Resolution or Plan?
Welcome to the dawn of 2004! It seems like just yesterday we celebrated the new millennium, let alone the year 2003. As we live our day to day lives, time in the larger sense seems to fly by. Seasons change, New Year's
resolutions become dusty and dated
and suddenly here we are again with
a clean slate before us.

Resolving to Embrace Change
Happy New Year! I've made some New Year's resolutions. I'm going to lose 20 pounds, stop smoking, eat more veggies, be kind to strangers and bring peace and harmony to the planet. The pressure is on. I've written it down this time. Now, let's pile on the stress
and guilt from failing to achieve
last year's resolutions and heart
failure is not far down the road.
Why do we do this to ourselves?

Stress in the Workplace
In today's climate of downsizing and loss of job security, the term 'stress' has taken on serious proportions. More than ever, people need to have strategies to manage their stress. We all know the role that exercise plays in improving our health and feeling of well being. The impact
that physical activity has on our mental health cannot be overlooked.
Research has shown that the physical changes that take place during exercise

during exercise, which help to lift depression and can allay stress. Blood

benefit from improved circulation and oxygen delivery.
