***Relationship Stress
Relationship stress can be a huge source of misery and health problems. Studies show, for example, that marital stress and dissatisfaction go hand in hand with depression and heart trouble for both men and women. In one study, University of Pittsburgh researchers studied 500 middle-aged women and found that women in high stress marriages, when compared with this in low stress and more satisfying marriages, were at greater risk for heart attacks and strokes because they were more likely to have blockages in the main artery of their hearts and in their carotid artery.

Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Jim Manganiello
Quotes:
"People are often stressed because they try to steal by the darkness of night what, in truth, they already own by the light of clear day."
"Did you ever go to the grocery store for mustard only to return home with bags of groceries--but no mustard? That's what happens to most of us in life--we come here for an adventure. But because we get distracted--we forget. Then on our death beds we slap ourselves on the forehead and say: My God--I forgot the Mustard. Deep personal growth is about Remembering the Mustard."
"We're all stressed because we're stuck in a spider's web of conditioned identity--that's too small for who we truly are."
"When Michelangelo approached the block of granite--he SAW David in it. His task was to find and FREE David, not create him. In essence, that's our task--to find and free who we truly are. That shuts down stress and turns on what really makes life worth living."
