Stress is like an arsonist with matches in one hand and a petrol can in the other. I guess the thing to realise is that stress is not what happens to us - but rather how we react to what happens. The amount of stress we feel is based on our perception of an event, a person or a place.
In a study of 165 patients undergoing angiograms at Yale University, individuals who felt loved and supported had less coronary artery disease.
Another set of statistics I read: children laugh an average of 400 times a day. Adults only 15. Somewhere on the way to adulthood, we lose the ability to laugh 385 times a day. Thetake-away here: I find something that make me laugh - a lot.
