National Stress Awareness Day

National Stress Awareness Day on 5th November 2008 is an event set up each year by the International Stress Management Association. They focus on a different aspect each year, this is what they had to say......

"Stress can be an insidious build up of many pressures and challenges. Most people are now aware that the big issues in life can be exciting for some and too demanding for others, resulting in stress - redundancy and moving home are just two examples.

This year, National Stress Awareness Day is focusing on the pressures we create ourselves - in particular the 'worrying' habit. Worrying undermines our natural ability to cope and most people admit it is completely ineffective. This both reduces energy and undermines self confidence.

The 'Don't Worry.....Take Action!' campaign is designed to focus on this ineffective behaviour and change it to a positive outcome.

Take Action at home and in the workplace to reduce worry and resolve problems dynamically - creating a healthier and more energetic you!"
