A Message from the Chief Wellness Officer – September 11th, 2018

Hi Everyone,
Does your pulse quicken when you pay a bill? You’re not alone: Almost three in four Americans surveyed in a recent study said they worry about bills, emergencies, taking care of aging parents, children’s college tuition and paying for retirement. Financial stress can affect stress levels, and if elevated stress levels persist, it can lead to increased risk for ulcers, migraines, high blood pressure, heart attack, depression and anxiety. Financial stress also can affect your psychological and emotional well-being, distracting you at work and complicating personal relationships. Clearly, your mind and body can’t afford financial stress.
Use these tips to improve your financial wellness:
You can take control. When you analyze, plan well and take control of your spending, you can make significant changes in how you spend, save and feel.
Warm and well regards,
