Chronic stress is caused by a lot of small pressures building over time. It usually happens to good people trying to do good things for their families, friends and work colleagues.
In How to Be Our Best Self in Times of Chronic Stress, the reader is guided gently to recognise the signs of chronic stress and to take small but vital steps to address its symptoms.
People experiencing chronic stress often do not have the time or financial resources to engage with long-term therapy or lengthy treatments. With a compassionate approach, this book highlights the miracle of tiny interventions in a day packed with pressures and deadlines. It offers practical and easy-to-follow steps that can be readily incorporated into even the most hectic lifestyle.
This book can be dipped into a page or chapter at a time. It can be kept on a car seat or a desk as a constant reminder that a life of striving and trying to keep up can be balanced with a life of thriving and moments of reprieve. Even in the midst of a very stressful life you can still be your best self.
