Three words that don’t always go together.

We spend so many hours of each week using stress to push ourselves to achieve and succeed, but there comes the time when our resources are outstripped by the need. Where do we go then?

Options are available: creativity….problem-solving….knee-jerk…..defeat….

Sometimes pure fatigue rules.

There comes a point when you know something has to change. What to do then?

Of the constructive options, stillness is particularly effective.

Stop for a moment. Are you breathing? How long has it been since you’ve taken a deep, deep, lingering breath? Go ahead. Try it.

What do you think?

Now take a moment and feel your breath…just air…flowing in and out.

Enjoy the moment.

Now, back to work.
