We all know that eating healthy, getting enough sleep, and exercising help us to cope with stress, but who has time for that? The continuous demands of our jobs, hectic schedules and everyday lives keep us on the stress hamster wheel. We try to suppress the stress to make it through another day and tell ourselves we’ll deal with it later. But then later comes and it’s the same story.
