I keep hearing from people - friends, colleagues, Facebook friends, LinkedIn Connections - how they've never experienced more change than they are in this moment. And how you choose to look at it is an opportunity to change your life. Many of us look at it as stressful.
When the Center for Disease Control conducted a study, they learned that 75% of American adults experience some
form of stress every two weeks. Over half that number labels their stress as
moderate or high.
After resisting it for years, modern medicine is finally acknowledging how stress contributes to both physical and mental health problems, including high blood
pressure, depression, alcoholism and addiction, strokes and a declining immune
system. As many as 90% of doctors’ visits are stress related. And the biggest
cause of stress is change.
Right now, change is happening so fast – globally, locally
and individually – it can feel like being on a roller coaster. You know you
should “embrace” it. “Adapt” rather than stress out. But just when you get a
little comfortable with the most recent change, here comes more!
When the bumps, dips, curves and dives come at you so fast,
it’s easy to feel:
§
Frustrated
§
Resentful
§
Irritated
§
Jealous
§
Afraid
§
Angry
§
Anxious
§
Uncertain
It’s impossible to keep your balance, achieve your goals,
and stay positive. Change affects your job, your family, your relationships and
your finances. It takes a toll on your body, your mind and your spirit. Trapped
on a perpetual roller coaster of emotion, it can be hard to make sense of anything.
If change is having an impact on your life and you'd like to deal with it differently, join me for a Reality Roundtable that will give you the five keys to experiencing rapid and intense change in an
innovative way that makes you the beneficiary of your potential. You’ll return
to your life, already in progress, after learning how to:
- Understand
the one reason change occurs.
- Discover
the secret of the third option.
- Stop
searching for the “answer” and look for this instead.
- Shift
your perception about goals and how to achieve them.
- Reverse
the curse of “I did everything the right
way - why is this happening?”
The next one is at the Enchanted Spirits Education Center in Dunedin on Tuesday, April 19th from 7:00-8:30 p.m. Tickets are $15 and can be purchased by calling 727-286-6279. Seating is limited so that everyone participating receives the most value.
I'll be scheduling a virtual Roundtable in the next week, so those of you not in the area can benefit. If you have suggestions around days or times, please feel free to e-mail me at staci@stacib.com.
Change. The quickest way to see who you're not.
Be light!
