"A man ninety years old was asked to what he attributed his longevity. 'I reckon,' he said, with a twinkle in his eye, 'It's because most nights I went to bed and slept when I should have sat up and worried.'"

 -Dorothea Kent

 

The Affects of Stress

Virtually everyone today lives with some form of stress.  And yet most people don't realize how profoundly stress can affect their health.  Consider the following facts:

  • 43% of all adults suffer stress-related adverse health effects.
  • 75%-90% of all visits to primary care physicians are for stress-related complaints or disorders.
  • Stress has been linked to all of the leading causes of death, including heart disease, cancer, lung ailments, accidents, cirrhosis and suicide.
  • An estimated 1 million workers are absent each day with stress-related complaints.
  • Stress is responsible for more than 25 billion lost workdays annually.


During the In8 Therapeutic LifeStyle Change program, we conduct workshops on relaxation and meditation techniques for you to learn the science of managing stress in your daily life.  A take home CD is included in the program so you can keep on track of incorporating meditation into your life on a consistent basis.
