Stress affects us all. You may notice symptoms of stress when disciplining your kids, during busy times at work, when managing your finances, or when coping with a challenging relationship. Stress is everywhere. And while a little stress is OK - too much stress can wear you down and make you sick, both mentally and physically. Generally when we experience pain its our bodies way of telling us we need to stop or we've experienced some sort of trauma. Its important to listen to these signs because if we don't our mental and emotional strain will manifest in the body in some form of desease or illness.
