Family, Friends and Communities

Fight or flight was designed to save your life; it is that design that gets our blood boiling when something happens beyond our control, leaving us wondering if we can fix it. In the past, these ‘threats’ would result in a fight or flight — thus releasing that pent-up stress. Now, however, we are left to deal with the built up hormones in other ways.
Just how stressful can anyone’s life be before it’s too much? I’m amazed at how many families are out there enduring incredible amounts of stress. Still, most of us pick up the sticks and carry on. We seem to find support from family, friends and communities that ultimately make life livable.
