Chronic stress is very bad for health. Please take good care & consider giving this a try.
Mindfulness has been a hot topic in psychology the past few years, as it is very effective for managing anxiety & difficult circumstances.
Be well, All!

I definitely see anxiety rising, simply by virtue of the fact that there are now many people posting in the wee morning hours. Even a couple of weeks ago, it was quiet at those times.
Be well!
Ps - please feel free to copy link & post away.

It is too much.
Chronic stress floods our bodies with stress hormones constantly. Very unhealthy.
Please help me keep this message out there?
