April is Stress Awareness Month

April is Stress Awareness Month! Coping with stress can become increasingly difficult as we age, especially in times like the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak. We want to share some ways that can provide stress relief for older adults. Keep your mind sharp by doing activities like soduko or crossword puzzles. Avoid negative self-talk and read words of inspiration. Seek out positive memories and talk about your feelings to loved ones and friends. Learn and use relaxation techniques and meditation. During these stressful times it is imperative to monitor your physical and mental health.
