According to the Oxford American Dictionary, stress is defined as a state of mental or emotional strain or tension resulting from adverse or very demanding circumstances. As per this definition, it is easy to see why having stress in one's life could be debilitating. Therefore, individually we should each try to maintain a lifestyle that accommodates a stress-free environment and as professionals we should strive to provide a menu and an environment that not only nurtures but possibly facilitates a stress-free lifestyle for our clients.
