"Penny's Stress Tool Kit provides marvellous insights into marrying the practical was of combating stress with what the strategies are for doing so. Using the metaphor of a barometer with liquid spilling out, helps one to properly orientate one's self relative to the seriousness of the stress being experienced and informs the correct tools to use to be empowered rather than feel overwhelmed by the stress or threat thereof. Thank you Penny for adding immense value through all the hard, well thought out work you put into your material. It has made a positive impact on me."

One of the most important things we can for our health, and for our relationships, career, and finances too for that matter, is manage our stress. Long-term chronic stress has been called the “silent killer” for a reason. High levels of chronic stress are correlated with heart disease, cancer, digestive problems, autoimmune problems, memory and concentration problems, skin problems, infertility problems, hair loss, an increase in inflammation in the body, increased accidents, an increase in anxiety and depression, as well as higher rates of suicide. Long term chronic stress harms the immune system and never gives it a chance to recover, so it makes you vulnerable to all sorts of illnesses.

I have developed this toolkit to help you understand and manage your own stress. It enables you to really understand your own specific situation. This book contains questionnaires, checklists, rating scales, self-assessment exercises, and tables for you to populate with your own information, as well as thirty-four different methods (physiological, mental, emotional, and behavioural) to manage stress.

You will learn:

1. To understand exactly what stress is

2. To understand what goes on in your body when you are stressed

3. To understand how stress impacts on your physical and mental health, work and relationships

4. What the sources of stress in your life specifically are

5. How to recognise the signs and symptoms of stress in terms of physiology, mental, emotional, and behavioural states

6. To measure your own level of stress

7. To get an idea of how at risk you are for illness given your particular level of stress

8. How to add activities in your life that act as buffers against stress

9. 34 Tools and Techniques for managing stress (physiological, mental, emotional and behavioural)

10. How to create a stress management program for yourself to use on a regular basis
