With tomorrow being Father's Day, I thought it would be interesting to look at all the male designers who've managed to take the fashion world by storm all while helping to raise a family!
Best known for his active wear and Polo collection, Ralph Lauren has three children; Andrew, Dylan and David. Out of the three only daughter Dylan has followed in her fathers footsteps making her career at Polo.
Rag & Bone
Both David Neville and fashion partner Marcus Wainwright, the designers behind the brand,are proud fathers. David has two kids, Dash & Grey with Revlon's creative director Gucci Westman and last year Marcus became a proud father of a little girl born the morning of their Fall 2012 show!
Winner of the CFDA's Menswear Designer of the Year for 2012, Billy Reid has three children; Abigail, Walton and Madeleine. Reid splits his time between New York City and a small town in Alabama where his children live.
Tommy Hilfiger
Fashion designer Tommy Hilfiger has five kids, the most recent being a son born in September 2009. Out of the five only Ally Hilfiger has followed in her father's footsteps creating her own label NAHM, a collection of dreamy shirt-dresses she co-designs with partner Nary Manivong.
Although recently departed, it wouldn't seem right to talk about designer dads without mentioning Ottavio Missoni. Along with his wife Rosita he created the Missoni label back in 1953, since then it has not only become a major fashion house but a family affair. All three children; Vittorio, Angela and Luca assume control of Missoni and his granddaughter Margherita designs accessories. Ottavio didn't just have a family he created a fashion dynasty!
Being the child of a fashion designer must have some really great perks, (all those great clothes!) but it must also have its down side. Raising a family all while creating designs, running a business and putting together fashion shows a lot of family time must have been sacrificed for it. So on behalf of all those who love these designer and all the other designer dads not mentioned, we owe your family a huge 'thank you' for if it wasn't the support of their family all these amazing clothes might not have been created.
Whether hes a fashion designer, a welder, lawyer or whatever else he is always first and foremost our dad! The first man a little girl every loves and the first hero to a little boy. For all they do for us, show your daddy some love tomorrow!

Ah, the Dragon Boat Festival. I hadn't ever heard of a Dragon Boat Festival until I was looking at my historical society book and noticed it. Once I saw the word Dragon, attendance became a Must. I mean, how can any real traveler avoid an event with the word Dragon in it. Especially if you're American. Dragons? Seriously I couldn't live with myself if I didn't attend such an event.
So, I found a place to park and made my way towards the venue and quite soon met a band making their way to the Park to play. They were stopping in at a local pub to prepare and invited me but I was intent on seeing the festivities and continued on. As is the case with virtually every place I visited in England, the city was neat, clean, orderly and bustling with activity.
I finally reached the riverbanks and park where the festival was taking place and it was lined with vendors selling hand made goods as well as the normal festival foods. I walked the outer area to get a view of the goods for sale and found quite a few interesting things. There was wine, cheese, wooden goods, candles, jellies, meats, you name it and someone had a home made version. I purchased some of the local fares and proceeded into the main grounds to see what was going on.
As I approached the river the races were underway and I noticed that there were a variety of boats, some appeared to be made in a garage and were not actually boats. There were actually boats of various types but the most interesting races seem to be the ones with contraptions that floated and were filled with groups of people paddling furiously.
I'm not sure how the winner is determined as I didn't actually see any team cross the finish line although I'm sure they did but it looked like fun. I think the point is actually the fun of it and not actually winning. You can see by the pictures that there was a stage for performers, boat races and a mob of people wandering about.
I turned out to be great fun and everyone was friendly during the time I wandered around, especially when they realized I was an American.
The venue was filled with people just lounging around in a campground type atmosphere.
As you can see the boats were of a variety of types, some traditional and some made in a garage.
There was a paved walkway that snaked around the perimeter and at one point you come upon the main entry way.
The sound stage was busy all day with bands of various types playing all day.
There was something for everyone. There were boat races, inflatable rides for the kids, places to lay out, enjoy the day, eat or whatever.
There appeared to be many categories of boat races during the day. I saw traditional boats that hold one or more people as well as some conglomerations that floated and could technically be called boats as they did float.
Something I particularly liked about England were all the staged events by Knights and Dragons as you can see here as they prepare for another event. We don't have this type of thing in the states or at least I'm unaware of it so these types of things are quite interesting.
Anyhow, I had a great time and if you're ever in England, be sure to attend something with Knights dragons and boats. A great time was had by all.
Have a look at some of the many pictures I took

