It's so easy to become imprinted with fear and anxiety just from watching the news.  As we watch tragedies and natural disasters, we naturally feel empathy for those involved, but also can become fearful, even subconsciously, that something similar might happen to us or those we love.  Personal stresses, such as job loss (or fear of job loss), financial pressures, or loss of a relationship adds to the emotional load so many are carrying.  

Doc Childre (founder of HeartMath) wrote a 15-page e-book, a "De-Stress Kit for the Changing Times."  In this booklet, he offers some simple suggestions for accessing inner strength and maintaining balance and composure in stressful times.  At the end of the booklet, he authorizes free distribution and asks that we help by posting it on blogs and websites, thus this post.  Hope you'll find some little tidbit that helps--feel free to pass it along to anyone who might benefit.
