Finding Peace: Recommended reads to help reduce stress 

Anytime we step outside our comfort zone, we may experience a level of discomfort that causes some level of stress or anxiety.  It could be perceived as a positive situation, like starting a new job or buying a new house, or perhaps more negative, like losing a job or getting sick.

Whatever you’re feeling during times of uncertainty and stress. It can be perfectly normal and valid. People react differently to situations that can cause a range of emotions throughout the day: from anger to grief, guilt, worry, joy or contentment.

For additional support, check out this list of books to help better understand and address stress to practice mindfulness while in search of hope and peace-of-mind.
