If today’s women took the time to look at themselves in the mirror what would they see?

Most would see someone with a career, children to tend to, friends and family to support, financial responsibilities and a person who is forever taking on more tasks because no one else can get the job done!

Stress and the Superwoman

The way in which you cope with stress is based on how you perceive your situation, your ability to deal with your physical symptoms and your coping skills. And understanding your response to stress is the first step toward overcoming its destructive effects.

Try keeping a journal of the stressful situations you experience, how you feel and what you are saying to yourself. With time, you will probably be able to recognize the association between the way you think and the way you feel.

Successful coping is the art of finding a balance between acceptance and action, of letting go and taking control.
