Newsletter Issue 49 – March/April 2009

Welcome to the spring edition of “In Equilibrium”.

We hope you’re enjoying the longer daylight hours and the first signs of spring as much as we are.

Please feel free to leap into our spring edition where we are delighted to bring you our first podcast in the form of a 7-minute relaxation exercise; provide a helpful stress tip; bring you several topical stress in the news stories; and give details of the new site launched by the Health and Safety Executive to help businesses prevent work-related stress.

Finally, a wee reminder to change your clocks this Sunday in order to save you any embarrassment by turning up an hour late on Monday morning!

And while we’re on the subject of time, we hope you’ll find a few minutes to read on …

Quotations

“If you treat an individual as he is, he will stay as he is; but if you treat him as if he were what he ought to be and could be, he will become what he ought to be and could be.” Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe, German dramatist, novelist, poet & scientist (1749 – 1832)

“Ideas are like rabbits.  You get a couple and learn how to handle them, and pretty soon you have a dozen.” John Steinbeck, US Novelist (1902 – 1968)
