In this race, against time and also ourselves to achieve something – a dream, to buy a car, to set up a home, for the children’s better education or for a promotion, we let the stress take over, more so embrace it like it’s a part of us. Only to realise, how bad it affects when it starts to show on you, not just your physical health or also the mental weakness, reaching a point where you wonder, ‘Hey! Am not as old as I look. Well I need to hit the gym and do something!’ . The only assurance you give yourself until you feel this again.
