Some sound advice here, Susan. I particularly like the “not making mountains out of molehills” suggestion. So often we make things so important and stressful when there is no need.

Hi Susan,

Thank you so much for your stress advice. I am actually a “work at home mum” but I can take some of the points you suggest and incorporate it into home life. It is funny how home life can be just as stressful as work life!

I get extremely anxious and over whelmed when I feel like I have too much to do and not enough time, and regarding delegating I wish I could but the 2 year old is not quite that good just yet

This may sound funny, but a good shower with the water flowing over me is the best relaxing tool for me, plus I always get my best ideas there. Only problem is with water restrictions I can only enjoy 4 minutes!!

Kind Regards

Steve –

I agree totally about the corporate stress! Me too! But as someone who has to actively pursure stress relief I feel a bit envious of your laid back attitude. Something I’ve never been good at!

Hi Susan, brilliant tips. My favourite is ‘take time out’ as I find that works particularly well for me. Thanks for sharing.

Enjoy the journey.
