Stress in our lives

Life will always have its series of ups and downs. Being busy, always on the go, rushing, feeling that we are burning the candle at both ends.

We ask ourselves, can we ever slow down? How can we really get the point of appreciating the everyday blessings?

Stress is an inevitable part of life . It is the way a person physically and emotionally responds to changes. It can be the motivating and productive force of a person. Burning the candle at both ends, or continual stress, however, can be detrimental and destructive to one's health.

A common complaint by many is that they feel consumed with rushing and being hurried all the time.

We forget what it is to relax, slow down and truly enjoy the beautty and simplicity of the present moment.

Often, we are preparing so much for tomorrow, we realize, that the most important part of life, today, is often missed!

So much of our own stress is self induced.
