Your body knows the difference between good stress and bad stress: Do you?

Sharon Theimer Mayo Clinic News Network LONDON — It may be surprising to hear, but medically speaking, not all stress is bad. Healthy stress levels help build resilience, says Safia Debar, MBBS, a stress management expert at Mayo Clinic Healthcare in London. In this expert alert, Dr. Debar explains the difference between good and bad stress and how to tell when you are in danger of overload.

Stress is a physical and psychological reaction to a demand, and that demand can be anything, Dr. Debar says. Stress that is good for us and may even give us a sense of well-being is eustress, the opposite of distress. The same event—for example, getting married—might provoke either one, Dr.

Debar says.

“It’s about the perception of that stress and how your body is actually handling it,” Dr. Debar says. “Chronic stress will impact every organ system in the body: You might feel anxiety, depression and digestive issues, for example.”

Stress prompts a cascade of reactions within the mind and body as you mount a stress response, Dr. Debar says.

Under normal stress, a person starts at a baseline of relaxation, encounters a stressor, the stress response begins, rises to a peak, and then comes back down to baseline.

Among the physical changes that may occur when you perceive a threat: -- The sympathetic nervous system and production of the primary stress hormone, cortisol, activate.

-- Thinking becomes negative as you experience or anticipate something bad. Attention becomes hyperfocused on what is happening.

Kansas loss showed areas of weakness for Sooners Calif Poncy Staff Reporter

It took more than two decades.

After 26 years, the Oklahoma Sooners were forced to make the long drive home from Lawrence, Kansas, after a loss.

The Sooners were left shocked after the 38-33 upset loss, and to boot, it came just a week before the last edition of Bedlam for the foreseeable future.

“I thought our guys played with effort, I don’t think we always played real smart,” OU coach Brett Venables said.

OU’s loss to Kansas can be chalked up to one big thing.

Turnovers.

The Sooners gave the ball away three times, with quarterback Dillon Gabriel tossing one interception, and two other Sooners fumbling.

Although OU’s College Football Playoff hopes took a hit, the Sooners are still very much in the mix for a Big 12 title. Despite the Sooners controlling their own destiny within the conference, a few red flags were raised by OU’s performance against KU. OU’s offensive backfield has dealt with injuries and suspensions all season, and now that the dust has settled, walkon running back Tawee Walker has taken the reins. Walker has been impressive when he has had the opportunity, but with an injury keeping running back Marcus Major on the sideline, Walker now has the job, no questions asked.

“I just listened to my coach and did what I had to do,” Walker said to Eli Lederman of Sellout Crowd. “I ran hard and got it done on the ground today.”

Walker suffered an injury of his own against Kansas, dinging his ankle early before returning to the game later.

Along with a concern with its backfield depth, OU has also struggled to stop the run.

Against KU, the Sooners allowed 225 rushing yards, a number that could come into focus this week as they prepare for Oklahoma State’s rising superstar tailback Ollie Gordon.

Gordon has surpassed 250 yards on the ground the past two games, and if the Sooners bring the same effort they did against the Jayhawks, he could make it three.

Overall, the Sooners’ issues are correctable, but if OU repeats its performance from last weekend against OSU, it could leave Stillwater as frustrated as it left Lawrence. sports.ed@ocolly.com

Stailee Heard dominant in Cowgirls’ exhibition win Kenzie Kraich Staff Reporter Just 30 seconds after tipoff, following a turnover from Oklahoma Christian, Anna Gret Asi picked up a steal and pitched the ball ahead to a sprinting Stailee Heard for an uncontested transition layup for the Cowgirls’ first bucket of the season.

Heard quickly established an identity for herself against OCU in the Cowgirls’ 101-50 win Tuesday night. Heard finished the game with 26 points, nine rebounds and three steals.

The freshman guard from Sapulpa proved to be a versatile player for OSU as she found herself playing the center position on both sides of the ball.

Standing 5-foot-11, Heard is the fifth-tallest player on OSU’s roster, but she held her own in the post both offensively and defensively.

“She loves to compete, and she’s bought into our team and what we need her to do,” OSU coach Jacie Hoyt said.

