Zayn Malik Leaves World Tour For Stress, How We Can Beat It?

I can’t lie, it’s been a sad week in our household as we learned of my favourite 1D boy dropping out of the bands world tour due to stress, and now hearing he’s gone for good, I’m devastated. Anybody who knows me, knows how much I love One Direction, so to hear that Zayn Malik has had to fly home halfway through their world tour, leaving the bands future uncertain, well it’s just terrible news!

 

So as I was flicking through the papers, looking for updates on the 21 year olds condition, I was shocked to read that 49% of people dealing with stress are suffering from money worries. Stress is a very serious thing that can affect all of us, not just pop-stars, so I decided to write some tips to hopefully help prevent you all feeling stressed over money issues. Saving and spending doesn’t always have to be stressful.

• First things first, don’t stress about debt. If you’re going into debt, seek advice on how to prioritise it. For example use your savings to pay it off, and always aim to pay off the most expensive first. Don’t worry about it! Citizens advice will be able to give you lots of helpful tips so you don’t have to feel alone. Head over to www.stepchange.org for more free advice.

• If your money worries are stemming from unemployment, then visit the jobseekers section of www.gov.uk. Here you will find lots of advice on how to write a killer CV, applying for jobs online and taking control of your job hunt. Even without a job, try geting up early and having a schedule. This means you are much more likely to feel better within yourself.

• Make an action plan to improve your finances by tightening your budget and searching out new income streams.

• Get inspired! Live for the moment! If you are in a job that you hate, why not look for a new direction. I also know what it feels like to be made redundant, it’s extremely stressful, but everything happens for a reason and now I’m doing something that I love which just goes to show, every cloud!

• Are your utility bills getting you down? If so then check out some price comparison sites, the chances are you’ll be able to save £100’s by switching provider.

I think it’s fair to say that Zayn Malik’s stress isn’t caused by his money worries! However, we aren’t all on the wage of a world famous superstar so it’s ok for everyone else to feel slightly stressed over money now and again. 

That being said, I’ve decided we all need a little bit of pampering and relaxation every now and again as there’s no better way to de-stress. Of course I couldn’t leave you with my top tips without finding you some amazing deals on spa breaks and weekends away, so here are my best picks:
