As noted in the diagram, most people use exercise and relaxation techniques as a way to counteract the daily negative psychobiological impact on their health and wellness. However, most people do not understand that the negative impact of stress is fundamentally a product of the relationship between stressing events and an individual's personalty, perceptions, and core beliefs. Daily exercise and relaxation techniques restore only a degree of balance and complimentary functioning within our autonomic nervous system. This means that exercise and relaxation techniques continue to leave a degree of residual imbalance in autonomic nervous system functioning, This residual autonomic imbalance has a tendency to build up over time due to the fact that there are no daily changes to the degree of reinforced stress reactivity at the level of personality, perception, attitudes, and core beliefs. And as the residual autonomic imbalance continues to increase over time, the bodymind moves closer toward the crises areas of the diagram.
