![]() How'd your holidays go? Did you plan ahead enough to get all the rest and restoration possible in a holiday vacation? Did you get good, quality family time or did it just add to the stress of the holiday season? I hope you didn't get caught in any pre-holiday shopping mall stampede- those will shoot up anyone's blood pressure. Hopefully you didn't cave at the sight of mini cheesecake bites and chocolate cookies like yours truly did. Well, either way that's all behind us (and maybe the behind's a little bigger) and on to a new year. New possibilities, new hopes, new plans. New opportunities to rise above challenges and make the most of the year, the most of our life. At the center of my stress reduction protocols are biofeedback and other HeartMath techniques. Here's a simple technique (though it might not easy in the midst of high stress) to build yourself up with positive energy in order to face the challenges with more poise, resilience and positive demeanor. Tool: Inner Ease™ Technique This technique can be done anywhere, at any time. It cuts right through stress and allows for a whole variety of responses besides just "freak out mode." Here's a short video by Howard Martin, one of the founders of HeartMath, explaining its use in the workplace for managing expectations either brought on by yourself or others.
Here's to a peaceful, stress-free 2013. If you'd like more tools and support in overcoming stress, I'm only a phone call away. To your good health,
