We have thousand different diagnoses. It is all stress. If you put enough stress, the weakest link breaks” Dr. Ben Johnson

“It’s not the load that breaks you down, it’s the way you carry it.” Lou Holtz

The pace of modern life is accelerating, and stress levels are rising to unprecedented levels.  You feel little or no stress when you have the time, experience and resources to deal with a situation. When you perceive that the demands exceed resources, you are likely to experience stress. It is not an inevitable consequence of an event or a situation; it depends upon perception and the ability to cope with the resultant stress.  The common strategy of taking a break appears to work well till you get back to work and confront the same (or similar) situation, often with a bigger pile of ‘things to do’.

Stress is the ‘mind-body response’ to a perceived threat and releases stress hormones to prepare you for fight-or-flight. Such response is critical for survival in the face of physical danger but quite inappropriate when you are dealing with the stressors of modern life. Unmanaged (chronic) stress undermines all aspects of your life - physical, vital, emotional and mental wellbeing. Recent research reveals that chronic stress damages the epigenetic layer of genes that not only accelerates the aging process but could also be passed on to the future generations.
