Living and staying in the now

"Encourage healthy brain function by focusing on what you are
grateful for every moment of your day.  Start right now.  Ask
us how
"  Your Weekly StressTip


Have you ever wondered what your life would be like living and staying
in the now?

As we get even closer to the end of 2009, we continue to look forward
to what we need for 2010 with anticipation, grace and gratitude.

We look forward to less stress with our family and friends, our business
associates, employees and partners.

Living and staying in the now refers to the process in which individuals
build ongoing, permanent relationships by focusing on and sharing their
emotions for every one's benefit.

Since emotions determine behavior and occur in the now, it is necessary
to be aware of and accept emotions without acting on them and without
judgment.

Community Engagement: Needed for 2010

"Encourage and support others and yourself with creativity
and enthusiasm.
" Your Weekly StressTip


Have you ever wondered what your life would be like with community
engagement?

As we get closer to the end of 2009, we begin to look forward to what
is needed for 2010 with anticipation and grace.

We look forward to community engagement with our family and friends,
our business associates, employees and partners.

Community engagement refers to the process by which organizations
and individuals build ongoing, permanent relationships for the purpose
of applying a collective vision for the benefit of everyone. (Wikipedia)

Businesses that encourage the use of social media and provide access
to social media create community engagement. (The Über-Connected
Organization: A Mandate for 2010
)

Marketing is changing; it's becoming more collaborative, more community
oriented for those who actively seek out social media to engage with one
another.

As you scan the work place you begin to notice businesses looking at
community engagement as a way to being more productive, and a way
to building trust between one another.

Those who engage with each other build trust and are more productive
than those who don't

written by Allegiance, J.D. Power and Associates, Pepper & Rogers
Group, Customer Think, and other thought leaders and industry
practitioners.

Here are few excerpts for your consideration...

"...the single and most important element necessary to
build and sustain engagement...is trust.  Engagement implies
trust and you can't have authentic engagement in the absence
of a trusting relationship, one that possesses both character
(the right intent) as well as competence (the ability to do the
right thing)."  [p. 39]

"One of the biggest business growth opportunities today is to
focus on engagement.  Companies that make it fundamental
to their business cannot be touched by competitors.  They
enjoy more profits during tough times and grow faster during
good times.  It truly is an untapped opportunity..."  [p. 49]

"...Use Customer Feedback and Real-Time Attitudinal Data
to Understand Customer Emotions and Unlock New Growth"

Answers to Questions When Dealing With Stress

"Always look for win-win situations in your personal
and professional life.
"  Your Weekly StressTip


Last week we presented a few questions to arrive at the
cause of stress reactions.

When dealing with stress, yours and anyone else's stress,
cause identification is needed for appropriate action.

Stress is needed to be creative and to live.

Distress and eustress must be avoided since in both cases
your adrenal glands secrete adrenaline; and according to
Dr. Hans Selye, too much adrenaline in your body is worse
than intoxication.

Here a few cause [stressor] examples of stress reactions
[stress indicators/body response]

Breathing ~ when in any activity, breathing is jammed,
reversed, or shallow.

Environment ~ being in sick buildings
http://tinyurl.com/yzj9coh; under fluorescent lights
at any time during the day causes stress reactions such as:
eyes burning, feeling disoriented, headache.

Attitude ~ blaming and negativity is caused by not
expressing what you are feeling and thinking.

Nutrition ~ feeling bloated, physical pain at any time
before, after and during a meal.

"When you focus on your breath you remove False Expectations

  Your Weekly StressTip

Here is a mentor who has recently touched our lives and we are pleased

Introducing with appreciation and gratitude this month's "meet the best"
mentor Pema Chödrön.

Pema Chödrön came into our lives when we wanted to learn more about
fearlessness in every aspect of our life.

The Places That Scare You: A Guide to Fearlessness in Difficult Times, is
a "how-to" guide to "...awaken our basic goodness and connect with
others, to accept ourselves and others complete with faults...and to stay
in the present moment by seeing through the strategies of ego that cause
us to resist life as it is."

Here are few excerpts for your consideration...

