Wellness Tip
A very simple exercise and an excellent stress relief technique is walking.
When you feel frustrated or anxious, take a brisk walk around the block, through your workplace or up and down the stairs.
This will use up the adrenaline that is going through your bloodstream before it negatively affects your health.