They say that new skills are best learned by first seeing, then doing. That's exactly what the International Society of Feline Medicine (ISFM), the veterinary division of cat charity International Cat Care, is aiming to do with its new cat and client skills training programme. "Developing Cattitude: A Feline-Friendly Approach to Cats and Their Owners" has been launched to help veterinary practices in developing a sensitive approach to cat handling, essential to the ISFM Cat Friendly Clinic programme, as well as delivering a five-star service to cat owners. The one-day seminar, delivered to a small group of attendees, is practically-focused and combines workshops, discussion and video-training techniques to help attendees see, learn and then repeat best practice back in their clinics.
The programme has been developed by ISFM together with customer service training provider Onswitch, led by Alison Lambert, and Feline Specialist and Co-Director of the Oxford Cat Clinic, Martha Cannon. Delivered on board Bertha the Onswitch training bus, the course is aimed at all veterinary practice staff who want to excel at cat care and decrease the stress of cats visiting or being hospitalised in their clinics.
ISFM Trustee and Veterinary Advisory Panel Member, Martha explains, "We wanted to develop a learning programme that took attendees right through a feline-specific customer journey, taking in all aspects: from the client's first encounter with the clinic reception staff, to their experience in the waiting room, through their consultation with the vet or nurse, and critically, addressing the feline-friendly attitude and cat handling skills that every practice member should demonstrate. Getting every step right results in a calmer, less-stressed cat that is more likely to be brought for veterinary attention when it needs it.
"Uniquely, we wanted this course to teach both the 'soft' skills of communication and customer care, alongside practical skills to be used every day. The small group focus and video-training platform proved ideal for this. We have filmed some of our lovely volunteer cats allowing themselves to be handled in common practice scenarios, while really paying attention to decreasing stressors: being coaxed/lifted out of baskets, undergoing gentle, stress-free clinical examinations, enjoying allo-grooming techniques, being held for (mocked-up) blood sampling and more. There is also a discussion on what to do when the cat isn't happy, and the vet or nurse is under pressure for time. We know so much now about cat handling and what to avoid, that even those who have been practising for many years will benefit from this training.
"On the customer care side, Onswitch's extensive video library of client feedback allows us to look at the needs of the cat owners themselves and we get real insight into what distinguishes one practice from another in their eyes. We'll send attendees home with extremely valuable insights that are easy-to-share with their practice colleagues and that they can get going with straight away. I'd encourage anyone who wants to really champion the care of cats within their practice to come along."
The Developing Cattitude courses will commence on the 29th of July, with an initial run of three days in Milton Keynes, Huntingdon and Stafford. There are just 10 places available for each day, which delivers 5 hours of certifiable CPD. The full programme can be viewed on www.icatcare.org/learn/vets/cattitude, and booking is available online at www.tickettailor.com/all-tickets/15/0a09/. The day costs £285 + VAT per person, and includes lunch, handouts and CPD certificates.

Martha has a life-long love of cats and has spent a number of years specialising in their treatment and care. Martha worked at the "feline centre" in the University of Bristol department of veterinary medicine and has gained extra qualifications in small animal medicine.

About Alison LambertBVSc MMRS MRCVS
Following qualification as a veterinary surgeon from Liverpool University, Alison Lambert entered practice and worked in small animal practice for several years prior to leaving to pursue a business career, first with Hills Pet Nutrition and then MARS.
As Founder and Managing Director of Onswitch, Alison and her team are constantly provoking new thoughts and ideas for the animal care professions in their relationships with the consumers who have cared for animals in their lives.
Central to the work that Onswitch does is the evidence that consumers with pets are behaving less like "clients" and, more and more like "shoppers". Their decision making is driven by convenience factors and the concept of a loyal and bonded pet owner is less and less likely.
Alison is a visiting lecturer at Nottingham University Vet School covering customer understanding and she has spoken at WSAVA, BSAVA, BEVA, VPMA, BVNA and various other animal health meetings.

Driving on a street near my home, I saw a man sitting on a bench; he had white hair with a tiny pony tail. This kind of thing made me think that he was making a statement, and such people are often open to being photographed. So I quickly found a parking spot and approached him, and sure enough he had no reservations.
(click to enlarge)
I asked if he worked nearby, and he pointed to a small retail shop and said, "that's mine".
(click to enlarge)
Geno has had four retail stores in the area over the past 20 years. I told him that when I hear that name, I think of it being Italian, and spelled Gino. Actually his name is Eugene, and Geno is a nickname. I said that Gino's sounds like a pizza place. He said that he never sold pizza, but he did have a deli in Maryland before he moved to Florida.
Eugene doesn't let grass grow under his feet!

