Students Don't Despair...
There are many students currently burning the midnight oil as they study, revise and perfect their projects and promotions for vital vivas and presentations to take place before Easter. To them I say don't stress, don't panic and don't despair. You're putting in the work, so if things ever feel overwhelming just take a deep breath, hold it for the mental count of seven and slowly let it out and repeat a couple of times if necessary and then methodically follow your plan. Make sure you get sufficient exercise, rest and sensible food and as you breath away that angst keep thinking about the positive outcome you're working towards and you will achieve it, will you not?

One of the best stress busters ever...

Do you enjoy gardening? Well, the answer to that could I suppose vary from no, sometimes, you must be joking or yes I love it. Whatever the answer, your garden loves you given half the chance, because gardening is one of the best stress busters ever and it also means a bit of good healthy exercise as well. If you're suffering any degree of stress just try half an hour in the garden, tidying up a border, pulling some of those difficult and unsightly weeds out or doing a bit of light hoeing. Even if to start with you're only putting in half your energy, in no time at all your mind will be taken up with that blooming weed that won't budge or the border that you want to finish before it starts to rain. It is so easy to find yourself in the garden and lose that stress and anxiety at the same time. Stress that has perhaps dogged you all day or even longer. Fortunately it is now getting a little warmer, so why not try exercising your troubles away in the garden and reap the rewards for yourself and a beautiful garden as well. It will cost you nothing and you could gain so much. Don't forget that when you're feeling stressed it is so easy to consult Dr Garden. Here's wishing you a beautiful garden and a peaceful mind.
