Top Tips On How To
Manage Stress

E D I T O R ' S N O T E S
I remember when I was about ten, my dad brought home a
huge army surplus tent. It was the only affordable option
that fit our family of nine +. That was the beginning of many
wonderful summers spent parked beside wild Rocky
Mountain rivers and pristine ice cold lakes.
There are many more places to explore in this world, but the
luxury of glamping when I need a nature fix, means making
new memories is much more manageable.
This issue, Kirsten shares some tips for managing stress if
you can't get glamping. You can cross things off your to-do
list for five bucks, bake am easy yummy campfire cake. Ariel
dishes advice on the four pillars of health and April Rose

Wishing you a week of peace,

Choosing the perfect necklace is such a personal experience and also something
that can feel pleasurable and wonderfully self-indulgent.
Our necks are a very sensitive and sensual area and are considered an erogenous
zone. I’ve often wondered if that’s why, through the centuries, we’ve had a
tradition of decorating ourselves in this area to draw attention to it.
Necklaces can be surprisingly difficult to get just right. So, taking time to appreciate and
adorn this area of your body in a way that accentuates your femininity and elegance is really
important.

LOOK BEAUTIFUL
CI’m a firm believer that accessories are the
key to fashion success. They add spice and
individuality to an outfit, which can elevate
a look to a whole new level.
If you enjoy big, bold costume jewelry there
are lots of statement necklaces around that
will add colour and drama to the simplest
of outfits. But if your taste is more classic,
then you may prefer pieces that are neat
and elegant and will remain timeless.
Classic jewelry really doesn’t have to be
boring!
When you’re choosing your perfect
necklace there are a few things to
consider…
Pearl & Tassel
Traditional or modern?
Classic jewelry really doesn’t have to be
boring!
Traditionally diamonds are the first choice for
engagement and wedding rings because they
symbolize eternity and love. And pearls are
the epitome of lady-like elegance when
paired with an understated outfit.
But gone are the days of only wearing
diamonds and pearls for traditional and
formal occasions. They’ve had a fashion
revival and you’ll find them being used in
cutting-edge modern designs. Because of
this, more and more women are mixing them
in with their individual everyday style, which
gives these gems a fresh and edgy twist.

LOOK BEAUTIFUL
Make It Personal
The main benefit of wearing an accessory is
that it’s a great way to inject a bit of your
own personality and creativity into an
outfit. You can have two people wearing
exactly the same outfit, but as soon as
accessories are added – hey presto, they
couldn’t look more different!
Horn Beads
This personality element can sometimes
make choosing a necklace for someone
else feels a little tricky. But don’t let that
put you off, because it really is a special
gesture and that shows how much you
care. The thing to remember is that not
every metal suit every person, so if you’re
unsure your best option is to go for rose
gold because it looks great with any skin
tone.
Formal Or Casual?
The choice of material for necklaces usually
comes down to whether you’re going for a
formal or a casual look.
As a general rule, a more ornate necklace
with a lot of stones looks best with a formal
outfit, while casual outfits will benefit from
a simpler design.
Rose Quartz
There’s no right or wrong, of course, always
go with what feels right for you and have
fun experimenting. Just keep in mind that
loads of diamonds might look a bit out of
place with a casual t-shirt and jeans
combo!

EVERYTHING YOU NEED
TO KNOW ABOUT
/BY SHERRY KALLERGIS
Glamping literally redefines the conventional concept of camping. After spending half of
glamping!
your life handling household and career responsibilities, don’t you deserve a special retreat?

