3 STRATEGIES TO REDUCE ANXIETY
When most people think of anxiety, they likely have negative connotations tied to it. Many make the assumption that anxiety will always lead to panic attacks and fears of major change, but just about anything can generate feelings of anxiety, and not all of them are harmful. However, if your anxiety stops you from doing something, it can hinder you almost every day.
In honor of May being National Anxiety Month, here are three ways to reduce your anxiety.
DAILY EXERCISE Physical activity can increase your self-confidence, improve your mood, help you relax, and lower anxiety symptoms. You don’t have to do anything significant — you can go for a walk, take a hike, conduct at- home workouts, go to the gym for at least 30 minutes, or participate in yoga and Pilates.

attorneys, and her dad even worked in family law for over 40 years. Stephanie enrolled into law school just a few years after graduating college. After finishing law school, she started a family and stayed home with her four wonderful children. Over time, she returned to the workplace and worked as a prosecutor in her home state of Florida. She prosecuted serious criminals but soon realized she was drawn to family law due to her work in domestic violence cases that involved children. Stephanie began working at a family law office in Florida before her husband’s workplace transferred him to Georgia. They relocated, and Stephanie had to retake the bar exam to be able to practice in Georgia after initially passing it 20 years earlier. She passed the bar and began working with another law firm before discovering Vayman & Teitelbaum. Not long after, she made the switch to our office, and we’ve been impressed with her efforts ever since.
There’s nothing that Stephanie enjoys more than helping her clients move on to the next stage of their lives. She’s had to do it herself and knows what it’s like to leave a situation you think will last forever. Stephanie strives to be an inspiration for her clients and prove to them that there is happiness and success after divorce. She’s down-to-earth and accessible to her clients. Stephanie truly cares about her clients and wants them to be as transparent as possible with her so she can put them in the best position going forward. She’s here to be your partner through this process, not your director. Although Stephanie is from Florida, she’s not planning on leaving Georgia any time soon. She loves to garden and has enjoyed growing everything she couldn’t in Florida’s tropical climate. She also enjoys spending time with her four children and husband.
It’s not always easy to figure out what you want to do with your life. Some people graduate from high school and attend college with one major in mind but jump around and explore a few different avenues before deciding on a career path. Others struggle to settle into a career even after joining the workforce. That’s not the case for our attorney Stephanie Weil.
