And sometimes stress is just self induced. The normal pressures of daily life might be a lot, but sometimes we stoke the fire that pushes us over the top. Like listening and being too worked up by the news. (Guilty as charged.)

Probably not a whole hell of a lot. So when I’m particularly stressed out, I try to avoid the news and headlines, at least for awhile. Turn off the TV, don’t read or listen to the news, don’t pick up an alarmist magazine, and forget about the first sentence of this article. In fact, I’m sorry I ever wrote it.
