Stress reduction and self-care are now the most searched and saved articles, according to a Mozilla study of 40 million Internet users.
You’re working with clients, patients or students, and before too long, stress, anxiety, problems sleeping and other mental health issues come up. It’s normal, right? Everybody is stressed and things eventually improve, don’t they? Maybe you talk about it with them. Maybe you don’t go there.
It’s clear that stress and anxiety are ongoing issues for your audiences, ones that make it harder to be happy, to do their best and to progress smoothly on their work with you. As a leader, a coach or a teacher, you wish there were simple ways you could help them reduce their stress and anxiety, but how? It’s frustrating because your job is to support their potential, but you’re not their therapist and you can't prescribe medication.
STRESS SLOWS THE PROGRESS OF THOSE YOU SUPPORT
And maybe you see a little or a lot of yourself in some of those you support. Maybe you are stressed and anxious, too, which makes it more challenging and sometimes less enjoyable to do your own work. How can you most effectively help others when you need
some support yourself?
TAKE A DEEP BREATH... BUT THEN WHAT?
Stress is a fact of life that hinders your clients’ progress and health, but you just don’t have the right skills and tools to help them.
Everybody’s stressed and anxious—especially these days—but how do you talk about it in a meaningful way that will motivate someone to take action? Sure, everyone’s heard you should take a deep breath when you’re feeling stressed, but there have to be more concrete techniques. And what about mindfulness? It’s all you hear about, but how do you teach someone to be mindful?
Some or all of the people you work with are busy and not inclined to buy into the benefits of non-chemical stress reducers, let alone to stop and be mindful, or meditate, or breathe. How do you get them to board the stress reduction train?
WHAT IF YOU COULD HELP BUST STRESS, BOOST MOODS, INCREASE ENERGY AND IMPROVE SLEEP?
WHAT IF YOU COULD SAY, "I CAN HELP"
the next time someone says, "I'm always so tense and stressed out"?
WHAT IF YOU COULD TEACH OTHERS
simple, data-driven ways to rapidly relax, focus, feel better and fall asleep?
WHAT IF YOU COULD OFFER UNIQUE TOOLS
to help your audiences chill and thrive for free, anywhere, anytime?
