Stress

Stress is one of the most dangerous mental states we experience in modern society.

A long time ago, humans felt stress for a short period of time when they were, for example, chased by a tiger, the fight-or-flight response. But, people of today are in a constant state of stress. We stress over time, money, jobs, children, old parents, bills, cars, news, politics and even our health.

Stress releases the hormones adrenaline and cortisol and it doesn’t matter if the stress is life threatening or just in your mind, the body will react with the same chemical solution.

Chronic stress can cause insomnia, depression, headache, stomachache, diabetes 2, heart attack, high blood pressure, overweight, fertility problems and impotence.

Whatever it takes! You have to reconstruct your life and cut out stress. 

What in your life makes you stressed? What can you do to eliminate the stress from your life? Manage one thing at a time so you don't get overwhelmed.