Weddings and honeymoons abroad can provide the perfect epilogue to your engagement. I believe that travel abroad is the best way to get a marriage off on the right foot; it's amazing how much of a fresh perspective one gets when they remove themselves from their day to day situation. While abroad, you face a different set of challenges, challenges will help strengthen and define your marriage for years to come from.
Having said that, I'd like to offer some recommendations to those looking for weddings and honeymoons abroad:
Thailand. This was a big part of our honeymoon in Southeast Asia. It is one of the most beautiful countries, with high mountain passes in the north, and breathtaking beaches in the south. If you, like many newlyweds, are running on a shoestring budget, Thailand offers more value than most; in fact, budget conscious couples can live on thirty to forty dollars a day if they travel slowly. My wife and I arrived in Bangkok, and journeyed south to Koh Samui for the diving. After three weeks of snorkeling, diving, and watching some truly gorgeous sunsets, we headed north to Chiang Mai, then off to spend the next ten days trekking in the mountains. I can not recommend Thailand very much enough for weddings and honeymoons (or any trip abroad, for that matter).
Mexico. Many Americans go for the warm ocean waters of Mexico for their honeymoons. Cancun is always a popular choice, but is way too touristy for my taste. If you are into diving, Cozumel is a beautiful alternative to Cancun, with more locals, great diving, and countless places to party. If you're looking for more relaxation than adventure, this is the place for you.
Hawaii. These islands in the Pacific have been an oasis for travelers for decades. There's something to be said for the Hawaiian lifestyle; studies have shown Hawaiians live on average two more years than any other American. For those of you looking to visit, I recommend two islands in particular: Oahu, home to the infamous Waikiki beach, and Maui, which is better suited to folks looking to lounge about, catch some rays, and maybe do some swimming, If you 're looking for nightlife, Waikiki is the place to go.
These three destinations are all great places for weddings and honeymoons abroad.

How To Improve Your Concentration In Time For The New Academic Year
With more and more apps and messaging services vying for our attention it is no surprise that, as a generation, our attention span has taken a real hit. Pastimes such as sitting to read or patiently creating something have given way to watching Vines and skipping through tracks on Spotify. This is all at the detriment to our ability to study. To consume information – let it sink in and to analyse it – we need to be able to concentrate on certain things for extended periods of time. So the time has come to put our brains into training.
Just as professional footballers will return to their clubs to undergo strenuous pre-season training to ensure they are fit for the new season, we need to put our minds through rigorous exercises. By following the steps below you will be able to keep your mind on the lecture you are sitting in, read more than the first page of that textbook without checking for Snapchats and stay studying for longer.
Get The Right Diet
Much of the practice of improving your concentration lies in improving your habits. Skipping breakfast is one such habit to avoid. Getting a healthy breakfast that provides you with a fuel injection of protein with carbohydrates will see you through the morning and help keep your brain engaged. Any foods which contain omega 3 (commonly found in oily fish) are also said to boost cognitive function, and, therefore, concentration.
Train Your Brain
For those of us who have found that our attention span has shrunk and our brains struggle to stick to certain tasks, the good news is that the damage (in terms of settling into negative habits) is not irreversible. The brain is malleable and new pathways can be created to make it more productive. These pathways are formed by repeating the processes which lend themselves to efficiently fulfil the tasks at which you want to excel. So set yourself targets of attention-demanding tasks and try and lengthen the time you spend on them each time. For example, when you have a spare 15 or 30 minutes, instead of turning on the television (and probably turning off your brain) load up a Ted Talk, even if the subject does not immediately appeal to you. Ted Talks are perfect for this type of training as they come in a variety of lengths so you can keep upping the length of the talks you watch.
Get Out Into Nature
The stress of an urban environment, or any environment that you find oppressive, has been found to hinder brain activity. So, when you struggle to organise your thoughts, try going out for a walk in a park. Alternatively, brighten up your work station with plants.
Stop Multi-tasking
As proud as some people are of their ability to multitask, it can be detrimental to productivity. Multi-tasking means you are not giving one thing your full attention which is not conducive to improving your attention span. Do one thing at a time.
Find The Best Way To Organise Your Mind
Many people find regular exercise the best way to keep their brain agile and ready to commit to a task. Others meditate to find the peace to work on projects more efficiently. What always helps is clearing all your other tasks and chores in advance of your study time. Hanging that washing out or doing that food shopping before sitting down to read a chapter is the best way to stop you curtailing your study to procrastinate with menial tasks.
Learn To Shut Out Distractions
Our smartphones ensure we are never far away from a myriad of distractions. The subtle hustle and bustle of a library is not the best working environment for everyone. Learn the best way to shut these distractions out. There are apps such as Anti-Social, which block websites like social networks that constantly claim your attention. Instrumental music works to shut out distracting noises for many people (Spotify have you covered here with playlists designed especially to aid concentration).
Build Up Your Stamina
At the end of the day, your concentration span is linked directly to the strength of your willpower. As if it were a muscle, work on building up your willpower. Stop yourself from checking your phone too regularly; limit yourself to only checking on the hour. When you are tempted to put down a book, challenge yourself to read another five pages. You will be amazed how much benefit this will have.
Having an improved concentration span will truly improve your life. Not only will it help you in your studies, but you will be able to put more into all areas of life.
Try these tips for yourself, and if you have any advice for fellow Journal readers, please contribute in the comments section below.

