Too much on your plate? Millions of Americans know how you feel.
Stress has become a “given” in our modern world, and a primary cause of physical and mental illness for millions of us. Small amounts of stress can be a good thing, keeping us alert and on task. But, unrelenting stress, weather from overbooked schedules or financial strains, too little sleep or too much bad news can lead to a break down of body, mind and spirit. When an overextended life puts you on a collision course with disaster, there are simple steps you can take to recover as sense of balance.
