I am guilty as charged. I can get carried away with some of these behaviours but fortunately, I catch myself and have techniques that reduce the internal damage caused by stress hormones.

• Saying "yes" to too many people.
• Mindlessly "surfing" the net or your cell phone.
• Not being present with the person you're with.
• Over-subscribing to magazines, newsletters, e-zines and papers.
• Watching/listening to the a.m., midday, 5, 6 and 10 p.m. news.
• All work and no play.
• Having a nature deficit.
• Doing it all for your kids.
• Forgetting about self-care strategies.
• Thinking that it's "just stress" and that there is nothing you can do about it. There is, though. I have coaching programs and D.I.Y. products to help you address and undress your stress. Contact me for more information.
