When you’re trying to balance work and family, it’s natural to have the occasional bad day—or maybe days. Unfortunately, those difficult days can string together and impact your relationships and health.

Stress causes irritability and short tempers, often directed to the people you love. And that probably means that it really isn’t them, it’s you! Stress can also lead to headaches, fatigue, chest pain, muscle tension and other physical issues. In a few words, stress sucks. And, as any entrepreneur knows, there’s no shortage of stress. Figuring out how to deal with stress is very important to your health and your family.