AT FORTY FIVE MAGAZINE /11
Does the passion for traveling keep haunting
you in your dreams? No matter how many
attractive destinations you have traveled to so
far, there’s a lot more to explore in the world.
Though many travel enthusiasts aren’t familiar
with glamping, you should experience an
exotic glamping trip once in your lifetime.
What Exactly Is Glamping?
The concept of glamping is easy to understand.
You probably have a retro camping experience
in your past. It might not have been a totally
positive experience. Recalling your sore back
after a night on the hard ground or the fall as
you stumbled to the bathroom in the pitchblack
night might mean you are content to
leave camping in the past. After all, many of us
are now spoiled by our “dream beds” and
creature comforts. Our creaky knees and bad
backs may get in the way of embracing the
concept of camping.
In simple words, glamping means enjoying
nature with all the luxurious amenities at hand.
When you arrange a typical camping session,
you don’t get the comfort of a five-star resort in
your tent. You are at the mercy of mother
nature. Instead, glamping offers you luxurious
and relaxing amenities while enjoying nature.
As well, if you travel to offbeat destinations,
glamping can be an ideal choice when the
hotel experience is not an option.
Why glamping is a
preferable option?
Perhaps, you are just coming up short with
enough energy to go camping. Why make
things difficult? You can enjoy an authentic yet
convenient “resort” during your glamping trip
There is no point in suffering, right? So, what’s
holding you back? Get planning your glamping
trip!
Glamping Is Good For Your
Mental and Physical Wellbeing
If you still have doubts, glamping can enhance
your physical and mental wellbeing. For
example:
You can boost your energy levels just by
getting in tune with nature. A glamping trip
helps you take your mind away from your
hectic life and gives your mind and soul a
refresh.
A customized glamping trip comes with
loads of new experiences and stunning
destinations to explore.
Glamping can help decrease your stress
levels significantly by providing some worryfree,
time.
A temporary change in your lifestyle will
renew your focus and give you have a sense
of freedom from your humdrum routine.
What are the best platforms for
booking Glamping sessions?
There are multiple platforms that are extremely
helpful for booking Glamping trips. How do you
determine the best platforms among all the
available options? Well, Glamping Hub
(headquartered in Denver, Colorado, USA, and
Seville, Spain) and Airbnb are two
internationally recognized and exceptional
names when it comes to booking a glamping
experience.
Both of the platforms offer all types of
glamping sessions with different budget plans,
desired levels of convenience, and unique
activities. The customer support teams of these
platforms are highly reliable in terms of
resolving client queries and obligations. So,
where are you going?

Four Pillars Of
Health

P A R T 2 O F 2
Pillar Of Health Two: Sleep
Repairs Your Body
The second pillar is sleep. How many people
give up their good quality sleep to be able to
get up early to go to the gym. Or chase their
kids around instead of going for a nap.
It's so important. You need seven to nine
hours of good quality sleep. If you wake up for
more than 20 minutes, you're basically
starting that system all over again. So, it's very
important if you do wake up to use the
washroom, or go check on a noise, try to go
back to sleep within 15 minutes because once
you're at 20 minutes, your clocks start all over
again. And with arithmetic medicine, every
single organ system detoxifies and cleans
itself at a certain hour in the night.
If you are working the grave shift, or your
hours are all over the place and you don't
have a system you're not going to regulate
your circadian rhythm. Your body's not
going to be able to get into a pattern of
detoxifying itself properly. This can wreak
havoc on your mental health
What happens is that in the seventh hour
the brain detoxifies all the neural toxins
that you've been breathing in the last 24
hours. I encourage you and I challenge you
to get at least 7 hours of sleep every single
night. And if you're not sleeping properly
get help.
Pillar Of Health Three:
Proper Nutrients Are Key
The third pillar is nutrition. We don't need
to be eating an abundance of food, eating
less is better, and eating right for our cells.
You want to make sure that you are getting
the proper nutrients in the body and you're
not overeating or undereating. Try not to

AT FORTY FIVE MAGAZINE
eat when you're stressed because as we
know, we have something called a central
nervous system and that will interact with
your gut health.
If you eat when you're stressed, the body
goes into something called “Fight or Flight”
which is the sympathetic nervous system.
The stomach shuts off and you will not be
able to secrete the proper enzymes, the
hydrochloric acid, and the pepsin to break
down and absorb all those wonderful
nutrients. Your bioavailability of those
nutrients decreases. That's bad because it
puts you into fat storage mode and your
cortisol goes up.
I encourage and challenge you if you're
feeling stressed, drink a glass of water and
go for a walk or go do something that's
going to relax you. Get your feet massaged,
put on your favorite song, pet your cat, or
have a cup of tea. Do those things just for
about 15 minutes to regulate your stress.
After a long day, or on the road stuck in
traffic, don't go through a drive-through.
Don't eat when you're stressed. Wait, till you
get into the parasympathetic system, which
is the rest, digest, repair system.
Pillar of Health Four:
Exercise Daily
Exercise every single day, any form of
movement is important. Clean your house,
walk your dog, do a little bit of stretching.
Just a little every day can prevent you from
getting 13 different types of cancer.
It cleans the lymphatic system, which is
going to help you with your skin, just like,
Helen earlier explained beautifully.
When you start focusing on these four
pillars, you're going to start to notice that
your body is no longer going to be a
survival mode. It is going to thrive.

