Following on from my post on Christmas stress relief, I thought I’d share with you what has worked/is working for me this year so that you too can revel in the same heady delights of stress free-ness (is that a word?  Probably should change it to get the on page SEO right   ) as I have [...]

It’s that time of year again and I cannot believe how quickly the year has flown by.  I like to buy myself a week-to-view diary/journal and take time to write the important dates in it, transferring them carefully from my old diary.  It’s not hi-tech, not the most efficient use of time and there are [...]

For example, most people would feel the pressure of undertaking a tough project at work which had short deadlines at exactly the time our child fell ill. Or how about juggling [...]

I wonder how many people take stress relief seriously.  Sure, stress can lead to many serious, even fatal health conditions, can put untold pressure into already strained relationships and can cause untold misery as sufferers get pigeon-holed into desperate situations as they become blinkered to realizing their full potential (if you want help on this [...]

Many people assume that stress is a fact of life – that children do not experience it and that occasional overbearing stress is just a way of adult life.  But is are these truths or myths?
