Are you stressed?

This is an excerpt from my book, Unleash your full potential, on the dangers of stress.  I will be posting more information over the coming weeks.

STRESS – THE BIGGEST PROBLEM OF THE 21ST CENTURY


Our modern life is full of hassles, deadlines, frustrations, and demands. With the failing economy, trying to keep your job and support your family, you rush around until exhaustion.  For many people, stress is so commonplace that it has become a way of life and you seem to be on a continual treadmill that you can’t get off.  People even seem to be addicted to stress and spend their time trying to prove that they are more stressed than anybody else they know! However, stress isn’t always bad for you and in small doses, it can help you perform under pressure and motivate you to do your best, get a project in on time or perform brilliantly at a presentation.

10 golden rules for releasing stress

Thou shall not be perfect or even attempt to be

Thou shall not try to be all things to all people

Thou shall not leave undone things that ought to be done

Thou shall not spread thyself too thin

Thou shall learn to say no without guilt

Thou shall schedule time for thyself

Thou shall have something to look forward to every day

Thou shall sometimes be slack, idle and inelegant!

Thou shall have a little indulgence every day eg a piece of chocolate

Thou shall embrace the present and let go of the past

But when you’re constantly running in emergency mode, your mind and body pay the price. You can protect yourself by recognizing the signs and symptoms of stress and taking steps to reduce its harmful effects.  This book is full of techniques, natural remedies, supplements and advice on how to recognize this stress, heal it and then to keep it at bay.