What Exactly is Fiverr®?
It is a platform for buyers and sellers. In this age
of freelancing, this is the ultimate marketplace
where you can offer a service or buy one. There
are over 500 service categories and in 2020 their
revenue was 189.51 million (source: Fiverr®)
Originally, when it started in 2010 the opening
level of pricing was $5.00 US, hence the name.
The base price has increased slightly over time,
and some services are more. Many services have
add-ons (stock images, copyrights, delivery date
options) that increase the price but once you
make a choice, the price is fixed. Many of the
sellers are from around the globe so don't expect
perfect grammar but the service is outstanding.
I have used it countless times for posters, logo
designs, business advice, tag lines, invitations,
business card designs, videos, editing, and even
a lifestyle coach. I have been satisfied with all of
them, although some more than others.
What Kind of Quality Do You Get?
Each time the quality was worth more than I
paid, and the result met my needs.
Is It Trustworthy?
I am comfortable using this service because:
My son first recommended it.
My privacy is protected. Both parties use
usernames and the platform is the
middleman.
You can look at samples of their work,
review all seller’s services by ratings, and
see how much work they have in the
queue before yours.
It is easy to create an account and use it.
Most sellers allow one revision request to
their first version.
If there is any type of problem with the
product there is a recourse action
process that works well. A few times
what I needed was not delivered to my
satisfaction and there was no charge.
Am I Taking Advantage of
People at this Rate?
Many people use Fiverr® to supplement
their income as well as practice their
English and their trade. You are supporting
the gig economy and connecting with those
who want to work.

AT FORTY FIVE MAGAZINE /21
How Does Fiverr® Work?

You create an account, set up your username
and password, add your payment

mounted stress than usual for
many of us,

AT FORTY FIVE MAGAZINE /23
Opportunities for many of us have been
adversely affected by the pandemic.
A familiar feeling
Stress is acceptable in manageable doses. It
can create a surge in intensity of focus which
helps us accomplish a task. However, a tad too
much and the effects are disastrous. The
weight of being pulled down overpowers and
productivity can crumble. The worse yet is that
no matter how much life experience we have,
these feelings of overwhelm will recur.
Statistics say that over 90% of us have felt a
sense of overwhelm at least once in the last 7-
10 days. This takes hold like a surging wave
instigated by something we could predict - like
juggling too many responsibilities at the same
time - or it can strike suddenly, triggered by
something not forecastable. Overwhelm can
also lurk as a constant, low-grade threat
underlying the surface, present but not
threatening until too late… ominous like a vine
growing around our necks, slowly tightening.
Either way, overwhelm is unwelcome and
unpleasant. But it could be managed. Let’s now
discuss how our brain reacts to overwhelm and
provide helpful tips on effectively tackling it.
What happens in our brain
When we are feeling close to reaching the
point of overwhelm, our brain seeks to resolve
the situation and calm us down. I’m not a
doctor but what has been explained to me by a
Biologist is that is two things happen when we
are feeling overwhelmed. Stick with me for this
basic biology class because it explains a lot
about our behaviour when in this state.
First, our brain tries to reduce the demand on
it, so extraneous noises which we can usually
tolerate become unbearable (like footballs
being hit onto your wall. That’s which made me
lose my cool with one kid last week, something
I still feel bad about).
Second, when we are under pressure our brain
relies on fast, instinctive processes to make
decisions rather than slower, more analytic
ones. That make us more likely to fall into old
habits and also reduces our ability to be rational
or problem solve. When feeling overwhelmed,
we judge situations in basic terms, as good or
bad, positive or negative. Life is not that
obvious. In reality, things are rarely as bad as
they feel when we are in that state of being
overwhelmed.
It’s important to remember that the negativity
we feel when overwhelmed is a symptom, not a
reality. When we calm down, our thinking brain
kicks back in, and things don’t seem quite so
horrendous. We feel more hopeful. When we
take a breather, we literally feel better.
So when the quicksand and level is rising ... or
the vine around our neck is tightening… it
literally is best to have a time out. Let’s talk
about ways to tackle overwhelm in a minute.
OK, so we understand now what happens to
our brain when we are overwhelmed. We also
get that we all live in a world where this feeling
will reoccur. Let’s benefit by better equipping
ourselves for dealing with this feeling by better
understand its causes and learning some
helpful pointers on what to remember when
we are next feeling overwhelmed.
Causes of overwhelm
We all must learn to recognise our individual
triggers which can make us feel overwhelmed.
A classic for many is having too many balls in
the air. Some of us may like being mega-busy.
However, if we are not mindful, being occupied

