I'm Just me.. Marleen..

Hello Beautiful People And welcome to my blog. Have you ever had a dream?? You wanted to do something but you just didn't know how to get there?? The obsticals were simply just too big?  Time wise it just wasn't possible? Money, or more likely the lack of it, stood in your way?? Ya me too...   For a couple of years I had been sitting at home, being a stay at home mum, wondering what was next for me. My kids are growing up. The baby is now 10, the other two are 15 & 17. In a few years time I'm no longer needed to be hands on the way we are when our children are small. For years I had my little crafting "business" going.

 Hello Beautiful People and welcome to my blog. Stress.. Ever feel so stressed you end up running in circles?? I do... Quite a lot actually lol. Since recovering from depression I have really realised how much stress I had in my life and how much it has affected me all my life. Stress, as I'm sure you know, is good for no one and for nothing. It stops us in our tracks and can make us physically sick if it's a prolonged state. Stress can be many different things for different people and knowing YOUR stress factors is key. What ever your stress factors are, you have to be aware of them and learn to implement rules and tecniques to reduce the stress. (I learned mine by stopping and taking a 2 min break when I felt I got stressed. I kept a key word list on my phone, so when I got stressed I would quickly write down a few words of what I was doing and why I was stressed, if I knew. Once I had time to breathe again, I would take 5 mins to sit and think through the episode and slowly
