Life is about changes, progression, setbacks and growth. One of my favorite things to say is that a setback is just a set up for a comeback.

(Marieb, Smith, 2016) Fight or flight responses work with the nervous system to maintain a state of homeostasis within the body. Homeostasis is the tendency toward a relatively stable equilibrium between interdependent elements, especially as maintained by physiological processes.