Celebrating 40 years of bad acid, dirty hippies, and oh yes, fantastic music
By NICK TAVARES
STATIC and FEEDBACK editor
Forty years ago this weekend, about 500,000 music fans of questionable morals gathered on a pig farmer's lot for a few days while a daunting lineup of musical talent entertained them for a nominal fee (in the concert-goers case, it was free).
While the actual historical impact of this event can be questioned (it did not, in fact, bring about world peace, nor was much social change actually brought on by the event), what can't be argued is its place in music lore. The Woodstock Music and Arts Festival, held on Max Yasgur's farm on Aug. 15 to 18, 1969, will forever stand as the greatest music festival of all time. Food and water were scarce, but there were remarkably few incidents to report.
And, of course, most of the music is incredible, and that's what has been remembered all these years. True enough, I had another 13 years in the spirit realm when the festival took place, and even I have been able to reap the benefits of what took place that weekend. What's been said about Woodstock has been said, so I'd like to take this time to highlight some of my favorite moments from the festival. There are plenty of artifacts to better document it (check out this and this, for example), but consider this a fun sampler for your weekend.
1. Richie Havens: "Freedom"
2. John Sebastian: "Darlin', Be Home Soon"
3. Santana: "Soul Sacrifice"
4. Canned Heat: "Woodstock Boogie"
5. Janis Joplin: "I Can't Turn You Loose"
6. Sly & the Family Stone: "I Want to Take You Higher"
7. The Who: "See Me, Feel Me"
8. Joe Cocker: "With A Little Help From My Friends"
9. Ten Years After: "I'm Going Home"
10. Jimi Hendrix: "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)"

Tech | Lytro Illum Camera
The future of digital photography is here. The new Lytro Illum camera takes a completely different approach to photography while also streamlining the photo editing process. When using the Lytro camera, one no longer needs to pick where your focal point is as it treats all information within the frame equally. With an incredible amount of resolution, the Lytro allows you to pick your focus afterwards whether it's an object in the extreme foreground or background, controlling the amount of focus with an easy touch screen feature that's as instinctive as many of the iphone features we have all grown so accustom to.
You can purchase the Lytro Illum Camera for around $1,500 here.

My journey into the world of photography started 10 years ago while living in beautiful La Jolla California. Photographing families and children running on the beach evolved into corporate head shots and architecture.
And I'm now inspired by the love I have for my home city in Crescent Beach British Columbia. There's a picture around every corner.
I am surrounded both by natural beauty and interesting people. I use my camera to document the world and then print images with a focus on the magic I find in daily life. My pictures tell my story and the stories of those I capture.
Whether it's prints, photo books or wall canvases, I invite you to bring bits of my story or maybe your own family story into your life and home. New prints are released regularly, so check back often. If you sign up for updates, you will get notified about new images for prints and canvases and cards.

Anencephaly is what is known as an open neural tube defect. It occurs when the upper part of the neural tube fails to close. This basically means that the skull and overlying scalp are absent and a severely abnormal brain structure is open to outside of the body. There are various sub-groups of anencephaly depending on the involvement of the neck and if it is associated with spina bifida, which is another type of neural tube defect.
Associated abnormalities include hydronephrosis (excessive enlargement of the fluid collecting system for the kidneys), cleft lip and/or palate, diaphragmatic hernia, Exomphalos (see entry Abdominal Exstrophies) and horseshoe kidneys.

