Modern
life requires all of us to wear many hats or play several roles;
parent, partner, employee, employer, entrepreneur, community minded
citizen, son, daughter, sister, brother, neighbour, friend. The
hassle and bustle of life puts such a burden on the mind that most
of us are in a state of physical and mental tension... even when
we are asleep. We can get so caught up in the expectations we and
others have for ourselves that we fall out of touch with who we
really are. Celebrities, who are constantly subject to public scrutiny,

and with ease.
