How Do You De-Stress?

Now that the children are back at school and Summer is over, most parents begin to get back into
the swing of things.  Routines return, bedtimes are reestablished and it's nice to sit and enjoy the quiet time of having the children at school for the day.

Often we look forward to September because it's the beginning of a new school year and many
parents are ready for a much needed break.  With the children back to the books, Fall is the perfect time for parents to begin an exercise or yoga practice. 

By taking a mere 20 to 30 minutes most days of the week you can dramatically change the way your
body handles stress.  Some great options to get back into the routine of de-stressing and re-energizing
are the following:

* Simple stretch routine for 20 minutes before work
* Walk for 15 minutes on your work breaks
* Take a 30 minute walk after dinner with your spouse
* Enroll at a yoga class once or twice per week

These are just a few ideas.  It's important to choose something that you enjoy.
It also helps to have a buddy join you!

Let us know what you decide to do.
