Brittney Schrick, Ph.D., CFLE Stress. For many, stress is a constant state. It is hard on the body and the mind. It can cause health problems, emotional irritability, and a host of other concerns. Especially during the last two years, additional stressors related to the pandemic such as uncertain job security, school and business closures, and illness may have taken an extra toll. Taking time to destress, even if it is just a few minutes each day, can prevent burnout and help keep you physically and emotionally healthier. 2 25 2022 Friday, February 25, 2022 7:39:20 AM PST Family Life Fridays afranke@uada.edu
