If you have a job like mine, you probably feel the effects of stress daily.  Trying to find balance on long work days is near to impossible, but it can make a huge difference in your life and your waistline.  Today, we, as a society,  are more stressed than any prior generation.  We simply cannot get away from work and stress.  We carry our computers with us where we go, and many of us use them 24 hour a day and seven days a week.  We are always on the go from wake to rest, and this does not contribute to a stress-controlled life.
