Building our resilience, coping mechanism and ability to shift our focus will help us in dealing with these unexpected changes.

Only today does the fire burn brightly. Live today! -Eskimo Proverb @stresscoachwanda #StressWellTip #stressmanagement #journaling #journalprompts ♬ original sound - ADHDmemetherapy
