signs and symptoms of stress

Are you Open or Closed Minded?

Being open-minded can sometimes be really tough. Most of us are brought up with a set of values and tend to surround ourselves with people who think in a similar way to ourselves and share the same values. Therefore it can be a problem when faced with ideas that challenge our own, even though, cognitively, we know we should be more open to them.

Charm Alone Won’t Get You to the Top!

Do good looks and charm really get you to where you want to be? I know that I am drawn to an attractive, good looking child and I think to myself ‘that child will be successful in life’. But is that all it takes? Probably not, but it may well help to climb the career ladder.

Experiencing Stress & Anxiety? Respect maybe the key…

Do you experience stres & anxiety because of a lack of respect from others? ‘Treat others, as you would want them to treat you!’ How many times do we hear this being said? We say it to our children and hope that they will remember it for the rest of their lives. We all know that to earn respect, we must first give respect and, of course, give it to ourselves as well, for if you don’t respect yourself, then no-one else will respect you.

Relieve Stress by Being More Positive

Relieve stress by being more positive. Everybody feels ‘down’ sometimes, but those negative feelings usually don’t last long. Life is not a straight line for anyone. Life is like a sine wave, it goes up and down and there are peaks and troughs. To be reasonably happy with our life is usually the default position, but if things go wrong over a period of time, then that position can change.
