How I Handle Stress
My favorite things to relieve stress? Working myself silly at the track or on bleachers, grilling, watching live music, and watching my two favorite football teams! Geaux Tigers and Hook ’em!
Ready, go! Let me know. Thank you!

Have not been here for a while. I will e-mail some thoughts on stress relief.
Got your email, thank you! You gave very practical thoughts, like identifying where the stress comes from and your attitude toward it, and meditation. (Hope you don’t mind my sharing!)
What I heard from everyone else was exercise, a favorite hobby, and walking with a friend which combines exercise and socializing.
Thank you all for your feedback! It helps me be a better trainer to you all, and I appreciate it so much!
