Worse: Fatigue & exhaustion, stress and tension (regardless of origin)Better:Full relaxation/meditation, being mindful (centered - which may include not over-doing it or neglecting needs whether it is eating/drinking, emotion, or exercise), keeping well in all aspects (body, mind, attitude) LOL looking at the posts so far it seems we all suffer from a lack of resilience. Where did it go????
