ENERGYA PRESS RELEASE: Energya Ltd launches new e-book on managing debt related stress
Apr 19, 2009 – ENERGYA PRESS RELEASE
BEAT DEBT WORRIES WITH RELAXATION AND A CLEAR STRATEGY
London . - Energya Ltd launches new e-book on managing debt related stress.
Managing your debts can be a full-time job. Debt never sleeps but you can learn how to put your debt to bed.
To be able to manage debt you need to feel good about yourself first. Creditors will do anything to make you feel like a criminal and try to dent your self-esteem.
Sometimes, what you really need is the sense of perspective you get from going away on holiday to then tackle bills and creditors with gusto. Of course, when you are in debt, the last thing you can afford is a holiday. That is why Paola Bassanese of Energya Ltd has written a book on cost-effective strategies to manage debt-related stress. The e-book “Relax and Get Richer” by Paola Bassanese is based on the author's own experience of dealing with creditors, shares her techniques and strategies and it succinctly condenses a vast amount of information on debt management from multiple sources.
Taking a holistic approach, this e-book presents the information in a simple, clear, concise and conversational manner. The advice on health and nutrition is accessible and easy to implement. The e-book can be purchased at http://www.energya.co.uk.
Paola Bassanese, Director of Energya Stress Management Solutions, decided to help other people who are struggling to cope with financial stress by providing a range of massage therapy and healthy eating packages and workshops.
#QUOTE Paola Bassanese says “Debt, especially credit card debt, is at an all-time high at the moment because of global economic conditions and many people cannot afford to repay their debts. At micro-economic level, middle class households are affected by their inability to obtain credit and individuals are at risk of losing their homes through repossessions. Something must be done to create a fairer banking system: consumers can vote with their feet and choose more ethical financial services providers and products. This way we can all influence the future direction of the financial services industry.
My role is to provide advice and relaxation techniques to those who are under pressure. If someone is being hassled by creditors and is worried by the size of their debts, they can become better equipped to handle their stress levels by knowing their rights as consumers and looking after their health.”

Paola's top tips on coping with recession

1. THE NUMBER 1 PRIORITY. Improve the quality of your sleep and take regular breaks at the office to increase productivity (being chained to your desk for 12-15 hours a day just doesn't cut the mustard! You need to take breaks!).
You lose 1 IQ point for every hour of lost sleep! To improve your sleeping patterns try the Natural Facelift Massage: you can BOOK HERE for our special offer 3 for the price of 2 (1 hour per session) or get a 15 minutes TASTER at St Aubyns Holistic Centre on Sunday 16th November BOOK HERE.
2. THE TRIVIAL BUT TRUE. Have plants at home and at the office. Plants release oxygen, absorb toxic ratiations and formaldehyde emissions and improve air quality in air-conditioned environments [Source: The Healthy Home, Gina Lazenby]. Exposure to radiation from mobile phones and computers can deplete your immune system (that's why you haven't been able to shift that nasty cold you've been nursing for the past 3 weeks!) and can increase your stress levels. Remember that the more stressed out you are, the less likely you become to make good decisions. Also, your memory and concentration tend to lapse (so, what was it again that I need to get for my home and office?).
Have a walk at lunchtime for at least 15-20 minutes to get fresh air, get your mind off things, take in some vitamin D from the sun to fix your calcium levels; plan some exercise into your diary and make it an unmovable appointment.
3. THE "WHY DIDN'T I THINK ABOUT IT?". Use any spare time you have to make order in your life: from getting rid of old clutter (why not sell on eBay those useless Christmas presents you got in 1995, I'm sure someone will buy them!), to writing down career and training plans. This is the right time to learn a new skill especially if - unfortunately - you are currently unemployed or may be made redundant. You apply for free or government-subsidised courses which can ultimately help your future career progression. If your focus is more on self-development, you can choose from a wide variety of subjects (needlework anyone?) and you never know, a hobby can turn into a profitable activity later on - it happened to me! A training provider on leadership and networking I partner with is Aquitude
4. THE EXTRA HELP. Choose an alkaline diet over an acidic one to strengthen your immune system, brainpower and general health. HANDS OFF THAT CHOCOLATE! I CAN SEE YOU!
Acidic forming foods are those we tend to crave the most (ouch!) like tea, coffee, chocolate, sugary snacks, processed meats and alcohol (it seems like a good idea to unwind at the pub with a pint of beer or 6 but your liver won't be a happy chappy and your sleep may become restless and shallow).
Alkaline foods include vegetables, pulses, nuts, seeds and wholegrains. For a personalised eating consultation please BOOK HERE.
5. LAST BUT NOT LEAST... THE ABSOLUTE VITAL TO BEAT THE CREDIT CRUNCH. Get free professional help from these sources: http://www.moneysavingexpert.com, http://www.debtadvicebureau.org.uk, http://www.citizensadvice.org.uk, http://www.nationaldebtline.co.uk.
Recessions come and go. This is my third recession already (no I am NOT 100 years old thank you very much!) and I've seen bubbles burst before only to inflate back again.
Use this time wisely to build strong foundations in your personal, family and work life. It is a worthy investment that will never be affected by global markets or shares fluctuations.

Munching chocolate to cope with the credit crunch? I'd rather go to the opera!
The Sun published a report recently saying that sales of chocolate in the UK have soared. It seems that people have decided to deal with the credit crunch by finding short term relief in chocolate.
Now... let's be rational here: from a nutritional standpoint I agree that chocolate has magnesium which is a natural relaxant but what about the fat and sugar content? I am sure that in a few months all that chocolate munching will turn into weight gain. Not a good idea when you're already worried about the future!
Personally, as well as receiving massages from colleagues (for free, a perk of my job), I am tackling this whole credit crunch issue by going to the Opera. If you get cheap tickets (I am talking nosebleed seats here in the balcony and above!) you can experience a wide range of emotions and beautiful singing which are very uplifting and guaranteed to improve your moods and boost your endorphins.
There is also a potential therapeutic effect of going to the opera as you can play out all your emotions and personal demons in a safe environment. Of course counselling is recommended for severe issues like debt, but if you need a good cry and a good laugh nothing beats the opera: it has been the most popular form of entertainment for centuries.
So, next time you want to reach for that chocolate bar... go to the opera or have a massage!
