Stressed Out? How To Stop Stressing Yourself Out

Here’s your bit of trivia knowledge for the day. The term stress was first coined by Dr. Hans Seyle in the 1930s to describe the physiological responses in the body in situations that people judged to be ‘stress-ful.’ At a conference he attended nearer the end of his career, an audience member asked him how they could eliminate stress.  ‘If anyone tells you they can eliminate your stress, run,’  he replied. ‘What they are really saying is that they want to kill you. The absence of stress is not health, it’s death.’