"Experiencing our emotional distress.  ...This is a felt experience,
not a verbal commentary on what is happening.  We can feel the
energy in our bodies.  If we can stay with it, neither acting it out
nor repressing it, it wakes up up.  ...Acting out and repressing are
tactics we use to get away from our emotional pain."  [pp. 28-29]

"Compassion is...a relationship between equals.  Only when we
know our own darkness well can we be present in the darkness
of others.  Compassion becomes real when we recognize our
shared humanity."  [p. 50]

"The essence of generosity is letting go.  Pain is always a sign
that we are holding on to something---usually ourselves.  When
we feel unhappy,...inadequate, we get stingy; we hold on tight.
Generosity is an activity that loosens us up."  [p. 94]

Dreaming big and investing in yourself...

...requires a burning desire and an "I can" attitude.

Listen To and Heed Your Inner Voice

"Be confident and generous by living your life knowing
  what really matters to you.
"  Your Weekly StressTip


Who Am I? and What Do I Want? are questions that have been asked
through the ages.  Looking for, listening to and heeding the inner voice
is currently being explored in every aspect of life.

The search for self and purpose is as paramount to stress management,
effective living and learning as is the integration of the mind and the body.

How often have you being faced with making a decision and your mind
sent you one message, and your body sent you another?  A lack of mind-
body integration may be a cause of this often encountered phenomena.

As we all know, the mind and the body interact and influence each other.
What you think and do affects how you feel, and how you feel affects
what you think and do.

This interaction though, is limited to the conscious aspect of your life.

On a deeper level, on the unconscious level, both your thinking and feeling
are affected by energy factors in your body.  Every unresolved issue produces
stress, a body response, and possibly tension.  Every tension is an energy
block in your body.  Every energy block is an unconscious attitude that
suppresses your sense of yourself.

Creating the Life You Want

"Letting go is to fear less and love more."
Your Weekly StressTip


Are you living the life you want?

Is fear and self-doubt getting in your way?

Just about everyone has the potential to create the life they want.

Creating the life you want requires you to have clear intentions.

Creating the life you want requires that you choose and trust
your intentions.

To a great extent the difficulty lies within each one of us -- either
we’re not sure what to do, or we choose not create the life we
know we want.

Choice, intentions, and trust requires attitudinal and behavioral
changes.

The first step is to know, really know what kind of life you want.

When your actions, your emotions and your thoughts are authentic
and congruent; and when you are mindful of the life you want with
appreciation and gratitude every moment of every day, the choice
is yours.

Choose wisely.

Have you ever wondered what courage is and where courage
comes from?

Here is the definition of courage from the Merriam-Webster
Online Dictionary...

...mental or moral strength to venture, persevere, and withstand
danger, fear, or difficulty.

Remember the captain of the plane that went down and floated
on the Hudson River while people waited to be rescued in the
cold waters on the wing of the floating plane?

Remember the last time you took charge of a situation you had
no idea how to handle?

Remember when you supported a position you were passionate
about?

Courage comes from within and is available to everyone when
needed in required situations.

"Taking responsibility for your life means being able
to respond to every aspect of your life by handling
your obstacles and your opportunities.
"
Your Weekly StressTip


To know yourself and your purpose comes from opening
your energy blocks and releasing the feelings that are
there.

Breath, movement and voice are elements of this process,
and are used to open your energy blocks.

Once your energy blocks are opened, and you decide to
let go, and surrender to life as you release the feelings
and perceptions that are found in your energy blocks,
your life becomes yours, and you begin to experience
feelings of well-being.

A return to basics begins and ends with you being in
your body.

The process is one of you getting in touch with, and staying
in touch with your body moment to moment without any
expectations or judgment.

One way to stay in the moment is to focus on your breath.

"Asking questions gives you the opportunity to explore
options and offers you answers that inspire you to live
a purposeful life.
"
Your Weekly StressTip


As we all know, the mind and the body interact and influence
each other.  What you think and do affects how you feel, and
how you feel affects what you think and do.

This interaction though, is limited to the conscious aspect of
your life.  On a deeper level, on an unconscious level, both
your thinking and feeling are affected by energy factors in
your body.

Every unresolved issue produces stress, a body response,
and possibly tension.  Every tension is an energy block in
your body.  Every energy block is an unconscious attitude
that suppresses your sense of yourself.

