Coping up with stress

COPING UP WITH STRESS

"Today's post is a tribute to all the mothers.
A mother is a special person in our life. The stress they happily endure with a smile and the things they do for us is a feat that we couldn't even fathom. A mother's job is a hectic one, every day she wakes up early, cooks food for her children and husband, sends them all to their respective places, take care of the elderly, finally leaves for the office, she comes back and does countless chores for the day! And everything without a sweat. Let's learn something from our mothers and learn to tackle stress with a smile on our face. If a mother can endure all that, then there's no reason why we shouldn't be able to do it too.
A happy mothers day to all"
