STAND UP TO STRESS! We have all found ourselves in a situation where our to-do list appears to be endless, deadlines are quickly approaching, and you call yourself ‘stressed’ as a result.

But what actually is stress and how does it affect us? The Directory Group explores the growing issue this April which falls on Stress Awareness Month...

Stress is a type of psychological pain; it is a feeling of strain and pressure. Small amounts of stress may be desired, beneficial and even healthy to the human body.

Stress is primarily a physical response. When the body is stressed it is under attack and switches to what the Stress Management Society label as the ‘fight or flight’ mode, releasing a range of hormones and chemicals like adrenaline, norepinephrine and cortisol to prepare the body for physical action. As a result, a number of reactions are triggered, from blood being diverted to muscles to shutting down unnecessary bodily functions such as digestion.

An average of 1 in 6 youngsters will experience an anxiety problem caused by stress at some point.

Identifying stress is important to ensure we do not ‘burn the candle at both ends’.

We are surrounded by so much in which we can be a part of. However, it is vitally important you understand your limitations and prevent yourself from ‘overdoing it’.

Small amounts of stress may be desired, beneficial and even healthy to the human body.

Stress also affects young people. According to Anxiety UK, an average of 1 in 6 youngsters will experience an anxiety problem caused by stress at some point. Many of those will develop symptoms of depression.

Preventing stress can be achieved when considering a number of different factors: taking care of your health, sleeping well, practising deep breathing, moving more, staying hydrated, limiting the use of technology and learning to say no.

It’s time to take ownership over your health and also support others’ who may require it.

Remain aware on the health consequences stress can have on your mental and physical wellbeing and, when signs of negative stress appear, do something about it.

Support and advice on stress may be found at: www.nhs.uk or www.stress.org.uk

Chosen C h ar i t y

The charity that empowers young people and prevents homelessness.

Step by Step is a youth homelessness charity based in Hampshire and operating across the South of England. It believes that every young person deserves the chance of a positive future, regardless of the circumstances they find themselves in.

As well as providing a safe place to live, Step by Step offers young people a range of specialist support services to help them escape the cycle of homelessness and work towards independent living.

Each year, over 1,600 young people access the charity’s services, which include accommodation, counselling, drug and alcohol recovery, information and advice, and life skills training. It is this unique combined approach that sets Step by Step apart from other homelessness charities and one of the reasons why 92% of the young people it supports progress positively.

Young people are housed in shared accommodation alongside other young people and with access to 24/7 support, or can

live in the community with host families – the closest thing to a stable family environment that many would have experienced.

Step by Step has recently unveiled its new advice and information service. ‘Launch’ is available online, by phone and in person and offers help and practical support on a range of issues, including housing, sexual health, getting into work, and food parcels. It is staffed by professional support workers and is free to access for any young person living in Hampshire, Surrey, Berkshire, West Sussex, Dorset and Wiltshire.

‘Launch’ is available online, by phone and in person and offers help and practical support on a range of issues.

All of this is only possible thanks to the generosity and community spirit of Step by Step’s supporters. As well as donating to the charity, you can take part in its Sleep Out event on 7th October 2022 or set up your own fundraiser as part of the 272 Challenge.

All the World’s A Stage One of our greatest creative filmmaking forces, Kenneth Branagh – the star of Much Ado About Nothing (1993) and Othello (1995), right through to Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002), Thor (2011), Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit (2014) and, of course, Death on the Nile, this year – looks back over three decades of big-budget production.

“It’s been a strange 18 months or so away, but it’s so good the industry is getting back now to what it does best.

“Death on the Nile is an immense project and I was always confident the investment and commitment

would pay itself back, both financially and artistically.

“It’s one of those films that could have been made on the cheap, but it’s the fine details that really begin to shine when you have a bigger budget to play with. It’s the luxury of doing something really good and knowing you have the time to go back and take another look at something if it hasn’t quite come through the way you expected. It’s quality control.

“Ultimately, I feel extremely lucky

to be making these sorts of movies, and to find the backers who believe in these projects, because it’s not always been like that.

“It was a real famine back in the Eighties - so few movies were being made. These days there are sets the size of Soho and investment in filmmaking is so huge, and I would like to think the output validates that.”

Top Tip

The toppings you can use for this are endless.

I usually see what I have left over in my cupboard – from dried apricots, figs or freeze-dried fruit (great for colour), to hazelnuts, pecans and sugar sprinkles.

Ingredients

(serves 4)

• 200g dark chocolate (70%) broken into pieces

Rachel Khoo Chocolate Bark

• 15g mixed seeds (e.g. sunflower, pumpkin and sesame) • 15g pistachio kernels • 20g dried cranberries

Introduction

Making your own chocolate bark couldn’t be simpler. Great for a snack, after-dinner chocolates or the perfect edible gift, and it will keep in the fridge for up to two weeks.

Method

1. Put the chocolate into a heatproof bowl and place over a pan of ‘just simmering’ water, but don’t let the bowl touch the water. Stir occasionally until melted.

