Simply Stress Free Stress is a term used to describe the wear and tear the body experiences in reaction to everyday tensions and pressures. Change, illness, injury or career and lifestyle changes, are common causes of stress. However, it's the emotional pressure and tension we feel in response to the little everyday hassles - rush hour traffic, waiting in line, and too many emails, that do the most damage.
How does stress affect your business? Stress affects people physically, mentally and emotionally. According to the American Institute of Stress, up to 90% of all health problems are related to stress. Too much stress can contribute to and agitate many health problems including heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke, depression and sleep disorders.
How stressed are you?
- I feel overly tired or fatigued
- I often am nervous, anxious or depressed
- I have sleep problems
- I have repeated headaches or minor aches and pains
- I worry about job security, financial obligations or relationships
What can you do about it? The first step is to understand how stress works. It's not the events or situations that do the harm; it's how you respond to those events. More precisely, it's how you feel about them that determines whether you are stressed or not. Emotions have a powerful impact on the body. Research shows that when you intentionally shift to a positive emotion, heart rhythms immediately change. This shift in heart rhythms creates a favorable cascade of neural, hormonal and biochemical events that benefit the entire body. The effects are both immediate and long lasting.
This is the only scientifically-validated system of stress intervention techniques and objective biometric feedback that quantifiably- and dramatically -boosts the health and performance of individuals and organizations.
Nearly 1,400 people at six global companies showed the following results were sustained six months after taking HeartMath training:
- 60% reduction in anxiety
- 45% reduction in exhaustion
- 41% reduction in intent to leave the job
- 24% improvement in ability to focus
How do I get started? As a licensed provider of this system I will work with you one on one by telephone or in my office for 4-6 weeks. You will learn the techniques that generated the impressive results you just read about. I have personally experienced a dramatic transformation in my life using these tools and I have a great passion for bringing them to others. Go to the Contact Us page and call me or send an e-mail. We will set up a time to talk about your needs and what program might best serve you.
