When It All Gets Too Much – Eight Tips for Coping During Stressful Times

Has it ever happened to you? You put your hands to your head, press hard, and think “it is all too much!”

Work, household chores, family responsibilities, preparedness tasks, walking the dog, paying the bills, shopping for groceries . . . when does it end?
