Feeling…Rattled? In-shock? Unsettled? Confused? Struggling with maintaining your mental and emotional equilibrium? You are not alone!   Indeed, we are living in a time of unprecedented change. Some say it’s like being on a “teeter-totter” trying to keep our balance so we do not fall or fail.
To be sure, it is challenging to maintain our mental and emotional equilibrium. It is also a struggle to figure out which strategies and behaviors are the best match with what we know about ourselves and our disposition.
