We talked about understanding the stress and anxiety many of us have coming from our work. Mark offered ideas on time management and project management to help reduce stress. We discussed the range of emotions around stress including anxiety, depression, and hopelessness. Mark explained a simple meditation practice of closing your eyes and picturing a relaxing place.
