“Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest.” Jesus the Christ (Mark 6:31)

Furthermore, every illness or disease begins with a breach in the immune system and stress directly attacks the immune system. In fact, 90% of all visits to primary care physicians are stress related. There is even some evidence that heightened stress can increase a person's susceptibility to cancer or worsen the prognosis of a person with cancer. One of the reasons this may be true is because research has shown that cortisol, the stress hormone, appears to have an impact on tumor growth.
Stress can effect all aspects of our physical, spiritual, emotional, cognitive and behavioral functioning. Some of the symptoms of stress may be an irregular heart beat, gastrointestinal problems, headaches, sleep disturbances, difficulty breathing, chest pain, difficulty concentrating, procrastination, memory problems, anxiety, depression, nervousness, fear, worry, apathy, irritability, impulsiveness, nightmares, withdrawal, aggression, anger, racing thoughts, loss of sexual interest, feeling distant from God, abusing caffeine and alcohol, foot/finger tapping, nail biting, hair pulling, compulsive eating, and teeth grinding just to name a few.
