Causes of Stress

It's great to hear that you're able to walk away from your day so easily Casey. For most instructors, it's not that easy and the stress from the day tends to come home with them.

Coping with Stress

Walking is actually great exercise Cherri. A lot of instructors think they have to do something really extreme to stay in shape, but the best exercise is really just the one you'll do consistently.

That's a great attitude Maria because you have quite a schedule! Wish there was a little time for you in there. Maybe it's the drive from one place to the next where you get a little you time.
