Instant Stress Relief
at Work - Stress-Dissolving Tool at Your Fingertips
By

 It's
no newsflash to mention that stress levels are rising to unheard of levels in
our lives. It is almost impossible to get through a day at the office (whether
your office is in a posh law firm or at kitchen table) without hearing at least
one person complain about stress. And maybe that person is you. We've all heard
the gruesome statistics showing that 70-90% of all visits to the doctor's office
are directly related to stress. Many say that the same goes for diseases in
general-70% or more are a direct result of stress. And even if we don't have
some full-blown malady catching our attention, looming layoffs and dwindling
401Ks have made everyone more edgy than usual (there's an understatement) The
upshot? Poor performance, increased depression, low morale, coming home and
kicking the family dog.
This is not news.
What is newsworthy, though, is that we now have at our fingertips (literally,
and more about that in a sec) a mind/body tool---a consciousness technology, if
you will---that allows us to gently dissolve stress and release our
tension-packed blocks, rebalance our systems, and return to normal calm
functioning. It takes a matter of moments. The tool is something called EFT,
which stands for Emotional Freedom Techniques. It is one of the best of the new
mind/body approaches we know---think of it as "green medicine," or "green
therapy." Look ,Ma, no drugs. And it really works. By tapping gently on a
particular set of known acupressure points with our fingertips while tuning into
the stressor or problem verbally, the stress or problem dissolves. Sometimes it
takes a minute, sometimes a few minutes. Complex issues can take more work and
time.) It can be done anywhere, and can be taught to just about anyone. Even
you. Even me.
Imagine being
able to dissolve the stress and fears that are causing illness and holding you
or your employees back. Fear of public speaking is one of the most common of all
fears; think of what it would be like to know that you-or your key staff
members, the ones routinely represent your firm--- were free of that fear.
Imagine what it might be like to routinely and quickly diffuse stressful
situations. And how many people might become better performers if their stress
levels were down and their ability to focus was increased substantially?
We are at the
beginning of a new stage of workplace collaboration and understanding and the
companies who are at their peak in terms of emotional balance-emotional
intelligence, some are calling it-are going to be the ones who have the greatest
advantage. Become the change you want to experience by learning EFT. It will
benefit your employees and your bottom line. To find a step-by-step guide to
learning and practicing EFT, there are many EFT sites available. Start
dissolving stress now!
