happened again? i was given warfarin in the hospital but i wondered if this was the right treatment for me. then my doctor told me about eliquis. eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the risk of them happening again. not only does eliquis treat dvt and pe blood clots, but eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. knowing eliquis had both... turned around my thinking. don't stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. if you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily... and it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. eliquis treats dvt & pe blood clots. plus had less major bleeding. both made switching to eliquis right for me. ask your doctor if it's

"gma" work place contributor tory johnson is here. another number that stood out. more than two-thirds of americans are disengaged from their jobs? jt sounds disturbing, right, as well it should. it should bpt that way. i think it's for a few reasons. we look across the board. we're working longer hours. technology has us connected 24/7. we feel like we always have to be on. other people are feeling urnds or unappreciated. that's made the stress levels incredibly high. and then, for some people, a feeling of being burnt out. sometimes because of those two reasons. so what was once interesting, the kind of work that we do, is not so much anymore. that causes stress to increase. >> if you're one of those people working long hours, who feels underappreciated and is burnt out, as you said, what is your recommendation? >> have a plan "b." the only thing you can do. that means sometimes choosing the lesser of two ooefls. suck it up or stick it out or embark on a sort of job sej that's unenviable. i always choose take control. take action. never resign yourself to unhappiness. there are a couple of people on twitter ho ask erter who asked, am i too old for this? you're never too old to pursue something better. >> how do you go to that plan "b"? >> do a little bit of dreaming. ask yourself, if i could do or be or pursue or work anywhere, i would what? what would that thing be? you can't look for a new job unless you know what you want to look for. don't be panicked in you don't have that answer today. it can take weeks, months to come up with it. if you work at it every day, you can get there. once you know what that is, you can build your resume and look at what is the best i have to offer in connection with with what it is that i seek. rebuild or create your digital identity. start a link ededlinkedin profile. sometimes we think the grass is greener. talk to people who work where you're thinking you might want to work. and so obviously, getting that dream job could take time, as you're putting it all together and getting your plan in order. what do row do in the meantime to feel better about the current situation? >> i think there's two things you can do. first is rethink, in general, rethink how you spend your time outside of work. most times, we want the check out. sleep, watch tv, do nothing. better. i recommend join team. do something like if your community that makes you feel good and it sort of is an important component where people appreciate who you are and what you have to offer. or volunteer. spend one hour once a week giving your time and talent you know it makes a difference and feeling good about what you do i think is critical. do. what about the employer's duty? >> one supereasy thing. i think often times, the boss contributes to the problem but plugs. say thank you genuinely and thank you more often. e we don't hear it enough. too many bosses and managers believe, you know what, you're lucky to have a job and your thanks comes in the form of a paycheck every two weeks. that's a lousy theory in which people. if ever manager and colleagues as well said thank you and really meant it, it's often the difference between a good day, bad day, you know, a lousy job and a good job is feeling that sense of appreciation. >> a lot of good advice. i'm sure it will spark questions. you'll take them on twitter all morning. >> all day. >> thank you. and next up on the heat index, a north carolina yoga expert causing a sensation on social media breaking down stereo types on what it is to be fit. >> she's a self-described fat femme turned yoga guru. she's sharing her poses with followers. she's inspiring yogis of all shapes and sizes. it's an exercise of the body and soul. >> reach your fingertips up toward the ceiling. >> reporter: now a social media guru is hoping to shatter the stereo type that practicing yoga is only for the thin. this 27 yeerl was put off by yoga. >> my first experience with yoga. i was 16 years old. my aunt was into bikram yoga. it was horrible. weight. uncomfortable with my body. >> reporter: years later, she chance. depression. yoga gave her something to hold on to. challenged me. when i started practicing yoeg garks all of the poses were -- they were progressively more difficult. exciting. that kind of excitement translated to other parts of my life. >> reporter: now, yoga enthusiasts flock to her instagram to get inspired. >> that changed the way i thought about weight loss. it took me not caring about losing weight at all to finally lose wait. >> reporter: the self-proclaimed fat femme believers anyone can practice yoga, regardless of size. >> think about how powerful you are. and think about everything that you have achomp lished. just in living your day-to-day life. why would you feel bad about your body when you're so incredibly strong?
