SERIOUSLY SPEAKING - LET IT GO!

In a strange way we've come to glorify stress - it means we are highly productive, right?

We push ourselves to achieve and feel embarrassed about 'low performance'. 

Until the doctor starts talking about blood pressure medication!

Ever hear those ads that claim everybody is on meds?  Ever wonder if this makes any sense?

If you observe other animals - especially those who have not been over 'civilized', it's pretty amazing to watch their rhythms of action and rest.

Each of us needs to find our healthy rhythm.  It's in us.

DANCE WITH IT!   EXPERIENTIAL APPS                           

An opportunity to experiment with some fun ideas…

REMOVING OBSTACLES TO BALANCE

STRESS CREATION: THE INTERNAL STEPS

(Beliefs we learn, internalize, and play out in our heads)

Step one: Our BULLY voice

'You are not doing enough!  Other people do better!  Try harder!'

Step 2: Our VICTIM response

'It is too stressful…I can't … I'm worthless.. . I feel terrible'

Step 3: Our reactive REBEL

"I'll show you!  I won't do anything!  You can't make me!"

CHA CHA CHA  TWIST AND TURN  REPEAT...

AARG!

Now take a deep breath and think about releasing yourself from this churning - What do you imagine you might feel?
