Stress is a natural physical and mental reaction to life experiences. Everyone has felt it in some point in their lives. Especially these days, it’s almost inevitable. Stress has become ingrained in our culture. We associate it with hard work and success, assuming that we can’t have one without the other. Though some stress is necessary, we often bite off more than we can chew. We fail to realize that the more stressed we are, the less efficient we are. And we often choose to ignore the negative effects stress has on our bodies.  But, how successful are you, if you are so stressed out that you can’t enjoy your life? Excessive stress can lead to a multitude of symptoms, including adrenal fatigue, exhaustion, anxiety, sleep disturbance and hormone imbalances.
