Stress is everywhere and no one is immune to it. In fact, a certain level of stress is necessary for life. The problem comes when our stress gets the upper hand and instead of managing it we are manipulated by it. All of us have experienced that feeling of being out of control, stressed out. When life is out of balance, stress is the result. When our reality does not line up with our expectations, stress is the result. When our beliefs do not align with our behavior, stress is the result.
Life happens, and when it does, change is the result…and change is stressful. Even positive change. We’re all dealing with change and stress at one level or another. When stress is not dealt with appropriately, it can lead to much bigger issues and problems. Stress affects us spiritually, physically, emotionally, relationally, psychologically, and in just about every way imaginable. Job stress is the number one culprit for personal discomfort. The American Medical Association estimates that between 75% and 90% of all hospital/doctor visits can be traced to stress-related problems. Today, stress is an epidemic and a direct precursor to worry, anxiety, and depression.
