People have been asking me in the last few weeks if I'm seeing a lot of stressed out clients from Wall Street.  I actually don't have a lot of clients in that sector, but of course everyone in NYC will be affected by the large-scale changes in that industry which is so close to home.  Maybe we can learn a lesson from India - recently a survey which included 400 Indian CEO's revealed that "128 of them get rid off their stress through yoga, gym, cycling, music and a morning stroll."  The survey also found that a "significant number of the corporate chiefs are also moving towards ayurvedic treatments like naturopathy, massage, acupuncture and acupressure."   (Interesting that they consider acupuncture an ayurvedic treatment, but that's beside the point!  Ayurveda is the traditional medicine of India.)  Hopefully we'll see our CEO's following this lead.
