The levels of stress tend to manifest in many ways, for instance psychologically, physically, or even behaviorally in a person’s life and body. Simple things such as making decisions to pains in the chest are signs. Controlling one’s stress level is important factor in overall wellness.
Many areas of a person’s life contribute to high stress levels such as work, school, family, etc. One must assess each individual area of their life in order to get a handle on their stress levels.