I've been flying all around the world. I spent a few days in Sydney, which was awesome. I spent all of 36 hours in Tokyo which was very very cool. Tokyo smells great! Seriously – it does. You know how some cities just smell like poo and urine and cars and garbage and all sorts of other crap?
Tokyo smells really good. It smells like flowers and spices. Okay, there is the occasional smell of automobiles. But all in all, it smells very nice. A fragrant city.
I was nervous to go. Having just seen Lost in Translation, I was nervous. (BTW, it's a great movie.) The Tokyo subway system is great once you figure out what on earth is going on. It makes NYC, Paris, London, Boston, and DC look like childs play. In fact, if you took all the previously mentioned cities, combined their subway systems, you still wouldn't touch the vastness of Tokyo. I especially like the small female voice telling you what stop you were at.
As far as I can tell, Japanese does not stress sylables the was English does. The words are pronounced fairly flat. I was trying to go to Asakusa, which I pronounced AH-sa-KU-sa. That go me no where. However, trying to get to ah-sa-ku-sa worked just fine. Takes a little getting used to.

It was one of the first days of spring semester classes at Miami University Dolibois European Center (MUDEC) in Luxembourg. Students filed into the Charles the Bold classroom and waited for the start of HST 270: The Rise and Fall of Adolf Hitler.
Shortly before the class was scheduled to begin, a man wearing a velvety black fedora and a black overcoat entered the room and headed toward the window.
Snow was still on the ground from earlier in the week, but the man opened the window and said in a thick accent that I couldn't immediately place, "I think we should have fresh air in here. We will shut it when it gets too cold."
Cold air rushed into the room, but the man removed his coat and hat anyway. He folded his coat and set it on the table in front of him and placed the hat on top.
Students looked around the room at each other, cold and confused.
The man at the front of the room started speaking.
What is that accent? I thought to myself. French? German?
He quickly explained himself and his no technology policy — handwritten notes only.
Everyone closed their laptops and pulled out their notebooks and pencils. He wasted no more time, and started lecturing about the effect of WWI on Europe. He rattled off specific dates and people.
I looked at the desk in front of him. Where are his notes? There was nothing there but his coat and hat. I looked at around at the other students who seemed to be equally as confused. Who is this guy?
Emile Haag grew up on a farm in a small village of around 150 people in the center of Luxembourg.
"For me, as a kid, Luxembourg City was pretty big," Haag said.
The only time he went to the city as a boy was during a traditional pilgrimage, on foot, to Mary the Virgin of Luxembourg. It was a 12 km walk, about 7.4 miles, to the city followed by a mass in the cathedral.
Haag grew up speaking Luxembourgish, but like all Luxembourgish kids he was also taught German and French.
In the Lyceé (the seven year Luxembourgish equivalent of high school,) Haag took a classical track, so he also studied Latin and Greek.
He only knew English on a limited conversational level, but when he went to college, he managed to read one book in English, a Hemingway: For Whom the Bell Tolls.
He attended college in Luxembourg and Aix-en Provence in France and spent his last two years at the Sorbonne in Paris.
Shortly after completing his studies with a Ph.D, Haag was hired by the Athénée of Luxembourg, a lycée, in June of 1968. But soon after, the director of the Athénée told him to also apply for a history position at a brand new university called Miami.
"I remember that my last question [of the interview] was, 'What's the working language?' and he said, 'English of course!'"
Haag told the director of MUDEC to give him 48 hours to think it over.
"I came back and said, 'Look. I am willing to do it, but I can't do it in September because my English is not strong enough. If you give me until January, I will work on it.'"
To improve his English, Haag taught history at the international school and read most of Agatha Christie's books as well as many history books on the topics he would soon be teaching.
"I still remember my first day," he said. "The class was on the second floor, so I waited to take the lift to be sure that no one else would come up with me. I was worried if someone would try to talk to me, I wouldn't understand."
He waited until the lift was free, snuck in and went up without speaking to anyone.
Haag also told the school secretary to tell him of the slightest negative things the students may say. He also told her that if the students complain, he would stop teaching at once.
"I was so nervous. I was waiting in the classroom, and I would not say a word until everybody was there, and then I started the lesson."
He taught for two days, and after the second day, he went back to the secretary and asked what the students were saying, but she had heard no complaints.
"And I said, 'Tell me the truth! I do not want you to get some kind of solace. I want to know."
But three weeks passed with no complaints, so Haag continued to teach.
During his second year at MUDEC, the director came to him and asked him if he would be interested in teaching on the other side.
"What do you mean?" Haag said.
The director explained that he meant the United States. A history professor from Miami's Oxford campus wanted to spend a few years teaching in Luxembourg and was in need of a temporary replacement.
"I thought it over, and decided 'why not.'"
However, he told the director that he would be staying in Luxembourg until after the birth of his second child. As soon as his son was born, he hopped on a plane and headed off to Oxford, Ohio where his family would join him two months later.
After two years in the states, Haag and his family returned to Luxembourg, and he resumed teaching at both the Lycée and at MUDEC.
"From that moment on, I felt much more at peace in my classes."
Haag hasn't always taught from memory. He did use notes in the beginning.
"But I also had an activity as a public speaker, and I when I made a speech, I had notes laying before me which I only used as a guarantee that if I had a blank, then I could use my notes. But I never used them.
"When I am teaching, I know my topics. I see before my mental eye a page or a blackboard. I see all the different elements which are vital for the development of a topic."
For a while, Haag said he had notes in front of him which were not relevant to the class whatsoever, but he figured he should have them so students would take him seriously.
But after a while, he figured even that was pointless.
In 1993, he became the director of the Athenée while still teaching at MUDEC.
He was the director for 14 years, and even after retiring from the Athenée, he still continues to teach at MUDEC a few days a week.
Haag and his wife, Karin, spend much of their free time traveling the world.
"We go to Italy; we go to Paris; we go to Amsterdam; we go to London and all over… I think we keep cultivating our cultural alertness and our pleasure because traveling really is a pleasure."
He has always been intrigued and enthusiastic about the Italian Renaissance and cities like Florence, Venice and Rome — where he has traveled to many times.
"I feel extremely fortunate to live in this time-period and to be able to take advantage of all of these things," Hagg said.
Haag is always furthering his knowledge by reading as much as he can on the topics he teaches, by visiting museums, listening to classical music and learning about the fine arts.
"I think you should avoid having unilateral things," he said. "You should always look to have several arrows on your arc. You should be flexible and always have alternatives," said Haag.
He enjoys American sayings because of the brief slogans which he even used in his Luxembourgish classes. One of his favorites is "always aim at the top."
"Even if you might not get to the top, you should put your targets higher and never, never accept an average result," he said. "I think that's an important lifestyle, even in my personal life."

