Stress has a clear impact on our bodies. When we are scared or tense, our hearts race and our breathing becomes shallow. When our lives are particularly stressful, many of us experience headaches, digestive problems, insomnia, and a host of other discomforts. Some believe chronic stress can make us more prone to anxiety and depression. Duh, I’m sure you aren’t reading anything you didn’t already know.
The relevant point…. Give yourself some TLC, see your doctor as needed, know your body (give yourself a monthly breast exam) and make it a point to make yourself first once in awhile! How do you destress? For me, reading one of my favorite magazines wholeliving.com or going to a yoga class (it’s not as hard as you might think). Next to add to my list a Zumba class! Be well, Kathy
