Stressful situations

So I've had some very unwanted experiences lately; I've discovered that it's quite stressful to close down a public health program, and even though you can consciously practice relaxation techniqes and convince yourself that everything will be okay, sometimes, your body still feels the stress and manifests it in unfortunate ways, like two nights of insomnia. And then when you add in the normal stresses of being a single female in social situations and viola. . . A week full of stress, that doesn't appear to be about to abate anytime soon. I guess this is a good time to practice those stress management techniquest I'm always teaching about. Practice what you preach eh.
