack of light, increased sweating and excessive hair).

What to do if stress is ruining your sex life?

Having low sexual desire is a difficult situation for any couple. It can even cause conflict if the other person feels rejected. But it's worth remembering that changes in sexual desire are normal in all relationships and at all stages of life. That is why we recommend you take into account these recommendations to reduce stress and balance your sexuality, to get past difficult situations in life:

Acknowledge it and say STOP

What causes you stress? If you recognize the signs of the arrival of stress in your life, it is easy to become aware, attack and stop it. Identify those triggering situations of stress in you. They can be family, studies, work, relationships, money or health problems. Once you understand where your stress is coming from, you can come up with ways to deal with it.

How does stress manifest itself in your body? There are some physical signals that your body sends you when you feel stressed. Like the feeling of anger, irritability, insomnia, headaches or upset stomach. Pay attention and listen to it! What are the signs in your case? How does stress manifest itself in you? If you already have the answer then start working to manage it. It is valid to ask for help to learn to recognize it and to learn some techniques to solve it.

Manage stress in your life

There are many ways to manage stress. Try the one that works best for you. Here we share some options:

• Accept what you cannot change. By doing so you can let them go and not get upset.
• Avoid stressful situations. Whenever possible, move away from the source of the stress. For example, if your family argues on holidays, give yourself a break and go for a walk or drive.
• Do exercise. When you exercise, your brain releases chemicals that make you feel good. It can also help you with your pent up energy or frustration. Find something you enjoy, whether it's walking, biking, playing softball, swimming, or dancing, and do it for at least 30 minutes most days.
• Be more positive in the face of challenges. Change your perspective . You can do this by replacing negative thoughts with more positive thoughts. It may seem difficult at first, but you might find that this helps you turn around the way you approach life.
• Give yourself a chance to make yourself like it. Especially when stress hits and you feel down. It can be something as simple as reading a good book, listening to music, watching your favorite movie, or going out to dinner with a friend. Try to do at least one thing a day that is just for you.
• Relax as you prefer. Look for an option to deal with the stress of the day, stop to take a deep breath, slow your heart rate, and lower your blood pressure. You can try everything from breathing, meditation, to yoga and tai chi. Or if it's not your thing, just give yourself a few minutes in silence without a phone or screens, to look out the window without a plan beyond contemplation.
• Talk to your loved ones. Don't let stress ruin your social life. Talking with family and friends can help you feel better. You can also confide your problems to a friend as a way to help you see the matter from another perspective and solve it better.
• Sleep well. Getting enough rest can help you think more clearly and have more energy to handle problems. Make sure you sleep between 7 and 9 hours every night.
• Eat a balanced diet. Eating healthy foods will give you the energy your body and mind need to overcome stress. Avoid sugar and eat plenty of vegetables, fruits, whole grains, low-fat or fat-free dairy, and lean protein.
• Plan yourself. Make a priority list, set limits, and keep in mind that it's okay to say no sometimes so you don't get bogged down with tasks that later stress and frustrate you. Also, you can ask for help when you need it.
• On those stressful days, help ease the tension by doing some extraordinary activity that distracts you and relaxes you. Some options may be:
  

• Eat at your favorite restaurant.
• Take a long walk.
• Sleep a bit more.
• Greet your partner with a kiss before you leave.
• Call that special person with whom you like to talk.

Acquire new habits in your intimate life:

• Set aside time for intimacy
• Do some new activity with your partner
• Add attractiveness to your sex life. By innovating in your sexuality, you open up curiosity and revive the interest that is being lost with routine.
• Train your mind to think more about sex. You can imagine those ideal situations, read erotic-romantic literature, watch some movies or series of that genre, that make you think about your sexuality and revive desire.
• To address the lack of lubrication, use a quality intimate gel such as Zenzsual, which you can get in our online store HERE . Which has high concentrations of hyaluronic acid, which facilitates the hydration and regeneration of tissues that are losing their tone and their natural pink color.
