Hi Nigel, so tell us a bit about yourself and how you started ….

I started out studying fashion at college and then furthered in another major of Graphic design. I hung out at fashion shows regularly and the makeup and hair team started to teach me the ropes. I realised it was easier for me to get a hold on than anything I had ever done before and with that confidence I started assisting and scored my first agent 4 years later.

WHAT IS STRESS ?

Stress is our mental and physical response to pressure. Pressures can come from external factors including life events, for example illness, living conditions, work, home/family, study, lack of a necessity, want or pressures we place on ourselves.

Sometimes even good events can be stressful, such as holidays, starting a new and better job, having a child, parenthood and Christmas.

1. Improves your flexibility

Improved flexibility. During your first class, you may not be able to touch your toes, never mind do a backbend. However, if you stick with it, you'll notice a gradual loosening, and eventually, seemingly impossible poses will become possible. You'll also probably notice that aches and pains start to disappear. That's no coincidence. Tight hips can strain the knee joint due to improper alignment of the thigh and shinbones. Tight hamstrings can lead to a flattening of the lumbar spine, which can cause back pain and inflexibility in muscles and connective tissue, such as fascia and ligaments, can cause poor posture.

Some people are best kept at a distance.

Whether family or friends nobody needs people that negatively impact them. Albert Einstein is widely credited with saying, “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results.” If you have tried to resolve issues, conflict or differences and the same issues, conflicts and differences persist it’s probably a good sign to cut ties.
