Stress. 
It's everywhere. 
Sometimes the weight of it can be unbearable. 
It can be the source of a lot of drama - work place drama, family drama, even drama with our personal health. 

There are so many different ways of reducing stress out there - 
going on long walks, being in nature; surrounding yourself with supportive family and friends; taking breaks or even vacations; meditating, doing yoga; journaling.... the list goes on and on. 

For each person, the recipe for stress prevention and reduction will be a little different, and so it needs to be tailored to the individual. Even this may evolve over time and with changes in life. 

One thing's for sure, though: if we have a tendency to depend on factors outside of us to meet our needs and bring us happiness and peace, we are setting ourselves up to go right into a stress response. We can't always control what happens externally... but we might just be able to change our inner dialogue. In many cases, that alone can be a game-changer. Tune in to learn more!
