vegas492 Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 @Packerraymond It isn't just you...dealing with higher anxiety right now. I'm in the employee benefits world and there is a huge uptick on anxiety right now. Couple things have come my way about how to combat anxiety....and they've been mentioned before, but I'll mention them again. Per "Your Wellness Matters".... According to a Gallup poll, 55% of American are stressed during the day. This is 20% higher than the prior average of 35%. 77% of Americans say that their stress affects their physical health. 73% of Americans say their stress affects their mental health. 48% of Americans say their stress disrupts their sleep. Most commons signs of extreme stress include trouble sleeping, social withdrawn, appetite changes and chest pain. Feelings of anxiety, depression, irritability, restlessness, anger and fatigue are also common. Per the Newsletter.... What can be help reduce stress? Plan and prioritize your most important responsibilities Listen to relaxing music to help calm you down Get some exercise to work off your stress and release stress fighting endorphins Try meditating, as this activity can help you calm your mind and remain focused on the present Avoid carffeine, as this stimulant and worsen your stress Practice self-care and make time for yourse.f MOST IMPORTANTLY, IGNORE @Norm!! Take care of yourself, man. You've got a wedding coming up and all of this virus stuff, no doubt you are stressed and feeling anxiety. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're all in agreement that summer bodies are cancelled, right? I started planking two weeks ago. Up to two minutes now, and I think I’m probably still in the bottom 10%, LOL. I’ve got a long way to go, but man that sh!t hurts so good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cannondale Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 (edited) After 20 somethin somethin years, still holding at 6'-4" and 210. God gets all the credit and I get zero. 36" inseam and 37" arm length probably helps. Now that I think about it, I should check because I might have shrunk.
