Handling stress isn't about eliminating it, it's about managing it and counteracting its health-damaging hormones with a goodly amount of your body's own natural health-benefitting chemicals -- like endorphins and oxytocin, either of which can be boosted through activities like walking, knitting, soaking in a bubble bath, cleaning out a closet, hugging a friend, kissing your spouse/child/parent, or going for a run.
