Small habits can make big and lasting effects on your health. Stress is a part of life, but the effects of stress on your health don’t have to be devastating if you take control.

It is almost impossible to define ‘Emotional Stress’, but we need some way to know when we are under emotional and psychological stress or we won’t have any tools to handle this stress and its effects on our health.

Anything you put into your body through food, drinks, prescriptions etc. is an internal environmental stress. You have MUCH MORE CONTROL over internal environmental stress and the effects they have on your health than you do over external environmental stress.

What we need to focus on right now is what realistic and immediate choices you can make to help decrease or eliminate some of the external environmental stress and the effects of stress on your life.

There are things we can do to minimize the stress in our lives and there are also many things we can do to manage the stress that is a part of life no matter what.
