I watched a documentary last night on Netflix, “Stress: Portrait of a Killer” http://movies.netflix.com/WiMovie/National_Geographic_Stress_Portrait_of_a_Killer/70107420?trkid=438403
It was very informative. One of the interesting things discussed was the impact that social status has on stress. High ranking baboons and British civil servants (I kid you not) have low levels of stress and stress related diseases. Their lower ranking colleagues had much higher levels of stress and stress related diseases.
Further into the episode they talked about control and how lower ranking people (baboons) have less control. Here is where we are different from the baboons. We do have control. We can control how we respond emotionally and behaviorally to the varied events of our lives. Take control of your responses today so that you can lower stress, and lessen the impacts of stress related diseases.
Just wondering… is anyone willing to groom me? <grin>
