Reducing stress?

The third key to healthy living is reducing stress.  We are just beginning to understand the negative consequences stress is having on our health today.  We are taking pills to get started, to keep going and then more pills to go to sleep at night.  Most of us burn the candle at both ends and are rapidly running out of candle.  Most of us are living beyond our means, paying way too much in interest and saving way too little of what we make on a monthly basis.  Instead of getting really good at one thing we are all experiencing the confusion created by multitasking.  We don't need more income or more time.  We just need more margin.  That's what you have left over when you get to the end.  When I was growing up years ago back when dinosaurs roamed the earth we always had leftovers in the refrigerator.  If we were hungry and we were between meals you could pull out the leftovers, heat them up and have something to eat.  That's what we need today.  Leftovers, or margin.  We need this with our money, our time, and our relationships.  More margin and less stress.
