Stress is a natural part of everyday life.
Everyone handles stress differently, some better than others. If you think you have too much stress in your life, it may be helpful to talk with a doctor, clergy member, or other caring professional. They may suggest that you consult with a psychiatrist, psychologist, social work, or other qualified counselor because reactions to stress can be a factor in depression, anxiety, and other mental and emotional disorders. No one is perfect, so don't expect perfection from yourself or others. Meditate for ten to twenty minutes.
