Straw that broke the camels back

Many people only decide to go to counselling when they feel they can’t cope with life as it is.  In a similar way that many people wait until they have a heart attack or stroke, before enlisting healthier lifestyle habits.

Society is slowly coming to grips, that tackling lifestyle changes before a major problem occurs can be tedious and challenging, but a much lesser challenge when a storm breaks.

Like a heart attack waiting to happen, stresses and challenges can be alleviated before they hit crisis point.   However I rarely see a client who hasn’t reached some kind of crisis, or hit a wall in some way.

A key reason why many people need counselling is they have some unhelpful/unhealthy habits that maintain a cycle of disharmony.  It’s not rocket science, but some basic questions you can ask yourself are

• Am I getting enough sleep?
• Is my work/life balance healthy?
• Do I get a reasonable amount of exercise?
• What kind of friends/relationships do I have?
• Do I enjoy life in general?
• Are the needs of everyone else put before mine?

If your answer to 2 or more of these questions is no or negative, then you may be heading towards a crisis.  This may happen in a day, a month or a year, but continue down an unhealthy path and life catches up.

So, don’t despair!  Help is at hand.

There’s always small changes you can make for yourself, without too much guidance.  Eating healthy, exercise and adapting healthy sleep habits.

For many people, life habits are so entrenched, they find it hard to know where to start.  If this is the case then enlist the help of professional, who can support you to bring small changes to your life step by step.  Within 3-6 months you may find your life is unrecognisable.

So if this is for you ..
