The stress post

One of the first questions that my alternative health practitioners (chiropractor, acupuncturist, naturopath) asked me when I started seeing them was about my stress levels. I always said I was pretty stress-free. I thought that was true. I don't have a demanding job, my home life is good, my family is in generally good health, and I don't, as a rule, get terribly worked up about things for more than an hour or two, after which I've either resolved the issue or come to grips with the fact that it's something I can't change. In either case, I move on. I don't dwell on problems, and I rarely feel what I considered to be stressed-out. That all changed in the past month or so, as I've come to realize that I've spent the last ten years of my life in varying stages of stress.

Dallas Hartwig, of Whole9, showed a page from one of his presentation workbooks that lists sources of stress. It's a long list: ( see below )
