You probably have at least one thing that you’ve been avoiding doing because the thought of confronting it makes you really uncomfortable.

Do you work in a job that interests you, stimulates you, and periodically even excites you? I sure hope so! I know I do. And even in what I consider to be my dream job, I sometimes find the demands overwhelming. When’s the next long weekend so I can catch my breath? If you […]
Sweaty palms, racing heart, sinking posture; that’s where I left you at the end of my previous post: you were deep in the abyss of your stress reaction; battling your stress demons. If you missed it, go back before you read this. There’s no hope of slaying your stress demons if you don’t know […]
