Remember Stress is a killer – fact

There is hard evidence all around us currently of the effects of stress -

Insomnia

Sore neck

Back pain

Bad posture

Marriage break ups

Headache

Nausea

Suicide

The list is endless and all of us know someone or are falling victim ourselves of this stress spreading across our lives.

I have tried many methods of therapy for back pain and stress relief, being a Nurse and now a Business owner, stress is a part of my daily life.

None of the methods I have tried are complete, life changing or inexpensive.

There is one method I have recently been exposed to which I would highly reccommend for a longer lasting and inexpensive dramatic change to stress management -

This is not something you need to attend every week that will cost an arm and a leg – it can be a one off class followed up with a home based training session via the DVD -

The importance of ‘Time out’

TAKING TIME OUT

TAKING TIME OUT

It’s Friday and the weekend is near – a psychological avantage for those in the Corporate sector – but do remember, no matter how fast your fast lane is, do not underestimate the important of ‘Time out’.

Time out is something we do little of these days as the economic decline increases the pessimism and negativity all around us.

Everyone is worried about the up and coming budget and still reeling from the effects of the last one.

Common questions – how do I meet my deadlines, pay the bills, feed the kids – is my job safe?

We all suffer from bad Time Management and as we can’t find the ‘time’ to do things, how do we find the ‘time’ to have ‘time out’?

Allocate it – it is more important then anything else.

We all need to quickly learn to get out of the fast lane and slow down – even if it is 5 minutes a day.

This is a reality check on today’s society and can become all consuming, if we do not take the important step of having some ‘Time out’, we could get very swallowed up by all the doom and gloom.

It is a well known cliché, if you do not look after yourself, you will be no good for anyone else you look after.

Be it a walk with the dog, a trip in the car, a latté with friends or a good auld chin wag, it has to be done as stress is a killer and builds up tension slowly and dangerously.

Don’t let stress get to you – get to it first -
