Christmas can be the most stressful time of the year. With 4 children and a large family to cater for, I know how stressful it can be, but it doesn't have to be this way... If you follow my eight-step guide to ‘de-stressing' your Christmas then it just might become one of the most relaxing times of the year.

If you have children, you’ll know a thing or two about the extremes of emotion that children feel and display. Even if you don’t have children you’ll no doubt have some appreciation of how they work through these emotions. We’ve all seen the parents struggling in the Supermarket with a screaming toddler in tow, and many of us have had to face judgement from others when it’s our child that is screaming the roof off in Tesco’s.

Our new mindfulness and meditation workshops hit Wisbech on Saturday 5th January. And what a fantastic first session we had! Eighteen of you attended, and we spent a lovely two hours talking about mindfulness, meditation and what you would be able to learn and achieve along the way. It was wonderful to see all of the new connections being made in the room and to have some social time worked in amongst the activities. 

Managing Worry and Anxiety

Worry. We all do it. Some of us seem to do it professionally! Worrying can be helpful when it spurs you to take action and solve a problem. I get a great deal of work done when I’m worrying over the to-do list. However, unrelenting worry, the constant niggling of worrying thoughts, can paralyze you, keeping you rooted to the problem and preventing you from moving forward.
