Surf your Stress
Learn to balance and ride the waves. Everyone experiences stress once in a while and that’s alright, because stress is part of life and encourages you to perform better. It's about finding your balance and riding the waves.
Learning to ride the waves of stress is inextricably linked to losing your balance every so often, falling and being pulled under, only to surface again and continue surfing.