3. Immediately sprinkle the seeds, pistachios and cranberries evenly over the top.

4. Transfer to the fridge to set for at least one hour. Once set, break the bark up into jagged pieces.

2. Line a tray with baking paper and pour the chocolate on to it, then spread with a spatula _210_253.indd 9780718179465_RachelKhoosKitchenNotebook_CI_210_253.indd 9780718179465_RachelKhoosKitchenNotebook_CI or palette knife into a rectangle about 18x22cm and around 0.5cm thick.

EASY PEASY

Egg Carton Flowers METHOD 1. Cut out your egg cartons. You may need to round the edges when cutting so that they look more like petals.

There’s not long to go until Easter!

As the children begin to get excited for the festive season we thought it would be timely to share a simple craft which is GREAT FUN and doesn’t require many materials… or mess!

What you will need: Egg boxes Poster paint or acrylic paint Scissors Pipe Cleaner Buttons or extra things to add on Glue

TIME FOR ART: Marble EASTER EGG

2. Paint your egg cartons. Once dry, make a hole in the bottom of the egg carton with a pencil or pen. and place one inside another one. Put some glue on the inside of the first carton and then attach the second one on top.

3. Fold over your pipe cleaner so that the folded part is at the bottom of the stem of the flower. Then push the top 2 pieces through the egg carton holes. Twist the pipe cleaner all the way down so that the two halves come together and make the pipe cleaner stem stronger.

4. Glue your button on top of the pipe cleaner in the centre of the egg carton. Twist the pipe cleaner a bit before gluing the button down.

What you will need: Egg Shells Nail polish

Bowl Stirrer

METHOD When you mix nail varnish and water, it becomes the perfect easter egg dye!

Simply combine with a stirrer in a bowl, and then drag the egg through the mixture until it’s thoroughly coated. Skip eating these beauties (the nail polish will seep through the shell) and be sure to wear rubber gloves!

The complete accredited podiatry clinic, for all your foot care needs Did you know that podiatrists are the NHS’s recognised foot care specialists?

Did you know that the word chiropodist is now outdated? Podiatrists have come a long way since the days of being termed chiropodists.

Podiatrists are highly skilled practitioners; concerned with most foot-related problems from the foot upwards. Never forget lower back pain may be caused downwards by the positioning of your feet!

Did you know that currently, there are just over 10,200 registered UK podiatrists? Such a low number to keep up with demand. Waiting lists are going up. Podiatry recruitment has become a real concern within both the NHS and private sectors. Portsmouth NHS podiatry service has seen podiatrist numbers fall by nearly 50% within the last ten years.

Reasons for this gloomy news are multifactorial. Similar shortfalls are seen within other healthcare professions. On a brighter note, Compleet Feet Westbourne is extremely fortunate to have built up a team of five experienced podiatrists. All very competent

podiatrists, with a broad skill set between them to treat all matters of simple to complex footrelated issues.

Compleet Feet podiatrists are experts in minor foot surgical procedures, musculoskeletal pain and gait function.

So, what do podiatrists do? The answer is a lot!

Do a lot more than just cut toenails and corns.

Compleet Feet podiatrists are experts in minor foot surgical procedures, musculoskeletal pain and gait function. We use the latest in podiatric equipment and offer advanced solutions for the hardest to treat verruca or fungal nail infections. We are also specialists in wound care and understanding what patients need to get back pain free on their feet.

Good preventative and prophylactic foot care is important to quality of life. Healthy functioning feet extend lifespans. Good mobility is crucial to independence. So investing in good professional podiatry foot care makes sense.

Healthy feet won’t slow you down and ensure you can step out and enjoy life.

For more information and to make an appointment, call us today on 01243 373663 or visit www.compleetfeet.co.uk

The Ultimate FLOOR SANDING Company

WHY NOT CHANGE THE COLOUR OF YOUR WOOD FLOORS... BY STAINING!

Restoring your wooden floors, perhaps by changing its colour, is by far a cheaper way to get a fresh new look, than replacing them!

Do you have the original pine floorboards but fancy a change from that ‘orange’ tinge they have? You could lighten them by adding a whitewash stain or make them a little darker by adding an antique-oak or smoked-oak stain.

How is it done?

Colour Samples In Situ...

Firstly, they sand your floor to a silky, smooth finish, using professional dustfree sanding machines, thus creating no dust whatsoever! Then they put different samples of stain colours down on your floor, so you can see what the finish will actually look like. Finally, they apply two coats of a Hard-Wax Oil coating or three coats of professional lacquer!

Before & after with a whitewash stain

Lighten your floors by adding a whitewash stain, or make them darker with an antique-oak stain.

Or do you have an oak floor and fancy a more modern look? You could achieve this by adding a subtle grey stain or a bespoke colour of your choice. Whatever you fancy, why not let the experts at Ultimate Floor Sanding help you!

Before & after with a blue stain

If you’re feeling more adventurous, why not ask them how they can create a 2-tone stain effect by adding texture to your floor using their amazing ‘Brush’ technology!

So, why not treat yourselves and your floors…

Call for your FREE quotation today on 07974 921743 or 023 9267 0930 or email: admin@ultimate-floor-sanding.co.uk For more information, www.ultimate-floor-sanding.co.uk.
