Summer is supposed to be fun and relaxing. Right? Well, maybe that hasn’t been the case for you lately. Perhaps you intended to take it easy this past June, unwinding by the pool, enjoying a day trip or two, maybe even launching a creative summer project… But then, life got in the way. You may be making that difficult post-graduation switch from college life to the working world. If you have kids, summer sports and other activities may be jamming your schedule. No matter what’s filling your calendar, chances are, the relentless activity and summer heat have left you feeling pretty exhausted.
