Also, I make lists - things I want to achieve that day, that week, that year - and tick them off as I achieve them which helps me feel organised and frees up my mind."


Closet cure: "Opening your wardrobe is generally one of your first daily actions but if it's a cluttered jumble it will be a constant reminder of a lack of organisation : and will contribute to stress levels," - says personal stylist Lisa Talbot, who is exhibiting at the Vitality Show, Earls Court, London, on March 22nd to March 25th. "The secret is a capsule wardrobe of clothes where items work on their own or co-ordinate with each’


-Other." She advises sorting clothes ■ ; into three piles; those you want to keep, those which are seasonal and


could be stored, and those which you don't want and could be sold or given to charity. Keep items which look fab and which you can build on, including basics from jeans and black trousers to jackets and skirts. Also hang up accessories, vital for ringing the changes on outfits, on hangers in your wardrobe so you don't overlook them."

Try this lovely Spring recipe


SPRING is.in the air and the time is right to get into the garden and start preparing it for the vegetables and flowers which enhance the summer months, so if you are busy why not tiy a nice light lamb dish, its the ideal meal for the weekend, particularly if you are entertaining friends, writes Marcia Morris.


• , Last weekend I went to a rugby party hosted by Isobel at her Gisburn home and she made the most delicious lamb with apricots lunch dish for 13 of her friends. It was accompanied by Lyonnaise potatoes and peas and quite a number of the gentlemen had second helpings. I don't know whether it


was Welsh lamb, but the ' rugby match was England vs Wales and unfortunately - England just lost in the closing minutes. So here is a recipe for lamb


by what you see on the scales.''


Revamp your mindset "You might not be able to do anything about a situation or about the way another


person behaves, but you can decide ' how much of an impact that has


on you," says Caroline Carr, a hypnotherapist and the founder of


MyPartnerisDepressed.com "In other words, you can decide how to think about it and manage your feelings around it. That way, you take control, rather than being a victim. So if, for example, you think, 'I can't do this anymore' put 'I choose to think' in front of the thought, so that you now say to yourself, 'I choose to think that I can't do this any more'. And since you can choose, you can choose to think differently. I find it very empowering."