“She could guard one through five.”

While Heard may not have led the team in any statistics Tuesday night, she did provide opportunities for her teammates to flourish, even if she didn’t touch the ball.

news Stress...

Continued from 1 -- The heart, lungs and muscles prepare for you to fight or run. There is increased heart rate, blood pressure and breathing rate as the body needs to deliver more oxygen to cells.

Muscles tense.

-- The digestive and reproductive systems aren’t needed, so their activities slow.

-- The immune system turns its attention from fighting microscopic invaders such as viruses or cancer cells and goes into an inflammatory mode, increasing its production of proteins called cytokines that adjust this process.

When someone realizes the threat has passed, the body begins to repair itself from this response and “tidy up”. It shifts to a repair, renew and growth state as the stress response is mopped up. Physically, breathing and heart rate slow down, blood pressure normalizes, you take more expansive breaths, muscular tension eases, the digestive and reproductive systems resume normal activity, and you may begin to connect with others to recount the threat you just experienced, Dr. Debar says.

“If you go up in stress and then come back down, you have completed our cycle.

There’s no wear and tear, there’s no damage,” Dr. Debar says. “In fact, it’s probably good for you because it leads to greater resilience. If you’ve ever overcome a stressful event in life, processed it fully and completed that cycle, then the next similar experience you have, you think, `Oh no, but I can do it.’”

However, when someone is repeatedly under too much stress, the ability to go back to baseline slowly starts to wane, Dr. Debar says.

“You can go up in stress and stay there, having a prolonged response. This is when you’re hypervigilant: You’re

wired but tired, you’re anxious,” Dr. Debar says. “Or, life has thrown at you so many stressors, that you respond inadequately. It is the lack of recovery rather than the actual stressor itself that is critical.

After a while, you may just numb out and show no response.”

Sometimes people think it would be good to show no response, Dr. Debar adds, but

internally the stress response and its cascade of internal activities are still happening.

They are just hidden.

There are several signs that you may be in danger of stress overload and it is time to address it, Dr. Debar says: -- If stress feels unremitting and constant.

-- If stress feels uncontrollable and you’re unable to relax or feel like you’re on

autopilot.

-- If you have problems regulating emotions.

-- If you start hiding from life and/or people.

-- You’re experiencing physical symptoms such as headaches, chest pain, stomach upsets, problems sleeping, or getting sick more often.

“Think about how your body handles stress, and how you handle it emotionally,

TRUST THE LORD! (Part #2) “In repentance and rest is your salvation, in quietness and trust is your strength, but you would have none of it.” (Is.30:15 NIV) This is what God was saying to his people, but their reaction was to reject his counsel, then struggle and try to work out their troubles in their own way.

God was telling them to turn to him (repentance), stop your fretting, quiet yourselves and look to me; trust me! Let God be the objective of your faith. God never gets tired, but he strengthens the tired and weary. (Is.40:28-29) It is so easy to go the way of his ancient people; trying to work things out ourselves.

When we talk of quieting ourselves; this is not passiveness or inactivity, but a turning in our thoughts to the one who has promised so much to those who will trust him. Look at Ps.123:2, “As the eyes of slaves look to the hand of their

physically and in your relationships,” Dr. Debar says. “What do you do, what do you not do.”

Chronic stress can have long-term health effects. People who feel ongoing physical symptoms or find that lifestyle changes do not seem to help should consult with their health care team, Dr. Debar says. news.ed@ocolly.com

master...so our eyes look to the Lord our God, till he shows us his mercy.” How about Ps.131:1-2 “...I do not concern myself with great matters or things too wonderful for me. But I have stilled and quieted my soul like a weaned child with its mother.” Our activity is turning and quieting ourselves before the one who is truly our helper.

Returning to Is. 30; verse 18: Here is God’s attitude toward us; “Yet the Lord longs to be gracious to you; he rises to show you compassion.” Isaiah finishes by saying; “Blessed are all who wait for him!” God is good toward us because of Christ. He wants to take action, so He says stop! (seems contrary) Spent some time with him and trust him in the challenges of life. He will lead and work his way!

Trust him; you will not be ashamed!
