I saw a shocking infographic today about the effects of stress; as someone who lives with illnesses which are without doubt exaccerbated by the S-word, it shocks me to think how much stress we put on our systems.
Right now I am having to take an enforced step back after an extremely busy period of work. But, as is often the case, I tend to need to step back when it's time to re-evaluate things a little.
The things that matter most in my life are these guys - Eva and Mia. Without them, I would not be able to cope at all with how awful I often feel, and for them I always do my best.
The world of children is just such an beautiful balm to the grown up place we live in. It's full of stories, magic, endless imagination, play, and love.
Isn't that a much better place to hang out?

ReplyDeleteThought-provoking graphic abt your stress levels, thanks to @dexdiva - http://t.co/pb2WyUNASW Do you have a "get mellow" strategy?
ReplyDeleteGreat post! Stress is such an interesting subject, mostly because you don't know that you're getting stressed or you're about to burn out - until you do.
ReplyDeleteI wonder what part technology has to play in it all. I mean our lives - in theory - should be easier. We can bank/shop/work/socialise all on line but we're still running around at 100 mph and seem to be more stressed than ever!
