Relax and be positive to de-stress, advises Struys

PETALING JAYA: Don’t let stress get under your skin. That is the message TV host and producer Jojo Struys would like to get across at her destress and empowerment workshops starting today. “Relax and be positive,” she said. Struys, who is also the celebrity ambassador at the inaugural Star Health Fair 2012, is all eager to share her tips and techniques where she will be talking to the public on a different topic every day at the fair.

“The health fair will give me the opportunity to reach out to people from all walks of life to share my thoughts on a topic that everyone can relate to – stress.

“Stress affects all of us at some level, whether it’s physical, mental or emotional. Don’t wait till you snap. Do something about it,” she said.

Struys said her workshop would be suitable for everyone.

“For instance, students who may be stressing over examinations, a mother who is multitasking between her job and taking care of her kids and working adults who are facing financial issues,” she said.

She is scheduled to conduct one workshop daily.

Her workshop will consist of topics on letting go of stress and anger, how to become more positive and confident as well as how to overcome obstacles and negative thinking.

Her guided relaxation CD entitled “Letting Go with Jojo Struys” will also be launched at the fair.

“These are guided audio relaxation tracks to help people de-stress, to be positive and to get rid of negative thinking,” she said.
