Brigid Schulte Quotes

If you had the perception that you are very stressed out then your grey matter was fully 20 per cent smaller in volume than people who did not have that same feeling.

That matters because when we are feeling more stressed, that is when we are at our most vulnerable in our inability to think our way out of it.
