One of the biggest issues I've had with the Wellness Community has been the sort of 'all or nothing' approach to things. So many of the popular faces in the culture preach an idea that you need to completely remove the troubling or bad things in your life. For example, they'll tell you to be happy you need to remove all stress. That's just not realistic, or healthy. Stress is a natural part of our lives. The better way is to learn how to manage the stresses we face. Learn how to determine how much of it we take on.
Dr. Elissa Epel has been studying stress and its impact on the body for years. She's just published a book called 'The Stress Prescription: 7 Days To More Joy and Ease.' I had a chance to catch up with Dr. Epel to discuss stress, how it's evolved over time and how we can better manage it in our own lives.
