Feeling the pressure
In an age where ‘harder, faster, more’ is the expected status in the workplace, it can be hard to say no, or simply slow down to a manageable pace.
Embracing the balance
Yesterday I was reminded yet again how much pressure is put on people to expect to feel ‘up’ all the time and that, if they feel ‘down’ for some reason, there’s something wrong with them.
Someone I was talking to had had it suggested to them they see a doctor because they weren’t feeling too good. Of course a doctor would have probably prescribed anti-depressants to “even out’ their mood.
DPSN: Pressure
Rachel Harrison talks to us about the pressure to keep silent about child sexual abuse, and how we can create spaces for children to be empowered, and to feel confident enough to talk to us if they need to.
Under pressure
Our DPSN theme for October is ‘Pressure’. We’ve asked our bloggers to tell us their thoughts on pressure – be it at work, school, home, with friends or online. We want to know what they think of it, where they feel it and how they respond to it as well. We want to hear your thoughts on pressure too, so let us know in the comments below, or jump over to our Facebook page to join the conversation.
