This being the case I'm going to break up this answer into two parts.<br />The physical affects of stress, I'm sure everyone has felt or experienced at one time or another. These include tension in your muscles, headaches, high pressure and even strokes. I know from my own experiences, under a lot of stress caused insomnia for me in the end a loss of weight. The physical affects of stress are quite obvious and are easily measured when compared to the mental affects.<br />EQ or which is also know as mental health is the not so obvious to measure, but can be definitely seen through your mood. If you find yourself with a very bad temper; often losing your cool or maybe even feeling depressed and down.

Or, are you carrying excessive abdominal fat?<br />12) Are you easily irritated lately?<br />13) How often have you missed work in the last year due to actual illness?<br />14) Do you often feel fatigued at the end of a day?<br />15) Do you have a feeling that stress may be affecting your health?<br />When I was burned and overstressed and since my mother is actually a yoga teacher, I found myself going to her for advice.
