Women and Stress
Man, I have been stressed out this week. Like tear-out-my-hair kind of stress. Calgon, take me away! My first antidote to stress is always exercise. The busier I get, the more important it is to make time for something, even if it's just a 15 minute walk. The second thing I do is visit Melissa's Stress site because she always gives me some great tips to de-stress. Today, I found her great newsletter course about women and stress. Perfect!
