It\u2019s Monday morning. You overslept, your kids were late for school, and your boss gave you a hard time because you came in 30 minutes after your shift began. At lunchtime, you head to a nearby deli, and it\u2019s incredibly busy. After waiting in line for 15 minutes and placing your order, you realize that you left your wallet at the office. You head back to work hungry, sit down at your desk, your mind starts racing a million miles a second, and you can\u2019t think clearly.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The chaotic start to your week has made you incredibly stressed, and the\u00a0<\/span>anxiety<\/span><\/a>\u00a0is palpable. At this point, you\u2019re simply not able to produce at your full potential. You try to clear your mind, but you\u2019re struggling to calm yourself down \u2014 which exacerbates the issue.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

At some point or another, we\u2019ve all found ourselves in these kinds of stressful situations. If you\u2019re like most people, you probably haven\u2019t given much thought to stress other than the fact that it\u2019s an inevitable part of life. What you might not know is that stress has a profound impact on the body, and those who underestimate or ignore stress do so at their own risk.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
