GETTING FROM BURNED-OUT TO PUMPED-UP! How to Pursue Passion to Stifle Stress
Is your group working too much or too hard (or both)? Burn-out is serious business that affects life in general, and business in particular; reverse it by encouraging them to pursue their passions. Many people don’t realize that their interests are actually within reach; when they do, they enjoy renewed energy and enthusiasm in all parts of their lives, including the workplace. Dave knows, because his passion for solar eclipses has had a profound effect on his own life, keeping his stress levels in check, contributing to his business success, and helping to keep his sanity while caring for his wife during her battle with breast cancer. In this unique and memorable program, Dave illustrates this concept using examples from his own life as well as others’.
Your audience will learn:
- how to identify their own passions
- that pursuit of passion is “doable,” not just a pipe dream
- how to take action, step-by-step
- how passions soothe stressed minds and bodies
- the profound effects that passions will have on their lives, whether they are stressed by work, cancer, caregiving, or anything else!
More passion at leisure means more effective at work and at home! Exciting eclipse video, slides, and music inspire and encourage everyone to get started right away!
REDUCE YOUR STRESS: 20 Ideas that are Fun, Easy, and Doable!
THE PROBLEM: Stress relief has a Catch-22: reducing stress can be stressful! Why? Because learning stress-relief skills can seem like a “project,” and a new project is the last thing that stressed people need on their plate.
EXAMPLE: Books, CDs, DVDs… they’re great, but finding the time is stressful. The result: no learning, no stress relief.
EXAMPLE: Exercise is very important and good for you, but learning how and what to do, and how to fit it into crazy-busy lives can be overwhelming. The result: no exercise, no stress relief.
THE ANSWER: Short, quick, easy-to-implement ideas and strategies that not only reduce existing stress, but avoid new stress as well.
