Stress, Distress and De-stress

The result of intemperance (lack of balance) in life is stress and distress. The tight relationship between the body and the mind means that any upset to the mind affects the body negatively. Likewise, any stress on the body affects the mind negatively.

Not all stress is bad. Distress is bad. Some stressors are positive provided we learn to manage them (e.g. the unease of preparing for a test or examination inspires a serious individual to prepare and pass the stress of examination).

Invest in this de-stress programme: Conquering stress.

Some of us respond to stress by developing unhealthy habits. Do you smoke? Kick the smoking habit; Quit Smoking Right Now
