Chronic stress leads to...

increased blood pressure and blood sugar levels
increased chances of clinical depression
increased chances of burnout and adrenal dysfunction
impaired learning ability
chronic fatigue and sleep disorders
frequent urination
upset stomachs and increased gastric acid

  3. Life is full of pressures and stresses. And I often think that it is not what happens necessarily, but, the way you react to it that makes a difference in our way of managing pressure and stress.
