Susan and Bentley's Stress Relief Program



Have you been feeling frazzled lately?



Are you so busy that you often wish there were two of you
to get everything done on the "To Do List"?



Are your days so hectic that you don't know whether things are up ...




or down?

Come join Bentley and me as we take you on our one month
Stress Relief Program.

I made the decision yesterday that my life is just spinning
out of control.  I try to do too much and I fret over not
accomplishing it all.  I am edgy and irritable.  In my defense I 
will say that the last several years have been filled with lots of
worry and anguish.  But that's not an excuse, because we all go
through stressful times.

So ... I'm making changes that will calm me down and help me
be the person I need to be for my loved ones.


Today starts week one:  Exercise

Adding exercise into my daily routine.  It's the best way to get
rid of stress.  Yoga, going for a walk, strength training a couple of 
times per week.  Tennis lessons at the park?  Anything to get me
moving to work off the stress.  I used to be so faithful about exercise,
but in the past year, I have not taken the time to do it.  So I am
making the commitment to work some form of exercise into each and
every day.

Will you join me?

Bentley votes for lots of walkies!

Hugs,
Susan and Bentley

  1. I would LOVE to join you and Bentley for a stroll! Our life is so similar, Susan! I was just thinking yesterday that if I had a little help with my space (like my friends do) I would get sooo much more done!!

    Take time for YOU!

  5. I will join you - stress seems to be my middle name lately. Walking is just the ticket and something I forget to do each day.

  6. Hi Susan and Bentley, I'd love to walk with you! I actually walk with a neighbor and her pup four times a week and we also do strength training together twice a week. I go on long bike rides but need to do that more. Great job; you'll both enjoy it.
