Another Clean Up Entry

Hi All,

Periodically I graze through my Firefox bookmarks and decide to generate a 'clean up blog entry' wherein I list sites that are interesting, but probably don't warrant a whole blog entry devoted to the particular site.  Today is another one of those entries...enjoy the links.  Its a bakers dozen list - there are 13 sites...

Hi All,

Stress. It is a part of our daily life - unfortunately.  It can come at you from family, friends, work and other sources. Its, well, stressful.  But there are many ways to relieve stress. 

And because stress is so prevalent in our everyday life, the Farmingdale Public Library is hosting a Stress Management Workshop on Thursday, November 13th at 3pm. 

In this workshop you'll learn how to manage your stress. Topics included: possible causes of stress, the effects stress can have on your life, and some strategies to cope with stress.  Registration for this class has already begun, but there are spots available for the class.  Click on this link to register for the Stress Management Workshop.

And with that all said, here are 3 links from the web, that can help you relieve the stress right now.

This first link is from a website called HelpGuide.org.  The site self-proclaims itself as being 'expert, ad-free resources that help you resolve health issues.  Okay.  Sounds good at least.  The article is called 'Stress Management: How to Reduce, Prevent, and Cope with Stress'.   The article is well written, clear and gives readers many different tools and techniques for identifying and controlling the stress in their life.

The next link is from the famed Mayo Clinic.  This article is appropriately enough, called, 'Stress Management' and discusses stress basics, stress relief and relaxation techniques.  Excellent article from a world renowned source of medical information.

Finally, the next article comes from the American Heart Association. The article is titled, 'To Stress or Not To Stress? You Decide. But We Can Help.'  The article covers topics like stress management, explanations why it is good to practice stress managment and even more technniques to lower stress in your daily life.  All great stuff from another world famous, unbiased, medical organization. And the information is free to boot!

Hope these entries make your day a bit less stressful!

Enjoy the links,
Stu

Hot, Hot, Hot...

Hi All,

Have any readers of this blog realized how many posts are dedicated to the weather?  Yep - I thought so.  Not many people realize that a good chunk of my entries discuss weather and weather related events.  Today's post is no different because of the ensuing hot weather for the weekend.

Can you say hot, hot, hot?

Well, click on this link for a forecast for Saturday and Sunday. Hot, hot, hot!
