Protect yourself from stress

Stress hits each of us differently. Some of us feel it in our bodies. Others just can’t stop worrying. Back when I was doing research at Harvard, we called the kind of stress that expresses itself in the body "somatic": things like getting butterflies in your stomach, or indigestion, a racing heart or the jitters. But some people are prone to experiencing their stress mentally, for the most part. The stress that you feel in your mind — like worrisome thoughts that keep you up at night or that continually intrude into your focus during the day — is "cognitive" stress.

In either case, we can feel awful. And being in the grip of distress not only feels bad – it cripples our ability to work effectively.
