People come to my office with all sorts of physical and emotional ailments. It doesn’t matter what it is, but invariably someone will ask, “What caused this?” My answer is always the same: “Life and the stress that goes with it”.
We are faced with different types of stress, from physical to mental, every day. Stress is necessary for life, learning, and development–for example, without the stress of gravity, our skeleton and muscles would quickly shrivel away. While we do need stress, we also need plenty of “non-stress time” in our lives, which unfortunately we are often lacking.