Your boss is getting on your nerves; you have to get a project finished, but the phone keeps ringing; you still have not met the right person to marry to have the children you want so badly (or you have children that are so bad you hardly want them); your car breaks down; your bills are piling up; your in-laws are coming for dinner; your mother says she never sees you anymore; you are overwhelmed by your cholesterol count, your sodium intake, your sugar intake and your fat intake; you or someone you know has cancer or heart disease and YOU'VE GOT STRESS!!!
There is simply no escaping it.
Our lives and the world we live in are loaded with stress. Up to two thirds of visits to the GP are for stress-related disorders. Job stress costs New Zealand industries millions of dollars annually in absenteeism, lost productivity, accidents and medical insurance.
It is worth noting here that some stress can be good. Many people are more alert, more productive and consequently happier and healthier with a certain amount of stress. Beyond that, however, it stops contributing to your ability to function and starts inhibiting it. Stress is a double-edged sword. Things' going wrong produce stress and it causes things to go wrong. Stress, over an extended period of time, can make you quit your job; can lead you to depression; to drugs and alcohol, all in an effort to escape it. All of these can and will certainly affect your ability to perform, your ability to earn money and your quality of life.
We all need to do more to combat stress; we have to learn to find a balance in our work and personal lives. Certainly, there are some things that you simply cannot change, for example, the unexpected death of a loved one, natural disasters and accidents. However, everyone can and should carefully examine their lives and make an honest attempt to reduce the stress-producing circumstances that make unnecessary demands upon them. Determine which things you can do something about, concentrate your time and energy on them and try to avoid the obvious ones.
We should emphasise wellness; focus on the positive and relaxation, whatever the circumstance. The simple reason why this is important is that when we are healthier we deal with stress better.
Which person would you think would do the best: Two people having identical lives in every single way, busy, deadlines, errands, work, kids etc., one is healthy the other is less healthy.
Of course the healthy person would always do better.
To be healthy we need have health promoting behaviours. We need to regularly nourish the body with healthy nutritious food, move the body as much as possible throughout the day (not just for 45 minutes at the gym once a day) and we need to have our spine checked on a regular basis to clear up the communication between the brain and the body, this leads to better function less accidents, better adaptability to stress and a healthier you.
Health promoting behaviours and other stress management techniques can create a sense of well-being and zest for life; leading to a more productive, happier and healthier you.

Have a Fantastic day!
