When I was younger I admit I didn't really see the point of that. It seemed like a joke to me. Now that I have detrimental physical responses to stress I GET IT in ways I never imagined. My own mother died on May 2nd of this year, and it was a massive stroke with a string of heart attacks that killed her. She had removed herself from stressors some years earlier because her doctor told her stress would literally kill her. I laughed about it... Not to her but to myself and in discussions with my husband. Now I know what she meant and why. A lot of ambitious Americans like I once was seem to feel invincible and invite stress. Employment ads even spell out that they're looking for someone that thrives in a "fast-paced" environment... Meaning of course, high stress. That's why I've been working so hard to get rid of the need for an employer or contract client. I need independence so I can control my environment and maintain low to moderate stress levels. I avoid high stress like the plague because to me that is exactly how it affects me.
