Problem stress
• Stress and being worn down narrows our focus. • We often feel ‘off balance’, ‘thrown’, ‘beside
ourselves’, ‘not in a good space’, ‘run over by a truck’, ‘worn out’
• It depletes, constricts, tightens, defending position and ‘our world comes in’, often feeling crowded by, or caught up in, or weighed down, by the pressures

It is wellbeing that resources, restores and builds capacity.
It is increasing wellbeing, not decreasing stress, that produces the positive changes and the benefits.
