We all experience it. Even reading the word itself can increase stress.
When you feel it, your adrenal glands go to work, producing more stress hormones to prepare your body for emergency action: fight or flight. Like running from a grizzly bear.
But normally, we aren’t running from a bear. At least, not a physical bear.
Rather, we are dealing with modern bears. Relationships, financial worries, work issues, time constraints, and more.

In a recent study of 1,200 elderly people, the participants were asked what their biggest regret was in life. Many stated, “I wish I hadn’t worried so much.”
