coping with stress tips

   I am going to LITERALLY (not literally) throw myself under a bus for you. But before we get to the bloods and guts and all that fun stuff, let’s start from the beginning.

    Who out there is stressed out? Now, stress can range from mildly perturbed to blitzed out with clumps of your hair performing a base jump from your head to the floor sans a parachute, but whatever form it may exist in, let’s face it; we all deal with stress on a regular basis.

    Stress comes in many forms. Waking up late for work and rushing to catch the bus, only to have it to pull away as you race to its door. Getting pooped on by a pigeon, spilling coffee all over your new white shirt, and being reamed out by your boss at work for something you may…or may not have…done.
