SLEEPLESS NIGHTS ... HOW TO COMBAT INSOMNIA

As someone who is rather prone to stress, I speak from experience on this particular subject. Like most people, any time I seem to be going through any sort of emotional turmoil – my sleep patterns go out of whack.

TO BE SINGLE OR NOT TO BE SINGLE - THAT IS THE QUESTION

It's the same old story: the proverbial grass that looks greener on the other side. Singles perhaps don't realize they are the envy of many who are in a committed relationship or married, for the freedom, possibilities and liberating options that the single life offers. If you don't believe this, just ask anyone in a couple: what do they miss the most from their 'single-status' days, or do they ever wish they were single. You will be surprised at the long wish-list of things they would like to do, given the hypothetical possibility of being single again.

GET OUT OF DEBT - NOW!

Are you in debt? Well welcome to the club. You and literally millions of others are more in debt now than ever. The number of debtors coming through the doors of Citizens Advice Bureaux has increased by 37% over the last two years, and they report around 500,000 new debt cases last year alone. If you have recently separated you are probably even more likely to be in debt than before.
But just because you are in good (or bad) company it doesn't mean that you can ignore the problem. In fact, when you are in debt, the worst thing you can do is ignore it because the longer a debt continues the more expensive it is. So get out of debt! Do it now.

UNCLUTTER YOUR LIFE

According to Chambers' Dictionary, clutter means 'a clotted or confused mass; confusion'. As a lifelong hoarder, that definition was, until recently, a distressingly accurate description of my home; every drawer, cupboard, nook and cranny was crammed with things which 'might come in useful one day' or which I couldn't bear to part with 'because it used to belong to Great Auntie Alice ...' In other words, dust-gathering, energy-sapping, guilt-inducing, time-wasting junk.
