What is stress and why is it something that can wreak havoc on your health and happiness? In a world that is so busy for most of us, it’s easy to miss the signs of stress, and to shrug off the impact it can have on you. It’s important to check-in with yourself on how stress might be showing up for you and how to start taking steps to manage it in the best way possible and avoid burnout.

If you want to build successful habits that fit with who you are and align with the way you want your lifestyle to be, you need to nurture your mind and body the right way. By approaching your health and wellbeing as a process, something that needs to come together through many moving parts that when connected, bring the full picture together, you’ll finally achieve the healthy, happy and strong life you’re striving for.

I’d been at Nike for 20 years, dedicated nearly half my life to the company. I’d earned the respect of my colleagues and was a valued member of an international team, at one of the biggest brands in the world. I’d always get an appreciative reaction when I introduced myself in meetings, gave my Nike story and said how long I’d been with the company. I wasn’t smug about it; I was proud. I’d committed myself to Nike and could be relied upon. The longer I was there, the more settled and content I felt. I guess it made me feel safe.
