How do we manage stress levels ?

We live in a busy, active culture that never slows down.  Taking time away from daily life and balancing the demands placed on us is almost impossible, but that is exactly what is needed to manage our stress levels. Stress can negatively impact our ability to function at home, work, and in relationships with family & friends. Studies show that elevated stress levels over time can negatively impact our bodies, both physically and mentally causing problems such as; insomnia, cardiovascular disease, chronic inflammation, immune related illnesses, weight fluctuations, depression, and anxiety.
