For me a big summer stress is that living in the south, the temperature for most of the day is close to 100 degrees, and on some days, over 100 degrees. This prevents me from being able to work in my garden outdoors, which is a big stress reducer. Also, it’s more difficult to exercise outdoors, so most of the time is spent indoors. This is probably a good time to start walking the air conditioned mall to get the exercise needed to reduce and manage stress.
