Stress Quote by Tom Rath
““An interesting finding from recent research is that the way you deal with stress can be more important than the stressor itself. If you get overly upset by daily stressors and continue to dwell on them after the fact, your health will suffer. However, if you make the decision to accept what happened and let it go quickly, it reduces the long-term damage to your health and well-being.””
