3. When you’re stressed, your brain releases a hormone called Cortisol
which works like a built-in alarm system.

4. Cortisol levels peak around midday and begin to decrease about

repair the brain psychologically and physically.

it will not play. If you had
NO stress in your life, you
would never be challenged,
excited, or hopeful.
