Stress is so abundant in our everyday lives that there’s a good chance you don’t even realize just how stressed out you actually are. If you are willing to stop and listen, you can hear warning signs from your body to make a change and find calmness and peace. If you are constantly stressed out, your immune system isn’t going to be prepared to fight off viruses and bacteria, making you more prone to illness and disease. Thankfully, we have the power to take control of our stress levels, whether that means leaving a stressful situation or incorporating more mindfulness practices into our daily lives.
