Staying grounded and positive while surrounded by illness, loss or other stressful situations is a challenge. Sometimes stress can be unavoidable and having a plan to make sure it doesn't overwhelm you is critical. Chronic stress isn't only a mental strain, it also causes elevated levels of cortisol in the body which can make it easier to gain weight and harder to lose it. To complete this challenge, create a strategy you can use the next time you need a de-stressing, happiness boost and use it twice each week.
