Modern life is totally stressful!  Stress serves a purpose: to induce a fight/flight reaction when we are threatened. This was important for survival when we lived in the woods and could easily be killed by wild animals, but today, almost everything triggers this stress reaction: traffic, work, school, the daily headlines, our loved ones, you name it! What we need to do is learn how to manage the stress reaction by learning how it gets triggered and how to counteract it.

We can gain perspective and learn techniques for combating stress. Please see:
