Let's say you're paying $10 to have a community education course about stress management on a Monday night in April one week from now.

Poll Stress!!!

I'm doing my one-of-a-kind planning wherein I let random strangers on the internet guide me. It's been effective for 5 years. Why stop now?

I think my answer will be too long to fit in the poll box so I will leave a comment!

Whenever I read or hear about stress management, it's usually geared toward making time for yourself, or how to de-stress (relaxation techniques, yoga, etc). Personally, I want to know how to manage my time and priorities so that the cause(s) of the stress are gone, not just a band-aid fix to the symptoms of stress!

Then again, that's a lot to ask for, for only $10...ha!

Yeah, I'm trying really hard to stay away from the "if we were all monks, this is how it would feel" approach to stress management. I'm not minimizing it -- finding the peace is important. I'm thinking more about how to change how you THINK about and proactively BEHAVE toward the stress you have. Does that sound better?

oooh, that sounds good. $10 you say? LOL
