Making the Case for Self-Care


The Shocking Facts
- Studies have shown that stress causes up to 80% of illness
- Constant exposure to stress daily stress with little respite has been linked to anxiety, insomnia,depression, relationship issues and disease
- Research shows stress also impacts your ability to produce wealth by reducing your energy levels, affecting your work performance, adversely, reducing your self-esteem and playing havoc with your general health
- Ever increasing numbers of people are reporting feeling anxious about money, overwhelmed, or simply flat

In my practice and in my personal life, self care serves 2 functions; one is to counteract the impact of the daily demands that may reach a level called “stress”, the other is as a preventative measure.  
Self care is restorative and protective in its effects even in minutes a day.
