Question / Issue

Burdened by stress?

Even the strongest battery, you know the one I mean, if it has enough demands made on it will go flat.

So why oh why are we surprised when we put energy out all over the place, take little time to top it up that on occasions our mind feels like a washing machine on hyper spin and someone putting an empty milk cartoon back in the fridge becomes a declaration of war on the domestic front.

Despite so many labour saving devices it appears the pace of life just keeps getting faster and faster and faster!

This can result in distress. Now stress is a natural part of the human condition, ask any new parent getting up during the night to feed their new born baby.

However, distress is when the energy we put out exceeds the energy we are topping ourselves up with.

Often we feel under pressure to put out this energy, if it’s not bad enough we need to manage our expectations of ourselves we also need to manage others expectations of us. if we are capable busy people hey guess what?? They expect more.

RELAX and get a bit of perspective.

You need to learn what relaxation and balance means.

There is heaps of stuff on the internet so we are not going to list it all here take five minutes and have a Google see what you find.

It maybe though you need some one to one advice and there are stress services and stress management services which can help.

So for today do something for you, you do deserve it honestly and it will do you a power of good.
