Monday Health Tip
Talk It Out
Although it can be hard to discuss stressful situations, keeping
perspective and coming up with potential solutions is an important part of
remaining calm and moving forward. Friends or coworkers - who are often facing
similar issues or have advice from past experiences - can provide the perfect
support system to help you do just that. If you feel stressed this week, ask
friends or family to lend an ear. They may be able to offer insight that
you would not have seen otherwise.
