If you have a question about how to lower stress it more than likely is covered here. Areas discussed include exercise and meditation and its usefulness in lowering stress.

Hmm, don't worry about things you can't control, such as the weather. The person who wrote this does not live in a rural environment where if the weather reaches below 32 degrees for more than 4 hours, a $1 million peach crop is lost. The weather is a huge factor in ruling how we live our lives, because it controls what kind of energy you have to use to stay healthy -- heating oil in the Northeast, electricity and gas in the South, etc. Although you can't control it, you have to learn how to predict it with a certain amount of accuracy if you need to support yourself by growing things -- like vegetables in a garden to feed your family -- in a rural environment. :-) I say control stress by listing the things you need to control by percentage, and then work to reach those goals.
