How much is too much stress?

How Much Stress is Ok?

Hans Selye (the stress-guru of all time) theorized that we all have a reserve of energy to respond to stress, but that an individual reservoir must learn to conserve that energy and not let the go dry. A body depleted of energy will at first feel exhausted, the mind may not function normally, and our emotional state fluctuates, meaning we may cry one moment and laugh the next. Continued stress continues to weaken the body, mind and spirit, and if not relieved of stress, we can move into a chronic state of stress which is hard to work back out of.
