Christmas Calm or a Festive Frenzy?

Are you experiencing some Christmas calm or festive frenzy?

It’s the time of year that we like to think of as a time of calm, peace and goodwill towards all. But all to easily it can be a time of frantic activity especially if it falls to you to organise sending of cards, buying and wrapping of presents, food shopping , cooking…the list of ‘to do’ can seem endless.

Expectations seem to get higher and higher to create the ‘perfect Christmas’ and so it is not surprising that many find Christmas to be one of the most stressful times of the year. Children over-excited, the supermarkets are a nightmare (do we really need so much food?) and then there is the extended family to visit.

It’s all too easy to get caught up in a hectic schedule leaving no time for you….yes you do need to put time aside for you to re-charge those batteries and just relax!. It’s especially important if you often feel that you are running ‘on empty’ or easily get tired and irritable. All signs of a high stress load and such stressors have a cumulative effect on our bodies.

At an Eat Breathe Love workshop we take a closer look at how the many varied stressors of modern living can add up and start to affect the quality of our lives. We help you understand how important loving and caring for yourself and give you plenty of motivation and suggestions to help you

So if Christmas is not a time of peace and calm for you why not book onto our next Eat Breathe Love workshop.

Here’s what some of the ladies from our last workshop said about the day:

“A fantastic day to look, reflect and focus on yourself”

Claire Boarer

“An excellent workshop with valuable information to survive life today”

Maria Wilson

“Lots of little gems of knowledge to help the future sparkle more”

Ashley Mills

“Today was a very uplifting day, very informative, lovely relaxed atmosphere, fantastic therapies”

Liz Elder

Next workshop: Saturday 9th February. Make time for yourself, it’s so important!

Some Eat Breathe Love festive tips:

If you are in a festive frenzy why not:

Delegate.  All too easy to feel you must do everything yourself, ask the children, your partner, visiting family to lend a hand.

Take time out, run a warm bath, add some bubbles and some Epsom salts (contains magnesium; a great relaxing mineral), light a few candles and relax.

Happy Christmas!

What A Year It Has Been!

ebl-logo2a3.jpg

Wow, Eat Breathe Love has had a fantastic year.  We have now held 4 workshops and the feedback has been fantastic!
Now we’ve celebrated our first birthday we would like to say a big thank you to all our wonderful customers.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

It all started because in our own areas of expertise we were seeing a growing number of ladies struggle  with low energy and a feeling of being overwhelmed by the sheer pace of life and the ‘juggling’ of different roles and commitments.

 We brought together our different areas of expertise to create a full day workshop and on-going programme designed to help ladies regain their natural energy and enthusiasm for life.  After all Eating, Breathing and Loving are 3 absolute essentials for a happier, healthier life.

The workshops are a great mix of facts and simple, practical advice and we have been delighted by how well past workshops have been received. There is a clear need for a better understanding of how stress may be quite silently undermining our health and wellbeing as it gives the motivation to make changes.  We find that when women leave our workshops they are motivated and inspired to take action, and we give them plenty of ideas as to where to start making a difference.

 The 5th workshop is on Saturday 9th February 9.30 am – 5pm at the fabulous Foxhills in Ottershaw. The day includes a healthy lunch and all refreshments and offers fantastic value at £97.

Better still, you can BRING A FRIEND FOR HALF PRICE and there are also FREE guest pass to the Foxhills Spa (worth £40) for you and your friend. 

Not surprisingly places are filling up fast, so if you are interested, please speak to one of the team soonest or book online at:

Is Your Work Bad For Your Health?

Recently the Chartered Institute of Personal Development (CIPD) published the results of their 2011 survey into workplace absences revealing that stress was now the primary cause of long term sickness.  Shocking? Yes;  Surprising? No.  Like many practitioners in the field of health and wellness, Janet, Judith and Rhona know that stress is one of the biggest underlying causes of poor health.  It may severely affect quality of life and research clearly shows that left unchecked it leads to more serious illnesses such as heart disease, some cancers and depression.

We live our lives at an ever increasing pace that is putting far more demands on our bodies than they were ever designed to cope with. Dr James Wilson, describes stress as the 21st century syndrome in his book ‘Adrenal Fatigue’ published back in 2001, he was not wrong but now I believe we can add that it is a 21st century epidemic.

Stress is a natural response of our bodies and not a problem in small doses; it’s when the body faces constant stress that the body may start to suffer. Stresses add up and an overload can lead to a painful set of physical, mental and emotional symptoms. At first you may feel ‘tired and wired’ then later constantly exhausted. The body will give you lots of early warning signs as it becomes out of balance but it is easy to mistake them for something else.

 The CIPD survey focussed on the stresses of the workplace as though this was the main and only cause of this epidemic.  It can be a big factor, especially in the current climate with fears over job security, but there are so many more stressors that may affect us. Some are obvious some less so.  What is important to understand is that the effects of stress are cumulative.  If, for example, worries at work were the only stressor the body would probably cope.  However, if the body has been experiencing other stresses such as poor food choices, lack of sleep, striving for perfection (yes these can all be stressors) then the outcome may be very different. Fatigue, anxiety, depression may follow and long term health consequences can really be quite severe.

Are you aware of the stressors in your life?

Is stress affecting your quality of life?

Do you know how you can prevent/control stress overload?

Are you suffering from some of the signs/symptoms of out of control stress?  

 The good news is that you can take control.

The Eat Breathe Love workshop especially designed for women can show you how. Simple changes to the way you eat and breathe as well as addressing some of our emotional baggage we all carry can help restore balance and re-energise your life.

 Do join us on Saturday 12th November in Woking
