So if you've ever suffered from skin complaints or perhaps too many colds, it could very well be results of stress. I don't want to scare you death or give you any more stress, I just want you to - think.

Now let's look at Body Energy -

So what about body stress? The body and brain are linked together so when brain drains of energy so does body. However body does a lot of running about, up and down off seat and often takes a bit of a battering. For it to work well, it needs to be in good condition in first place. We should all know by now that if we eat too much or eat wrong things, smoke too much or drink too much alcohol, then our body is in danger of breaking down.

Again it comes back to programming. I often tell people that I eat a lot of salad. The response - "Salad is boring." - Not way I make it, it isn't; I put all sorts of things into a salad other than green ingredients - chillies, sun blush tomatoes, anchovies, tuna, sardines, chicken, olives, cheese, sausage etc. Not all at once of course, I like a bit of variation on theme. So open up your mind and open up fridge but be careful what you take out. Remember - you won't get an ulcer from what you eat - you'll get it from what's eating you.

If you want to be successful in business, then you're going to have to do some exercise. Now I know you think you don't have time. You may also be type that doesn't want to go to gym and lift heavy things or leap about in an aerobics class; however, you need to take some exercise that makes you sweat a little. I'm sorry, but a round of golf doesn't count, it isn't kind of exercise you need. Golf is great and it's good for stress but it doesn't make you sweat.

If you're going to walk then walk fast for a distance, enough to push up heart rate and increase breathing. (And don't run round golf course with your clubs on your back - that's going too far.)

Again, get your internal program right and start to think how you can make your exercise enjoyable. I see some people at health club making whole business a real chore. They get on a bike or a rowing machine and try to kill themselves for twenty minutes. If that's your thing then fine but please don't make it a chore, plug into sound system and catch up with what's on TV.

I like to do circuit classes with a whole group of people many of which have become friends. I enjoy chat beforehand, music and exercise. (And I also like fact - there are more girls than guys)

If you're really not into exercise then please make sure you have other activities outside of your workplace and make them fun. Too many people are going home and slumping in front of TV - successful people don't do that.

So look after body and brain and you'll have lots of vroom!

In studies of twins and family members, researchers have determined that genetics does play some role in development of an anxiety disorder. But life experience is also certainly a factor.
