Why You Need to Control Stress

We all know that uncontrolled stress can be the cause of numerous health ailments. Sometimes, it's obvious while other times it's not. Uncontrolled stress is the level where you feel your life is out of control. Some amounts of stress are needed. For instance, sometimes the added adrenalin gets things going. I know, for myself, that having time deadlines is stimulating and helps me stay on track. To some, the added stress of time deadlines may be too much. For me, it's welcomed. Everyone is different...For you, it may be something else.

Uncontrolled stress may result in:

Poor time management skills
Disorganization
Hair loss
Sleep deprivation
Poor nutrient absorption
High blood pressure
Increased heart rate
Muscle tightness
Mental instability
Excessive nervous energy
Overeating (if you use food as a comfort mechanism)
Skin disorders
Headaches

On and on....

Stress management is essential. And...it's not that difficult.
