Imagine you have a bucket you carry round with you which gradually fills up when you experience different types of stress. If you are experiencing a high amount of stress, the bucket will soon fill up. The size of the bucket varies from person to person and can change on a day to day basis.

It is important to recognise the signs when your stress bucket is filling up and find positive ways to tackle the causes of stress one by one.  

Empty the stress bucket before it overflows.
