Fast Fact
Stress triggers changes in our bodies and makes us more likely to get sick. It can also make problems we already have worse. Don’t let stress make you sick. Make time for yourself. No matter how busy you are, set aside at least 15 minutes each day in your schedule to do something for yourself, like taking a bubble bath, going for a walk, or calling a friend.
