Relax ... Feel Great! Stay Young with Miriam.

The good kind urges us on to do the best we can in a creative and exciting way. It is exhilarating, giving us the extra needed push to accomplish a job.

The bad kind causes us to do things in a hurry and often not the best way we can. It can make us feel badly, tense and even cause headaches, upset stomachs and bad backs.
