Stress Management Stress Management Stress Causes Stress Effects How To Manage Stress From Elizabeth Scott, M.S., your Guide to Stress Management I once heard someone mention that dealing with the many stressors, annoyances, and energy drains in their life felt like being "pecked to death by ducks." This phrase has always made me laugh, and describes the feeling so well! How would you feel if you were able to eliminate some of the "ducks" in your life? This newsletter brings resources to help you do just that. Take the rest of the week to focus on eliminating even one or two of your energy drains, and next week will be a less stressful week! -Elizabeth What Are Your Tolerations?

Read on for effective ways to identify these stressors so you can cut them out of your life for good. See More About:  stress management how-to's  tolerations  busy lifestyle Where To Begin?
