If you feel you need some life coaching in this area, please contact me. I usually only do 3 month commitments, but I am doing hourly one-on-one sessions for specific needs until Dec. 31. I help coach people through difficult issues to guide them in discovering next steps to take towards their goal in less amount of time than if they were to do it on their own.

Or know that there are supplements that can help and I highly recommend Oasis (adapt to physical and other sources of stress, antioxidants, polyphenols and anti-inflammatory properties, immune and cognitive support, contains B vitamins for energy and immune support) and Clearmood (Brightens mood, support for relaxation & Helps ease the effects of stress and worry)
