Stress creates havoc with our health and it is worth our while to examine our stress levels every two or three months. Stress can be difficult to understand. Sometimes we don’t even know we are under stress even when it affects our heart and mental health. The habits and signs that can alert us to problems may be hard to recognize because they have become so familiar.
