Wellness Wednesday: Today begins a 10-part series on managing inevitable stress. Point #1: Identify and Address the Problem:
1) When I have too many problems, I will work on just one at a time. For example, I am going to pick one huge problem and break it into smaller pieces. 2) I will seek advice and learn from their experience how to better handle problems. 3) I will take big assignments and learn to make lists or timelines. 4) I will work in teams so that I will learn that when people work well together they can do much more than if they each work alone

Wellness Wednesday: Yup. It's cold out there. Here are some safety tips from American Red Cross:
1. Be aware of the wind chill. Avoid staying in the cold too long.

3. Be careful when tackling strenuous tasks in cold temperatures. Take frequent breaks from the cold.
4. Drink plenty of warm fluids or warm water, but avoid caffeine and alcohol.
5. Get out of the cold immediately if the signs of hypothermia and frostbite appear.
