Surviving the holidays

no stress is the best!


Wellness Wednesday, November 18, Noon – 12:45 pm


The holidays are quickly approaching and with it come a variety of emotions.  While some people worry about the weight gain caused by too many holiday parties and tempting treats, others are struggling with the burden of other stresses the holiday season brings.  This time of the year can be conflicting for some people and it is sometimes difficult to manage the stress involved in family gatherings and other obligations that occur.  The joy and peace of the holiday season, as well as the reflection of the past year of our lives, often creates distressing emotions that can diminish even the richest of experiences.  Join Dr. Bill Gentry as he presents practical tips to help you manage holiday stress. 

The presentation will be held Wednesday, November 18, from noon – 12:45 pm. 

The program is free and includes a heart healthy lunch, but you must pre-register.  To register, email wellness@okstate.edu or call 744.WELL (9355) by Friday, November 13 at 5:00.  OSU….Striving to be America’s HEALTHIEST Campus!
