N Good Health has you covered with “Take 3 for Me,” a video series offering quick opportunities to pause and reflect on your emotional wellness. Each video in this series is roughly three minutes long and offers a unique approach to combatting stress.

All nine Take 3 for Me videos can be found on the Norton Healthcare YouTube channel. You can also access the playlist by scanning the below QR code:
