According to Dr. Nick Hall, there is no such thing as too much stress. He explains that stress can actually be very good for us. It forms our character, shows us where are strengths lie, helps us become resourceful and resilient. BUT The problems start when our stress isn't balanced out with enough counter-stress activities. Something that allows our minds to relax and have a stretch, and our bodies to recuperate. So if you've had a busy week, it's important to make time over the weekend for joy and relaxation.
