Less stress

For too long we’ve subsisted on the rush of our caffeine culture as hyper members of modern electronic families, enthralled spectators in the media’s global theme park of life and death events. Pursued and embedded in an endless drama that often feels personal and overwhelming, we take it to heart and hold on tighter. Our bodies, minds and spirits know this. There are few quiet times or places to recover. That’s no accident. If we let it, our stressful culture wraps us in the constant allure of Breaking News alerts and tragic updates, especially at bedtime. Fast-paced reporting sponsored by new pharmaceutical ‘solutions’ leaves millions of us still anxious, sleep-deprived, distressed or depressed.
