It is no secret that constantly being in a state of stress can make you put on weight and excess fat. But how does that happen? If you know that you may already know things you can do to help you combat stress.
This is the first of a series of pod casts that I will be doing on the topic of stress. Please look out for pod casts that I will be posting on this blog over the next few days. You can feel free to come back and listen to the audio as may times as you like or if you like, you can download them onto your ipod or mp3 player. It is yours to keep.
- What happens to your body when you are stress?
- What does cortisol do to you?

Feel free to leave any comments or questions on the post and I will respond to them as soon as I can.
Enjoy the audio, just click on the image that says “stream M3U” at the bottom left corner of the post or download and listen to it on your ipod or mp3 players. I will see you on the next one.
Freedom To Be Yourself

I was sent a video that has said so much to me that I just wish to pass on the blessings to you. Unfortunately, the video was taken down from YouTube and I am replacing it here with the cloest that I can find. Try to imagine Jonathan Livingston flying in spite of all the fears and doubts he faces. This is where I call upon your imagination and perhpas reading the book too may help. Still enjoy.
I want to fly where no seagull has flown before. I want to know all there is about life… "
"The only true law is that which sets us free "
"Don’t believe what your eyes are telling you. All they see is limitation. Look with your understanding. "
"Every person, all the events of your life, are there because you have drawn them there. What you choose to do with them is up to you. "
Does it not encourage your heart?
I just want to take time to zoom out and get some altitude and reset my bearings.

Time Out For Stress
February 7, 2009
If you are wondering why I have not been writing as I normally would have, that is because I have been making conscious effort to take more rest and have more sleep. You see, of all things I have been told by my doctor that I need to relax and take it easy for my skin problems could be due to this thing called stressed!
"Well, anything that the doctors cannot account for medically they will attribute to stress", that was my initial thought. And isn’t it true? If you have sinus or that you cannot sleep, it is said to be due to stress. If you develop skin allergies or eczema – it is said to be caused by stress. And if you have headache and stiff shoulders or neck, even the massage therapist will tell you that you need to relax and not be too stressed!
So how true is that? Well, before I go around brushing the doctor’s diagnosis away, I need to look into my schedule and see if there is any grounds for what the doctor is saying. I do have to admit that I am not getting enough sleep. And I have also been sleeping too late. And so I am re-looking into my work schedule and life pattern. I am also re-examining some basic self-care structures that I want to put in place to ensure that I will take the rest I need. And I invite you to do the same.
It is so easy to get sucked into work and not realize how you are putting load and burden on your body. So take a step back and look at your schedule today. How many of hours of sleep are you getting? And just how alert are you mentally, intellectually and spiritually? Time for time-out?
