You are responsible for you own health, a natural healer can only teach, you have to be a willing student to make changes necessary. It is not wrong to seek out a natural healer as a teacher and guide, however; only you can apply what is taught to you and make changes necessary.

Knowledge is power, learn it, use it, and apply it to your life to achieve healing. Attitude is everything, change it and apply changes in your life necessary to heal. Make your attitude, your “mental position” a positive one to get results. A positive attitude is a healing attitude! The choice is yours to make.

I wish all of you Much Love and Healing,

Employees can reduce their overall stress by:

· Regularly exercising, as this releases ‘happy hormones’. · Eating a healthy diet, as stress depletes vital nutrients. · Getting adequate rest. · Using tea and lunch breaks to read, listen to a relaxation CD or have a five-minute power-nap. · If appropriate, playing relaxing music at work and burning aromatherapy oils. · Being more organized. Get up earlier to have more time. · Delegating responsibility where possible. Say no! · Taking time out to laugh by telling someone a joke. Start a laughter group: by standing in a circle and all forcing a big laugh, it will soon become real! · Avoiding caffeine and sugar. Although this may provide an instant lift it later depletes body of energy and nutrients. · Taking time to do things that bring enjoyment and pleasure. · Making work environment pleasurable. Have relaxing sounds in form of music or a water fountain. Have enjoyable smells by burning candles or aromatherapy oils. Hang beautiful pictures or posters on walls; have photos or flowers on desk. · Taking care of their overall health and wellbeing by practising good self-care.

Sometimes trying to implement change (even for better) can itself cause stress and prevent a person remaining motivated. In this case it’s important to get support for your stress from a counsellor, doctor, naturopath, friend, peer or life coach who specializes in stress issues.

The benefits of a systematic and joint approach to reducing work stress are:

· Increased productivity · Decrease in absenteeism · Improved morale · Decrease in workers’ compensation claims · Reduction in workplace accidents

The most important benefit in reducing workplace stress is that it will promote a pleasant work environment for all.
