The increase in anxiety as we count down!

Have you noticed that people are becoming more anxious than usual? It seems OK to most people that around this time of the year we build up to the festive season with the frantic round of shopping and parties, in most cases to drop and often succumb to illness during the time off.

Why not make this year different. Do it slower, spend less money and enjoy every day. After all for most people, Christmas or whatever you wish to celebrate during the winter solstice season, is just another day to survive. Think of the homeless, the jobless and children who will receive very little this year. Think of the planet and the waste that we will all be part of.

Let this year be the first one that we can all say "I tried to be a better person" rather than "I want". This very change of emphasis will reduce your anxiety, bring down your blood pressure and save you three weeks of worry.
