I’ve seen the positive effects that these tools for change have had on people’s lives. Like any powerful tool in the right hands it can repair, but in the wrong hands it can destroy, it all depends on the intention and moral judgments of the user.

Hart has made a connection between the world of anxiety and stress and understanding the connection between anxiety and the effects anxiety has on our bodies. He also emphasized the importance of being aware of our bodies. Hart (2001) first explains how our brains natural tranquilizers are depleted through a combination of stress and high adrenaline. This combination set the stage for high anxiety (p. vi). Anxiety is produced due to a lack of important brain chemical called neurotransmitters, Hart calls them “happy messengers” (p. 4). Hart (2001) explains how being stressed or over extended; our brains are deficient in these “happy messengers”. Examples of these include serotonin or noradrenalin. We also have “sad messengers” that carry somber messengers. Some examples of these include cortisol and enzymes (p. 20).

To balance these messengers we must set stress level limits and know when to disallow other to cross these limits (p.24). To restore these messengers can include temporarily taking anti-anxiety medication, and focusing on the stress in your life and discovering ways to make life changes (p. 24).