and engaged can quickly descend into feeling
submerged in stress.
Other common triggers for feeling overwhelmed
include emotional trauma, financial stress, an
anniversary of a loss or emotional benchmark,
family friction, spending too much time alone,
being yelled at or in a hostile environment, sexual
harassment, health issues, our own internal
expectations and dealing with change - a big one
now that our routines and future plans have been
affected by the pandemic.
The bottom line is that our everyday life can and
probably will include at least some of these stress
inducers. So, let’s prepare ourselves and our
families.
Here are some practical pointers on how to
manage overwhelm and stay away from the
quicksand.
HOW TO MANAGE
OVERWHELM
Tip 1
When overwhelm sets in, let’s first remind
ourselves of the following nuggets of wisdom to
help ease the feeling.
For ease of recall, I have labelled them “The R-P-
G-Ps”. Let’s remember:
* Real. Be aware these feelings are real: It’s our
mind’s way of telling us we need to slow down if
we want to live a healthier life. We should listen
to this warning.
* Positive. Get rid of the negativity. Let’s
remember while our feelings are real, overwhelm
is a simply jumbling of our thoughts, not a
collapse of our life. We all have
the power to control our thoughts. We can thus
manage who we are and where and what we
want to be. That’s important to understand and
believe. When we are feeling overwhelmed, let’s
remind ourselves that our whole life isn’t falling
apart, just our thoughts are confused and need a
rejigging, a re-prioritisation. We need to take
some time out to purge negative, selfdeprecating
emotions and thoughts. As we
do this, we will feel renewed energy and more
invigorated to take on the day.
* Gratitude. This is important. The feeling of
being grateful and appreciative is vital for
mental health. Coaches often suggest clients
write journals recalling what they are grateful
for. This help being in “the present”. Gaining
perspective on our problems is also important
and can also augment gratitude. Perspective
and gratitude are topics I will write more about.
* Proactivity. When we feel overwhelmed, let’s
first remind ourselves the “4 Be’s” and then
progress to the following pointers to practically
and proactively manage and emerge from this
feeling.
Tip 2
Prioritise and Divide into Manageable Chunks:
If thoughts and worries interrupt our daily rest
time or barge into our usual activities, it’s time to
prioritize. Let’s stop, breathe deeply and think of
all the issues that are swirling in our heads that
need to be tackled.
I find making lists helps. This process allows us to
identify the plethora of stuff that needs to be
addressed and the act of writing it all down is
cathartic. I swear there is some magical
meditative power for me in list making. I will let
you in on a secret - sometimes I add quick tasks t

AT FORTY FIVE MAGAZINE
o my lists just to enjoy the therapeutic act of crossing off! Now we’ve made a list, let’s segment the
whole seemingly mammoth mess into smaller, more manageable chunks. That’s the key: identify,
divide (or segment) and conquer. When we understand all the components of our overwhelm and
what needs to be done first, the job becomes doable.
Tip 3
Communication is important so we don’t feel isolated. Let’s tell other people how we are feeling.
Share. Vent. Have a conversation, monologue, dumping session. This helps reduce our stress levels.
Remember to balance communication with the adage “less talking, more doing”. We need to be
aware that talking gets us only so far. At some point, proactivity needs to start.
TIP 4
Delegation is a key to survival. Often this sense of overwhelm is a result of feeling there is just too
much to do. If this is the case, is there someone at home or work that we can delegate some tasks
to? While it’s easy to think “it’s just quicker if I do it”, that doesn’t help us nor teach the others
around us. We must learn to ask for and accept help.
TIP 5
We must remember our boundaries and keep them. Remember the expression “saying yes to
someone else can be saying no to yourself”. Whether it’s accepting another project at work or
social invitation or task we’re simply not keen on, saying yes commits us. Instead, perhaps we
follow the strategy of “let me get back to you”, decide on our own time scale what we want to do,
and then revert … but remember to!
TIP 6
For those of you who know me send The Next Half, one of the mantras is “Remember Recharge
Time”. We cannot be any good to others if we are depleted. Staying recharged helps us both
better manage when feeling overwhelmed and also prevent its surge. Let’s prioritize getting our
personal reflection time to refuel, both to manage overwhelm when it surges and to also prevent
its approach. Let’s get some fresh air, vitamin D3, and exercise, or take a nap, or see a friend
TIP 7
Let’s try to listen to our warning signs and try to head off any eruption. This loops back to knowing
your triggers and paying attention to them. I’ll admit that I’m rubbish at this. But life is about
learning and improving, so I will keep on trying.
Now it’s time to walk with a friend and have a chocolate cookie! Life is good once again. Wishing
you all a peaceful, overwhelm-free, contented, and productive week.
