THE SCOOP | MARCH 2019
Managing Cumulative Stress
We all have stresses in our work and personal lives. Recently, the management team attended
a Lunch & Learn to understand ways to manage stress. Dr. Natasha LaMarr from the Employee
Assistance Program (EAP) led the group through several exercises including learning to breathe
correctly and identifying ways to decompress between work and family time. Remember, it is
important to take care of ourselves to be effective at work and at home. Some tips for improving
your stress management are:
• Meditate
• Practice good nutrition
• Start journaling; list at least three things that you are grateful for everyday
• Exercise
• Perform an act of kindness each day
