In coping with stress and in order to ensure that you take preventative measures (prevention is better than cure!), there are a number of things you can physically do. Remember though, that:
What do people usually do when you have been assertive or said quietly what needs to be said or what was on your mind? They usually do the following…. […]
Introduction
THE office clown has always played a beneficial role in the workplace but with increasing worker sensitivity, cracking a joke with a colleague could be seen as discriminatory or bully-like behaviour. […]

I’ve certainly observed increasing numbers of my clients asking what might be called “eternal questions”. “What am I here for?”, “What legacy can I leave behind?”, “What contribution can I make to the world?”, “How can I be of service?” and “What is my life purpose?” […]
“I wouldn’t dare, or would I? Where is this coming from? Is there something wrong with me? Am I crazy? Am I the only one who thinks like this? Should I tell someone?” […]
It’s not a topic often talked about. From the psychologist’s office though, it is probably true to say that it’s the most necessary thing that client’s often need to do. Forgive.

While it can’t be empirically measured, Dr Wayne Dyer in his book, “Your Sacred Self” has estimated that we ask around 60,000 questions a day!
Now in that myriad of questions that involves both your conscious and unconscious thinking, there is one basic life question that keeps getting asked over and over again. Did you know that you have a basic life question? You may or may not know it, but you do. […]
All you have really got is “now” – the present moment. Now is now.
What on earth do I mean about living in the now? How is this supposed to help in life? […]
Call it what you will. We’ve all been there.
Let’s go over it in more detail. […]
