Dealing with Stress

Stress manifests differently in everyone - for some it can be felt as anxiety or panic attacks, for others it's overwhelming, that urgent need to get everything done right now - this is where the love of lists is born!  And then there are the lucky few who thrive on stress and work well under pressure - please teach us your ways!

Don't get me wrong, a little bit of stress can be motivation and almost "healthy' but when we're talking stress, we're talking constant or chronic stress - this is not ideal.  In chronic states of stress we see a plethora of health conditions arise such as cardiovascular dysfunctions, diabetes, auto immunity, reduced immunity, anxiety and depression.
