GIVING RUNNING A GO IN 2016 Have you ever wanted to try running, but thought it may be too hard? If so, an absolute beginners’ running group on Monday mornings could be for you, writes Cleo Andrews. The free group, which meets at 9.30am at Ivybridge leisure centre every Monday, is led by qualified leaders from Erme Valley
Harriers Running Club in a friendly and supportive way. You can develop your running at your own pace and there is no pressure to attend every session. The group starts again after a Christmas break on Monday, 4 January, 2016. Minimum age is 16. For more details contact me on 01752 690437, or just turn up!
One in seven people suffer from stress or anxiety at any one time in the UK. While some people seem to sail through the pressures of life, others struggle with what life throws at them. Very capable, competent and intelligent people can suffer from the effects of stress. Ongoing stress can lead to physical symptoms (such as racing heartbeat, butterflies, nausea, insomnia, sweating) and emotional symptoms (such as inner tension, dread, agitation, fear, irrational thoughts, irritability). Prolonged pressures of modern life can have a real impact on the quality of your life and wellbeing. The symptoms of anxiety correlate to the stress response (fight or flight), a primal response that is designed to save your life in a dangerous environment. Great if you are running away from a polar bear, but not so great when it happens in re-
sponse to the bank statement, or social interaction! Research shows that prolonged exposure to cortisol and other stress-related hormones can cause problems with memory, immunity, bones, blood pressure and fertility. Tiffany Armitage is a Solution Focused Hypnotherapist who can help reduce your anxiety, and work with you to reach your best hopes for the future – a calm life, free from anxiety, able to do whatever you want to do to enjoy life! Hypnotherapy can help improve confidence, decision making, sleep and help you relax in situations that have previously challenged you.
