Anchors In The Storm

We live stressful lives. At every turn, we are hard- pressed and pressured by life’s circumstances and chal- lenges. Stress has become our way of life. Stress isn’t always bad. Performing under pressure motivates us to do our best. But when we are constantly running in emergency mode, our minds and bodies pay the price. Stress-related illnesses are on the rise. Medi- cal statistics indicate that 75 percent of all doctor visits are stress related. But it’s not stress that kills us; it is our reaction to it. And our response to stress is something we can choose.
