is this the longest thread on arbtalk??? ive been reading it for ages.....
some good stuff, some very open and strong people to come and talk about very personal problems and some great help and support given, it helps me have faith in the human race (or at least in the arb community).
i was trying to write about my problems with stress, but they are nothing new on here, i talk to my girlfriend alot, she helps, i take the time to escape and sit and relax, a long walk is always good, turn off the phone, only concern is one foot in front of the other for the next 12 miles, and just dropping back to that pace of walking, helps me slow everything else down, and clear the thoughts in my head...crumbs thats how i ended up deciding on tree work as my career one day when i got lost.... we live in a very intense world just now, information is every where, bombarding the senses at an incredible rate, we have never driven so fast, commuicated so uch, had access to so much technology and entertainment, constantly being tempted by media etc,,,,all it the last 50 - 60 odd years, the human brain took a long time to evolve and adpat to a world that didnt change so much for a rather longer period of time....
I got given a paul mkenna mp3 track called sleep like a log, for those who suffer from sleep problems i recommend it.
life is a journey, but no ever said it would be easy, but no one ever said you cant go looking for some help or help others along the way,
(also smashing up some logs with a big old heavy axe helps)
