What's Stress Got to do With It? Responses to Improve Your Well-Being
February 12, 2011
How should you handle your stress? You’ve heard it before – eat nutritious food, drink plenty of pure water, stop smoking, practice meditation, and exercise. But let’s face it, changing our habits is inconvenient if not downright difficult!
Did you know that stress is one of the greatest contributors to poor health, and is the root cause for 90% of doctor visits? It affects our ability to conceive, the developing fetus, our growing children, and our health as adults. Over time, stress can lead to illness and unhappiness.
What can you do? In this seminar you will gain a fundamental understanding of the physiology of emotions and how they directly influence your health and well-being. Learn how to identify the difference between the heart beat pattern of stress versus coherence – a state that directly benefits the other systems of your body. Observe the affects of your emotions within your own body through an interactive biofeedback exercise, and explore proven “in the moment” techniques to reduce the impacts of stress while supporting your overall lifestyle.
Over time, with further practice and deeper knowledge, you can change the physiology of stress into the physiology of quick recovery, increased energy, and emotional flexibility – the perfect antidote for your fast-paced and chaotic life.
Upon completion of this seminar you will be able to:
- Describe three potential physical impacts of stress on health.
- Identify how different emotional states impact heart beat patterns.
- List two systems within the body that are directly influenced by emotional stress.
- List three ways to reduce the impacts of stress.
