I am not going to lie, I too feel stressed, overwhelmed, unfocused. I will not pretend to be at Deepak Chopra’s level of internal serenity. I am starting my own business and I have two small children, so I do feel stressed. But I can’t let my stress build up for too long, my body won’t allow it, I have what you may call a sensitive immune system – I react to stress like some would react to a strong virus that would leave you physically ill and mentally exhausted.
I have decided to see this ailment as a blessing in disguise. I have spent 23 years of my life wondering why I was cursed with this syndrome. I now understand that this curse has forced me to learn how to deal with stress quickly, and although my body doesn’t know how to cope with stress my mind is more powerful and beneficial in this situation than my body. My mind has the ability and power to tell my body how to feel and how to cope with stress.
I have 23 years of experience in experimenting with different ways to cope with stress. The result is not a person that no longer feels stressed but someone who recognizes it quickly and that knows how to react to it, how to manage it and how to shift the stress response of the body into a thoughtful, relaxing and focused response.
Your health may not be at risk, I wouldn’t wish it on anyone. But we all get to points in our lives where stress, responsibilities, tasks or emotions overwhelm us. We lose our focus, we become the parents that we never wanted to be, our relationships suffer and we don’t like who we presently have become or what our lives are turning into.
Trying to handle our stress or emotions can be time consuming. Just the time it takes to find the right literature on stress management or regaining control of our lives is overwhelming and then finding the time to read it all seems impossible. And once it is read, do we apply it to our lives? Most of us don’t, we let things naturally settle down until the next wave of stress overcomes us weeks or months later.
Let me help you, I have done the research, I have seen many doctors, therapists, read too many books – I have done all of the hard work for you in the last 23 years. So now that you have found someone who understands what you are going through and who knows what needs to be done at this moment and that can help you stay committed and accountable throughout your learning period, please take this opportunity and call me, come be coached by someone who has lived through your difficulties and who knows how to overcome them.
I will:
• Teach you how to manage stress and your emotions
• Show you, hands on, how to incorporate and use specific techniques
• Coach you through your own personal situation
I am offering you a break. A quick way to get results, information and support from someone who will not judge your emotions or reactions but that understands them and solely wants to help you get refocused and return to being the person that you should be.
Live the life you want
Be who you want to be
