5 Steps to Less stress! Better ENERGY, PERFORMANCE, WELLBEING   What stresses you out? Are you feeling ok? Is there an upset somewhere in your life or workplace that is throwing off your performance?"      In my work with highly ambitious leaders and entrepreneurs, I constantly hear ‘I am stressed’ and ‘I am overwhelmed. People say they need a deadline to be driven to create, to be challenged, to be more productive, and excel. But how do stress and wellbeing get along?   While stress in the short term can be ‘positive’, long-term stress can be detrimental to your health.   This is where the methodology of COR.E Energy comes into play, Energy Leadership methodology created by Bruce D Schneider, founder of the Institute for Professional Excellence in iPEC Coaching. And has challenged then supported by many studies. ‘NEGATIVE’ aka Catabolic Energy - Energy under stress Under stress the brain creates catabolic hormones like adrenaline and cortisol. These break down the body's cells and tissues and provide energy to push through the stress. This energy known as ‘negative’ is also known as Catabolic. This lower vibrating energy is a draining and destructive energy. This can be useful under the pressure of deadlines or for wining a marathon but in the long term it creates tension and is draining mentally and physically. Too much of this leads to burnouts, depression, sickness etc. ‘POSITIVE’ aka Catabolic Energy - Energy with Less Stress Anabolic energy, a higher vibration energy. This constructive and healing energy acts as a building force that fuels the body, creativity, performance, and your interactions. It’s associated with less stress (or perception that stress exists). This happens because when the brain isn’t under stress, it tells the body to release anabolic hormones, such as endorphins and dopamine into the body that are designed to optimize systems. As a result, it is easier to focus on solutions, tap into creativity, and experience a more complete and conscious view of situations. Moving from Catabolic to Anabolic energy leads to increased happiness, joy, productivity, and success in all areas. This is why I so love what I do. 5 Steps to Less Stress Step 1 - Awareness Step 2 - Acceptance Step 3 - Conscious Choice Step 4 - Change your thoughts and you change your experience.  Step 5 - Be 100% present in the moment and engaged.  Read the complete article.
