what was the most stressful period of your life and how did you overcome

The most stressful period of my life was the time I had cold room, doing ice block business, I will wake up sometime by 3:am drive myself to a very far distance where the cold rooms were, begin to bring out as many ice blocks I will sell on a day, very many blocks. After which I will drive back to the city and begin supplying to my customers who are waiting for me one by one.

When I finish that I will drive again a very long distance to where we lived. Like by 11:am and 12pm. By 4:pm again, I will drive back there again to collect my money from some customers who had not paid in the morning.

Every day I was doing the same thing. Most times I will be very weak and be feeling headaches but never take it seriously. Until when I became very sick and went for a check up you know doctors must say something. They said one thing and started treatment on me. I became very Lin, but God healed me, after that, I left the business and regained my stature. That was when I knew the bad effect of stress on people, moreover the unchecked stress.
To avoid stress, take enough sleep regularly, check up your blood pressure regularly, always relax your self with those things that makes you happy.

Conclusion, stress is not palatable, it should be avoided by all means. Stress kills, it causes sicknesses, it causes high blood pressure, it causes cardiac arrest, stress make the brain of the sufferers to shrink up causing them forgetfulness. It's absolutely bad to allow yourself suffer stress. It can be consciously avoided by having a pattern of life and being satisfied with what you have. Life is higher than wealth. Avoid stress totally!!.
