Unfortunately, stress can become a very unhealthy habit in all our lives. If you are in the habit of being stressed out over some relatively small things, then know that over time you won’t be able to perform any task without losing it completely.

England are one of the two oldest national teams in football; alongside Scotland, whom they played in the world’s first international football match in 1872.
