Stress is the inability to cope with life on life’s terms. We all have stress in our lives, but it is how we handle the stress which makes it a positive or negative experience.

Unfortunately most people are not effectively dealing with stress.

The dilemmas of pain, suffering and unhappiness we have in our lives are usually the poor result of choices made while under the influence of overwhelming stress. We become less engaged in healthy productive living. Our thinking and behavior progressively degenerate in quality from constructive to destructive, from creative to self-sabotaging. We lose our sense of motivation, curiosity, and enthusiasm; we feel confusion, fatigue, sadness, depression, hopelessness or anxiety.
