All good things! I would also say that STRESS KILLS. It has real physical harm to the body. I love working in high-stress situations but it has taken a long time to learn how to make stressful situations not stress me out. Finally, find meaning in the things you do even if they are not 'meaningful things'.

There a physiological reason for that. Look at the resource requirements for the brain relative to the rest of the body.

As mental health deteriorates the consumption of resources required by the brain can fall out of rhythm to the detriment of the rest of the body.
