Have you ever wished for a slower day..?

Or promised yourself that you’ll relax tomorrow, when you’ve some time…?

Chances are the slower day never came, and that ‘tomorrow’ is still a day away. We live at the dawn of the 21st century, and it took most of latter half of the 20th for us to realise that we’ve lost something on the way – an understanding that life, both personal and professional, is supposed to be enjoyed, not endured.

Our collective problem is that stress and stress-related illnesses are now the number one reasons people take time off work. And that costs us all, both in terms of the time we lose personally, unnecessary long-term poor health, the cost of lost productivity and profit and, in some extreme cases, the loss of human life.

There is a different way…

By realising how we respond to stress we can arm ourselves with tools and techniques to combat the pressures of 21st century life in all its forms.

By taking time out on a regular basis we can ensure that we stay in the best possible mental and physical health.

By learning how to relax properly we can make the best of each moment.

By releasing the tensions of the day we allow our bodies to rest properly.

Calm: Personal Stress Management for the 21st Century.

The ‘Calm Sessions’ were put together and trialled during a reorganisation in a large multinational company, so we know they work. We use a gentle combination of information and techniques from conventional and complimentary sources to make sure each participant gains an understanding of some of the mental, emotional and physical aspects of stress and calm, how to give themselves a head-start in achieving balance, and how to manage their own state more effectively.

And all with the aim of making life more like life is supposed to be…

Now, this isn’t for everyone.

But if you are ready for something better, get in touch - today!

SLEEP & WEIGHT ARE LINKED

In recent research published by scientists at Standford and Wisconsin Universities, a definite link between the amount of sleep you get and your appetite has been found. People who get 8 hours sleep (the amount that we recommend on the 'Calm Sessions') have a significantly lower appetite and lower body mass than those who get 5 or 6 hours.

For more information, read this article on the Public Library of Science.

Yet another reason for making sure you get a good night's sleep!

THOUGHTS FROM ICEANDLEMON

"True calm is a not an elusive place, or an absense of stress; it is a state of mind that pervades and underpins every moment of life, providing a viewpoint from which all experiences can be seen, not for what we wish they were or fear them to be, but as they truly are."
