HOW STRESSED AM I?
And yet sometimes, because this is all such a part of life, we don't even realize how stressed we are. It's easy to become calloused to what our bodies are telling us. Or just accept the symptoms of stress as "normal".
The first stages of stress is when our bodies perceive a stressor and responds to it. This can be manifested in any of the following ways. The more symptoms we have, the greater our stress is.
- Exhaustion

Well, how did you do? If you have more than 10, it's time to take action. Stress, when not addressed, becomes chronic and the body's reserves become depleted. All body functions become compromised and lead to chronic diseases and autoimmune issues from which a weakened body has a reduced chance to recover.
