How to cope with stress at any age.

Just have to start this blog with Gratitude!

I've been encouraged by my team to read all the lovely comments that have come my way from people who have discovered me through my VWH App, especially via my Blog Posts!

It's so good to know that my words (and my world for that matter), resonate with you.

It can be stressful trying to keep all the plates spinning in the air at once but I've decided to practice and follow my own teachings and to home-in, so to speak, on the Power of Three.

I use this approach a great deal in my teaching. I'd even go so far as to say it's my signature approach to dealing with stress and ensuring I 'discipline my day' and not let things get the better of me.

You see ...
