With stress being so fashionable these days – “I’m just so busy (and stressed), daaahhling …” – it’s easy for workplaces to inadvertently foster a culture of pressure, rushing and busy-ness. Plus, whilst most people would say they understand stress is ‘bad’ for us, we still live in a society (and business environment) where it is tolerated to a ... [Read On]
Why stress is not a performance state
For so many people right now, managing stress continues to be a real challenge. Having good tools is essential to stress management - and actually it's not about managing stress, it's about transforming it.

What’s better than watching TV with your feet up?
One night recently I was sitting watching my second episode of the Big Bang Theory after dinner, silently ignoring a little niggle inside that was saying “This isn’t really hitting the spot. It’s not really what I need.” Fast forward two weeks and I’m sitting on the couch at home wondering about putting on a movie after a delicious dinner of ... [Read On]
A fresh take on dealing with depression and anxiety
Allison used to describe herself as ‘slightly depressive’. Outwardly to many people she was cheerful, friendly and successful. Close friends knew she had the odd low moment, although they didn’t know how often those moments came along. She’d feel ridiculous if they knew.

And is your daily experience of life what you want it to be ... [Read On]
Why our HUMUNGOUS GOALS give us the willies
Yes, it seems we do commit ourselves to HUMUNGOUS GOALS that essentially give us the willies every time we think of them - and leave us wondering why we didn't achieve them last year, or why we keep procrastinating about them this year.

5 smartphone tips to not be without these hols
Holy rollerblades, are there still a lot of people still playing slave to their technology. Just last night I was at a Chamber of Commerce event talking to a friend’s husband and he was looking at his phone as his emails flashed up on the screen. I don't like to sound like a bleeding coach when I'm socialising, but needless to say I couldn't resist ... [Read On]

More on how to beat overwhelm at work
What I notice for a lot of people wanting to beat overwhelm, lower their stress and feel more control in their day, is that they’re not taking that control.
