Stress can be a good thing. It brings urgency and can elevate focus.

However, when stress builds up over time, (which it does) the effects are only negative. According to The American Psychological Association of America, money and WORK are the top two sources of significant stress.

TOP 5 EFFECTS OF STRESS

Unhappiness
Loss of attention, focus and productivity (costs you $$$)
Disengagement (loss of motivation)
Absenteeism (we don’t show up at work or aren’t present in our personal lives)
Health problems (high blood pressure, heart issues, bad moods and temptation of addictions)

At my company, ENGAGEteams360, we understand and highly value the benefits of mental, physical and emotional wellness. It's not a question of meditating to levitate above your desk or during a Netflix bing. It’s not about going on extreme diets (food heavily impacts our stress levels and overal sense of wellbeing), It’s not about becoming a gym rat.

Improve your health and wellness by minimizing stress. Start by being aware of your stress levels and adjust accordingly.

A simple deep intentional breath as a starting point can do wonders to immediately minimize your stress. Your attitude will improve, as will your mood. You might even crack a smile and become happy when you dump the life crap that is stressing the hell out.

One simple breath is all it takes...

… and exhale (or sigh… or SCREAM!). You’ve got this.

THANK YOU.
