Stress Management Programs for Individuals and Organisations

"Harvard Business Review did a study in the 1980's which showed that semantic responses, that is emotional reactions and hidden agendas, cost American companies seventy billion dollars a year in lost business. And that was just in the boardroom!" Richard Bandler Cofounder of NLP

What prevents you from performing at peak?

The primary responsibilities of the Quality Assurance Department are to ensure that the delivered product or service meets the standards required by the organisation but what is it that actually prevents both management and employees from meeting the highest standards required from them? Taking it as a given that both management and employees are qualified to do the job then there are really only two things that prevent them from performing on peak: the first is physical health and the second is state of mind.

What is stress?

Stress is the body's way of responding to a stimulus. The stimulus does not always have to be 'bad' in fact people can become stressed from too much of a good thing. Stress can be caused by a threat to survival, real or imagined, or in just trying to keep the business afloat and pay the bills. In some cases stress can result in a post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Stress can be caused by environmental triggers such as cold and heat, sunlight, poor lighting, pollution, noise; by poor diet, drug use or lack of sleep. Stress can result from over work or challenging work situations and relationship conflicts. Life seems to offer an unending choice of stressors. The good thing is that we can change our response to at least some of the stressors by learning how to manage our thought processes.

What does stress cost you? How does stress limit performance and productivity?

“Stress is the most common cause of ill health in our society, probably underlying as many as 70% of all visits to family doctors.” (David B. Posen, MD. The Canadian Journal of Continuing Medical Education, April 1995)

"Workplace stress can cause, nervousness, tension, strain, anxiety, headaches, insomnia, difficulty concentrating, irritability, indigestion, depression and increase the risk of heart disease." (The cost of workplace stress in Australia, August 2008 Medibank report.)

"Stress has been linked to hypertension, heart attacks, diabetes, asthma, chronic pain, allergies, headache, backache, various skin disorders, cancer, and immune system weakness." ([1] Nation’s Business, December, 1994 in Research on Stress and Meditation.)

Is meditation an effective stress management tool?

A study on meditation in the workplace showed that meditation was effective in:

• Reducing anxiety, job tension insomnia and fatigue.
• Reducing cigarette and alcohol abuse.
• Increasing effectiveness on the job.
• Increasing job satisfaction.

([3] TM is a Cost Effective Solution to Job Stress.)

Can meditation reverse heart disease?

Studies show that, “Long-term meditators experience 80% less heart disease and 50% less cancer than non meditators.” ([r ] Meditation as Medicine By Dharma Singh Khalsa, M.D. and Cameron Stauth.)

"Meditation has been shown to be effective in reducing stress, lowering blood pressure, lessening anxiety, reversing heart disease, stopping smoking, weight loss, eating disorders, addictions, boosting the immune system, dealing with negative emotions, and improving scholastic and sports performance." ([2] Meditation: Focusing your mind to achieve stress reduction.)

What are the benefits of meditation?

• Focus the mind and increase your ability to concentrate.
• Relax, quieten the mind and find a sense of inner peace.
  
• Gain mastery of the mind and your emotions.
• Create favourable brainwave states.
• Be more alert.
• Dissolve stress and become more relaxed in stressful situations.
• Learn how to detach from emotions that block success.
• Improve your sleep.
• Develop a greater sense of self awareness and self responsibility.
• Increase self esteem.
• Use more of the brain and enhance your creativity and intuition.

In a business context this has to result in better decision making, a lower staff churn rate, a more positive perception of the business by the customer, increased productivity and increased profitability. Is that something which interests you?

Meditation combined with hypnosis and NLP gives you powerful tools for stress management.

As NLP works with the actual structure of the mind it reigns supreme in dealing with stress related issues. Negative emotions that are associated with past events can be released rapidly and gently such that when you check back to those memories afterwards you won't be able to find the negative emotions. In addition, using NLP techniques, you can learn how to change the tonality, volume and tempo of the internal dialogue from something that creates stress in the mind and body to a way of thinking that creates relaxation, confidence or whatever state you need at the time.

Hypnosis gives us a model for directly influencing the mind and body by asking questions or making suggestions that direct the unconscious mind to create the desired outcome.

Meditation and Neuro Semantics (NS), a development of NLP, gives us tools for learning how to quieten both mind and body and get in the drivers seat. Daily meditation practice may be enough for some people, but others may need to utilise hypnosis to train the body and mind to reach deeper states of relaxation.

Read what Colin has to say about using NLP and hypnotherapy to manage stress:

"I attended the NLP workshop because I wanted a method to control extreme stresses in my life. I learned how to do this in one weekend. I was able to cleanse past experience that were distasteful to me and learn something positive from those occasions. What's more I learnt a way to achieve my ambitions and improve my life's values. Now I can relax my mind and body enough to meditate.

Abby's workshop has opened a whole new world for me - previously I felt that workshops such as this were of little or no benefit. I appreciate the doors that have opened for me." Colin Hannan Caloundra, Qld.

Are you ready to learn how to get in the drivers seat of your mind and take yourself to higher levels of success?

Drawing upon 35 years of personal experience I have combined the technologies of NLP, hypnosis and meditation to create simple yet highly effective procedures to help you master your mind and state. You will learn in a fraction of the time that it takes with traditional stress management procedures, how to clear thoughts from your mind and create a sense of peace, such that you can then focus on what is really important to you. The metaphor I like to use is that of moving from the back seat into the drivers seat of your mind, and learning to use the controls such that you learn to manage the mind rather than it drive you.
