"I really enjoy being outdoors. Anything that has to do with bicycling or hiking is something I could do every day. When I'm off work, I like to spend some time each week in the outdoors. It's good exercise which helps reduce stress and anxiety and helps promote good heart health, as well."

"I am actually a black belt in karate. A few evenings a week I help teach a youth karate class. It is a great way to relieve stress for me and to help teach youth the importance of discipline and self-care."

Being able to balance your hectic work schedule with your personal responsibilities and goals is often difficult. Psychologists today say that having a healthy work/life balance is crucial to help prevent becoming too stressed which could result in physical complications.

"You're right. Work can be stressful at times. I think that's true with any profession. I try to leave work at work, so to speak. I enjoy cooking and gardening and on my off time from work, I dedicate a great deal of time to those hobbies. It helps me feel productive, but not overworked."
