STRESS LESS
Stress is an inevitable part of life. When the total amount of stress you experience exceeds your ability to cope with it, stress wreaks havoc on your health. Stress management can be a difficult change to make. With small tweaks and adjustments, you can give yourself the time you need to cope and heal from the damage stress does to our bodies and minds.
Some ways to minimize the impact of stress include:
Reduction in exposure to physiological or psychological stress
Mitigate the harmful effects of the stress you can’t avoid
Breathing techniques for handling stress daily
Adopt strategies for stress management

We will give you what you need to make small changes that will give your stress load a big overhaul.
