Get a handle on stress before it does permanent damage
In LIGHTEN Your Day there are hundreds of fast, effective, and easy tools designed specifically to be used in the now. Why so many? Because each of us is unique we don't need a one-size-fits-all tool for stress relief. What works for one person may not work for you.
The book's foundation is the LIGHTEN Model, and the tools suggested are organized around the areas of your life that need to be nurtured in order to achieve long-term stress-relief:
If you are stressed about hitting your sales quota, take a look at the Livelihood or Time chapter. Worried about that next presentation? The Imagination chapter has some great techniques. Anxious about your next doctor's appointment? Check out the Genius or Health chapter. Meeting your in-laws? The Network chapter is the place to go.
The intent of this book is that you keep it handy for whenever or wherever you need it: that important meeting/presentation, that difficult conversation you need to have, the multiple priorities all needing your attention right now, or anything else that stresses you out as it happens.
YAY! Well done, Pete, for surviving all that! :D :D And finally life gets to be a bit more enjoyable. I think we've earned it...! All the best!
