‘HOW’ benefits everyone

Our life becomes more stressful and frantic as we try to cope with all the trials and tribulations that every day throws our way. e cost of living rises, the increased mortgage payments and then of course, the dreaded ESB and Gas bills. Even though we knew they were coming, we still get a shock when the news arrives either by post, or now text alert.

All these and more are detrimental to our health and overall wellness or ‘HOW’ as we at Twilight Community Group describe it. Too many of us ignore the signs of stress until it becomes such a burden that we sometimes crack under its weight. So, let's work on ways to correct this pandemic of sorts and let’s get our ‘HOW’ back on track.

It’s Good to Talk

Yes, it is good to talk, but not for hours on end on that dreaded spoiled brat of a phone that demands your immediate attention when it rings. TURN IT OFF. Talk to another person. Yes, it is true a problem shared is a problem halved. Talk to your family, and if you wish, your family doctor or another professional. ere is no shame in speaking to a counsellor. Hell, if you were an American without one, you’d be classed as the odd one out, the weirdo of the neighbourhood! Have a courageous conversation session with your family. e rst step has been taken.
