November Meeting Recap

Clinical psychologist Dr. Paula Bloom was the speaker at November’s Freelance Forum meeting to discuss the mental health and self-awareness of freelancers. Because freelancers often lead a fairly solitary work life, Bloom believes it is very important for freelancers to be very aware of thoughts and balance when things get stressful. Keeping a routine that includes plenty of sleep and exercise, she says, can help freelancers keep things in check when deadlines loom and stress levels rise.

Bloom is in private practice in Decatur, and she also is a blogger for www.pbs.org and a frequent contributor on CNN. Visit her website and blog at http://paulabloom.com/ to learn more.
