Damage of Stress

"Handling stress badly can result in ripple effects on your health." Dr. Sanjay Gupta

We all have stress in our lives, but we each handle stress differently.  Also, there are periods in our lives where we are encountering much more stress.  High stress events include marriage, divorce, death, job promotion, job termination, and caregiving --- to name just a few.  Stress can trigger brain changes that cause us to think less clearly and have memory lapses.  If I forget where I put my car keys, I know I am experiencing too much stress.  Some ways to handle the stress we do have in our lives is by exercise, prayer or meditation, talking to a trust person who can help give us insight, and watching a movie which is lighthearted.
