Excellent plan Caren! Don't be afraid to start small with new coping mechanisms. Just try getting some good sleep at first, then work in the physical activity.

Causes of Stress

Complaints are truly a challange George. It's hard when we feel like we are doing our best and they come in anyway. We have to remember that there are some things we can control and other things we can't.
