We all experience stress and anxiety 🫣

When it reaches the extent that makes normal day-to-day functioning difficult, it is not considered healthy.

Here are some common but scary symptoms of anxiety to look out for:
👻 Restlessness
👻 Excessive worrying
👻 Fatigue
👻 Difficulty concentrating
👻 Panic attacks
👻 Increased heart rate
👻 Muscle tension
👻 Tummy issues
👻 Social withdrawal

But there’s hope! There are many techniques that can help you improve your experience with- and resilience to stressors and consequent anxiety.

Don’t let anxiety haunt you.

At this time of Diwali, I reflect back on my recent trip to the north of India.

I was incredibly humbled by this experience. Rich culture, an abundance of faith, and wonderful lessons in life are just a few small gifts from these wonderful people.

Hindu philosophy extends the four guiding principles for living a balanced and fulfilled life:

🪷 Dharma - to conduct oneself in a way conducive to spiritual advancement, fulfilling your moral duties and responsibilities in life.
🪷 Artha - the pursuit of prosperity, emphasising the importance of career, skills, health, and wealth.
🪷 K**a - enjoyment, which includes love, pleasure and emotional fulfillment
🪷 Moksha - the liberation from the attachments caused by dependence on the material world and from the cycle of birth and rebirth

Thank you for the incredibly rich experience, India, and for the reminder to live life to the fullest.

Happy Diwali to those celebrating. May the divine light of Diwali spread into your life, bringing peace, prosperity and happiness ✨
