Judging by the sales of prescription and over the counter drugs, we're living in one of the more stressful periods in human history. Many of us feel stressed out and can't pinpoint exactly one reason. Maybe it's the fear that we're losing our retirement stash in the stock market. Or maybe it's the fact that a tenth of the work force where we work has been laid off and we think we might be next. Or maybe it's wondering how we can possibly bypass the negative influences of society to raise our children in a moral way. All of these things, and more, are slowly wearing us down and fraying our nerves to the point where we're desperately looking for solutions to take some of the stress out of our lives.

A primary cause for people being so stressed is the feeling that they have somehow lost control over the important things in their lives. To obtain or regain that control, there are three primary things that you have to have in your life - money, health, and security. It's easy to be relaxed and stress free when you're in control. When you have these three things - you're in control, and relaxed.

Money - our society is controlled by money. If you have money, you can live in a nice and decent neighborhood and not have to worry about security. If you have money, you have health insurance, and can be sure that in the event of an illness or an accident, that you can get the best health care possible. But, in a time like this, when people are having trouble finding jobs, how can you be sure that you have all the money you need? The answer is, if you depend on others, then you can't. If you want to have the money necessary to give you the stress free life that you crave, you have to take control of your livelihood outside of your employer's hand. Doing that takes planning. And by planning, you'll be able to decide if you need to go to school to get more skills, if you need to network to get more money making opportunities, or if you should start your own business.

Health - without health, life is not much fun. Being sick, is stressful not only on your mind and body, but it can be financially draining as well. There's no way that any of us can guarantee ourselves an injury and illness free existence. But what we can do is to control the foods we eat and how we take care of ourselves. Researchers estimate that many of the catastrophic diseases that shorten our lifespans - heart disease, cancer, strokes, hypertension, diabetes - are largely triggered by lifestyle and food choices.

Security - from the time we are babies, we're all looking for security. We have policeman to make our cities and towns secure. We have soldiers to make our country secure. And we have building guards to make our homes and offices secure. And as a result, we're less stressful.

If you have these three things - money, health, and security - no matter how you get them, you're guaranteed to live a pretty stress free existence.

If you want proof of the extent to which stress can affect the aging process, you simply have to take a look at a U.S. president before he takes office and when he leaves.
