ONE IN FIVE PEOPLE SUFFER STRESS.

ARE YOU?

However hard we try to go beyond a stress situation, life seems to find new ways of stressing us out and plaguing us with anxiety. Moreover, be it our anxiety, mind-body exhaustion or our erring attitudes, we tend to overlook causes of stress and the conditions triggered by those.

OVERLOOKING THE SIGNS OF STRESS?

Cognitive
Memory problems.
Lack of concentration
Poor judgment.
Negative thinking
Anxious or racing thoughts
Constant worrying.

Emotional
Moodiness
Irritability or short temper
Agitation, inability to relax
Feeling overwhelmed
Loneliness and isolation
Depression, unhappiness.


Physical.
Aches/pains.
Diarrhoea or constipation.
Nausea, dizziness.
Chest pain, rapid heartbeat.
Loss of sex drive.
Frequent colds.

Behaviour
Eating more.
Loss of appetite
Sleeping too much /Insomnia
Isolating oneself
Procrastinating
Neglecting responsibilities
Using alcohol, cigarettes, other drugs
Nervous habits.


In such unsettling moments we often forget that stressors, if not escapable, are fairly manageable and treatable.

Unfortunately, today, we don’t get relaxing and soothing situations without asking.
To become relaxed, confident and positive in all situations, you have to develop techniques and attitude.
Stress management is not something you do at weekends. It must be incorporated into your daily life.

learn simple techniques that will help you develop a personal strategy for moving forward.

We offer individual sessions and weekly two hour workshops.
