Coping with Stress

This is a great plan Miriam. Being proactive can really save us from getting stressed out in the future. And holding people accountable for their actions reduces the chances that we will instead resent them, which is better for our relationships in the long run.

Coping with Stress

This sounds tough Rebekah. Some parents are able to include children in their exercise routines - depending on their age. Going for a bike ride together for example is a great way to both spend time and stay fit.

Indeed. It might feel a little strange at first, but booking time for you can be the key to coping with stress. Give it a try and experience for yourself the kind of benefits it brings.
