Stress Management

You feel stressed – we feel it too.

You’re not alone in feeling stressed right now.

From family to finances, we all experience stress. But since the onset of COVID-19, stress levels have risen around the world. Living with all that stress can turn us into people we don’t recognize, causing more pain for ourselves, our families and our communities. When our brain and biology are wound up for fight or flight, how do we keep situations from escalating? 

We can stop stress from hijacking our lives by understanding what’s happening in our bodies and environments and planning to keep ourselves centered.
