National Stress awareness day

I missed the awareness day because I was working in London with people who are stressed!!!

Stress is good though, and we all need to experience it from time to time because it is what keeps us safe. Imagine if you never ever felt stressed? You might drive down the road at 90 miles an hour because you could and would never be worried about the consequences.

It is HOW you handle stress that matters. If you recognise your job or home life is stressful, but know there is little you can do about the situation, then it is important how you handle it, and what you do to relieve high stress points. If your body is at full stress level all day, which means that you are producing stress chemicals in your body, and then you go home to even more stress, then all those chemicals are rushing round your body 24/7.

There is so much information about how to deal with stress. Two things I recommend:

Deep breathing several times per day for five minutes. You may feel dizzy but that will be because your brain is receiving more oxygen than usual which is a good thing, and secondly, experience hypnosis which slows down your brain waves, (scientific fact) and therefore you are able to process information more easily.
