Good stress?  Bad stress?  Stress more?  Stress less?These sounds like words to a song that we are all singing.  An article that was written in 2016 (pre-pandemic) that indicated that “...stress.....has been dubbed the “Health Epidemic of the 21st Century” by the World Health Organization and at the time was estimated to cost American businesses up to $300 billion a year.  Not all stress is bad stress.  However, when stress becomes chronic in nature that is when it can significantly impact our health. In this episode of the Perfectly Pl@nted podcast we share a few stress reduction tips.  You can find more details on the Perfectly Pl@nted website.  You can also subscribe to the Perfectly Pl@nted YouTube channel to watch our Sunday Seedlings and wonderful guest interviews.  In the meantime, we hope you find some much needed space to decompress.Follow Daphne Bascom (Wingman Wellness) on Social Media Website: www.WingmanWellness.comInstagram: @WingmanDaphneTwitter: @DaphneBascom Pinterest: www.pinterest.com/daphnebascom Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/dabascomFollow Vesime Schroering (Veggie Ves)Instagram: Vesime_SWebsite: vesimeschroering.arbonne.com#perfectlypl@nted #perfectlypl@nted22 #stress #stressless Music by Ivymusic from Pixabay
