Keep sane during last quarter frenzy

IT’S always that shocking site of Christmas decorations in early October that starts the unravelling with its accompanying warning; the year is drawing to a close, and there is still so much to be done.

This children will start stressing about exams, while the frenzy of year-end functions jostle for favourable position.
And the speed of time seems to accelerate so one feels exhausted trying to fit in so many things before the Christmas holidays.

It’s probably a good time to pay attention to one’s health and welfare so one can keep up with the hectic pace and survive the seasonal celebrations. Visiting a gym, swimming enjoying walks, runs or cycling can relieve the pressure. Try to make wise, slimming food choices before the tempting Christmas fare threatens to double you size.

Try to keep things simple. Break projects and demands into smaller steps and make lists.

Keep realistic, keep smiling and you should cope with the year-end endurance race.
