Day 348: Mid-Life Stress

The days seem to be drifting away. It is Friday evening and I am getting ready to start my weekend. Two days hardly seems like enough time to recharge and five days is never enough time to get everything done that I am attempting to get done. Yesterday I helped one of my colleagues Dr. Anne Katz promote a conference on Mid-Life Stres and Working Women. You can check out the conference at http://life-long.weebly.com/.

The one day conference is on Saturday, April 17 at the USC Andrus Gerontology Center. The conference will focus on identifying the physical manifestaton of stress and look at ways to reduce stress by promoting balance between the demand of work and home. I remember that this was an issue that Michelle Obama talked about frequently in the presidential campaign and that's what made me pay attention to her before I started paying attention to her husband.

There are several one hour workshops. One is entitled "The Back Stabbers: Peer-to-Peer Conflict in the Workplace," and another entitled, "On My Last Nerve: Effective Strategies for Managing Stress in Everyday Living." I think I'm going to sign up for that one.
