Stress and Anxiety

Many people think of stress as being a negative and damaging force in their lives. However, we all need a certain level of positive stress to enable us to perform and achieve.

It is when stress levels become too high to be manageable that the problems can start.

Symptoms of High Stress

Some of the symptoms of high stress levels can be:

• Anxiety
• Depression
• Sleeplessness
• Hypochondria
• Alcohol abuse
• Gambling
• Overuse of medication

You may also find that your interest in activities previously enjoyed, may diminish, that you have muscle and joint pain and a general decreased pleasure in life.

Stress and Anxiety Management

It may be that we can do little to change outside influences that create stress, however we can change our responses, behaviour and perceptions towards these influences, enabling us to lower stress levels and create a healthy balance.

At Lynwode Manor we offer an educational retreat designed to relax, educate and facilitate the changes you may need to make in reducing the overstress that may be adversely affecting your life in all areas.
