Busy? Stressed? Downright frazzled?
To be honest, who isn’t?
In years gone by stress was something more often than not only suffered by people who were top level executives, now most of us suffer with it in varying degrees.
Road Rage, exams, day to day rushing around, traffic, public transport, co-workers, appointments, bosses, family – all of these, and more, can contribute to feelings of stress.
How many times do you think to yourself ‘I need a holiday’, ‘I need a break’, ‘if only I could get away for a day or two – or more’ and how many times to you hear someone else say something along the same lines.
Of course, if you have the facilities available, you can throw your hands up in the air, buy a ticket somewhere and get away from it all, but the feelings of stress will not go away overnight and more than likely they will return the same day you return from your get away.
The solution – change your lifestyle! Look after your physical and mental health and you are sure to reduce (and possibly even eliminate) your feelings of stress and then be able to better enjoy every level of your life.
The experts in travelling well, Lonely Planet, have produced a new book 101 Ways to Live Well – which provides tangible solutions to the stresses and strains of everyday life.
101 Ways to Live Well ditches the generic, one-size-fits-all approach and embraces the targeted, let’s-get-this-sorted attitude, with tips from experts covering everything from craving-crushing snacks and yoga twists to stimulate digestion, and mindfulness exercises to help you sleep better.
