So, you\u2019re up early, get the kids ready (or not), grab a coffee and you\u2019re running out the door to start another- busy day. The problem is everyday is a busy day, and the reality is that a majority of women (and men too) never feel like there are enough hours in the day. This leads to more stress and more anxiety. Add to all this the fact that in 2020 it was estimated the average person was spending almost 2 and a half hours on social media every day.\nThis would be okay, except that Dr. Wendy Suzki points out that continuous exposure to news and social media is contributing heavily to anxiety and stress. According to Dr. Wendy, there are healthy levels of stress you need in your life, and there are detrimental levels of stress and anxiety that do you no favors. So how do you cope with all the added stress? Avoid it? Pretend it\u2019s not a thing, or even worse, spiral out of control ?\nThere are free, simple, very portable and easy ways to effectively lower levels of \u201ceveryday stress and anxiety.\u201d Dr. Wendy Suzuki is a Neuroscientist and Psychology professor that brings movement, joy and fun into brain science.