"Living your life on purpose requires you to know
your purpose.
" Your Weekly StressTip


Have you ever wondered what your life would be
like with a quiet mind and a calm body?  Recently,
attention has been given to an interest in getting
"back to basics."

Questions such as "who am I? and why am I here?"
are being asked, and heard in boardrooms.

These questions have been asked through out the
ages.  Getting back to basics is currently being
explored in every aspect of life.

The search for purpose and for self is as paramount
to stress management, effective living and learning
as is the integration of the mind and the body.

How often have you being faced with making a
decision and your mind sends you one message,
and your body sends you another?

A lack of mind-body integration may be a cause
of this often encountered experience.

Jonah Lehrer came into our lives when we wanted to learn more about

How We Decide, is a "how-to" guide for better understanding of yourself

Here are few excerpts for your consideration...

"...The goal of this book is to answer two question...  How does the human
mind make decisions?  And how can we make those decision better."
[p. xvii]

"The mystery of how we make decisions...is one of the oldest mysteries
of the mind.  Even though we are defined by our decisions, we are often
completely unaware of what's happening inside our heads during the
decision-making process." [p. 9]

"Being authentic and reaching for opportunities that are you
by finding your purpose in life and sharing it with others is
worth being and worth doing
" Your Weekly StressTip


Until recently, stress has been thought of as being unhealthy
and to be avoided.

Did you know that we need stress to live?

Depending on how it is used, stress can be a friend or a foe.
Stress can be helpful or it can be harmful.  Dr. Hans Selye,
the father of stress research, defines stress as "essentially
the rate of wear and tear caused by life."  In his classic book,
The Stress of Life (McGraw-Hill 2nd edition 1978) he considers
the reasons behind many human ailments.

According to Selye, "Stress is pleasant and unpleasant.  Don't
try to avoid it-- you can't. ..."

"On the road to mediocrity

Along the way, we settle.

We settle for something not quite right, or an outfit that isn't our best look,
or a job that doesn't quite maximize our talents. We settle for relationships
that don't give us joy, or a website that's, "good enough."

The only way to get mediocre is one step at a time.

You don't have to settle. It's a choice you get to make every day"

What is Stress?

"Sharing is caring.  At one time or another we've all heard this growing
up; and yet, only some of us do share.  Are you willing to share?  Since
we get to know each other by the stories we hear, read, and tell -- are
you willing to share your story?
"
Your Weekly StressTip


A general statement about what stress is and what stress is not,
as well as a need to 'personal awareness' of the various situations
that create distress.

We all need stress to live.  According to Hans Selye, M.D., "Stress
is not something to be avoided."  It is a "response of the body to
any demand made upon it."

Since stress is a body response, we only know that we are stressed,
or more correctly in distress or eustress, when our body tells us.

Personal awareness of our stress indicators (symptoms) and stressors
(causes) is the first step for proactive responsive action.

study of the white paper writing process, most white paper writers
think research is relatively easy.

is the main reason people seek white papers.  Most...do present
solutions.  However, many immediately...speak of their particular

Distress vs. Eustress


"Self-respect frees you from the expectations of others, and gives
you back to yourself."

[Your Weekly StressTip]


Have you ever asked yourself these question?

"Am I feeling distress?"
"Am I feeling eustress?"

Do you know the difference between the two?

Eustress, the opposite of distress, is stress that is somewhat beneficial
- but not too much; since your body cannot differentiate what stressors
cause distress and what stressors cause eustress.

In both cases, your adrenal glands secrete adrenaline.  According to
Dr. Hans Selye, too much adrenaline in your body is worse than
intoxication.

In both cases, you must learn "how-to" manage and overcome
these stressors: breathing, environment, attitude, and nutrition in
your life and lives of the people you love.

In both cases, it is essential for you to review your lifestyle and goals.

Have you ever asked yourself this question "what is money?"

Arnold Patent, after leaving a successful twenty-five year career
as an attorney and businessman, in his book Money states that
money is energy; and to the degree you have the money you need
is greatly influenced by your beliefs, judgments and consequences
of your actions.

To grasp the notion of money as energy see this video
'What is Energy'

Here is another point of view.

According to Julia Mossbridge "prosperity consciousness, in
its best form, is seeing money as a verb ­ an energy that flows
continuously from hand to hand in support of transformation,
growth, and love."
