stress

As anxiety and stress builds up daily inside of us during this coronavirus pandemic, it's important that we find ways to reduce and release those feelings.

Exercise improves your physicality, yes. But also lowers anxiety and boosts your "feel good" hormones, too! We need that--especially during quarantine.

For some, it may be a day for self-care. For others, it's catching up on projects. Here's three possible ways to spend your "pull yourself together day."

The coronavirus pandemic apparently has us so tense in the Bayou State that the folks at WalletHub have deemed us the most stressful state in the United States.

We may start to feel stir-crazy and lose a sense of schedule and purpose. It's imperative now to develop a self-care routine to avoid "quarantine burnout."

The next time a holiday comes around, fight the temptation to minimize it. Celebrate special days. Heck, celebrate every day. Really, aren't they all special?

Sometimes it's the little things: The stream of tiny stressors plaguing our days that make us feel a bit crazy.

Even if you love your work, there's a sense of pressure to get back to the "work week" after a brief reprieve over the typical two-day weekend.

Sometimes it's the smile, kind glance, or helping with a chore you don't normally do that can make a difference in lives of those you love--and strangers, too.

I believe there is still something deep inside of us that heals when we go out into the green sanctuaries and wilder places for our own sanity and peace of mind.

Humans are such rebels. We know we need to get to sleep, but we sabotage our own desires. So, let's come at it from a different angle.
