How To Manage Stress



From Elizabeth Scott, M.S., your Guide to Stress Management
September is a busy month for most people. Parents and kids from school age to college age are adjusting to new school schedules, which generally keep us busier. The days are becoming shorter again, and liesure time is dwindling. It gets easier to become too busy without realizing it, and that's when stress management can become more challenging. This newsletter brings strategies--some of them ones that may be the opposite of what you find yourself wanting to do when you're busy--that can help you to keep from being overwhelmed by activity, and enjoy life at a more relaxed pace. I hope you enjoy the rest of your week, and the coming season as well! -Elizabeth Scott
