ARE YOU STRESSED????
Are you always in a hurry, even when not under pressure?
Are you trying to do more than 1 thing at a time, already thinking of the next task?
Do you hold your feelings in?
Do you manage your family, work, community and self needs effectively?
Are you continually irritable and distracted?
Do you have ongoing physical complaints?
Are you demotivated and neglect responsibility?
TRAUMATrauma occurs when a sudden,
extraordinary, external event overwhelms an individual’s capacity to cope and master
the feelings aroused by the event.
L C Terr, 1991

Inspiration by Nelson Mandela
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is not that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us……..
……And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously
give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear,
our presence automatically liberates others!”
-the words used by Nelson Mandela at his inauguration as president of South Africa in 1994
(origin “Return to Love”: Marianne Williamson)
