Stress Management

I was with a PR Company today, Chocolate PR in Leeds, and the MD mentioned that it was nearing a time in the year where stress awareness is promoted...

"I'm stressed out" is a phrase that is commonly touted amongst employees, friends, family members and almost anyone who experiences the pressures and other associated things with life and particularly business. It comes in lots of shapes and forms and is as a result of what some might describe as 'feelings inside' that are produced through the different environments and contexts we face in a our business and personal lives. Each environment contains 'patterns, structure and content' as examples and the information contained within them goes through a process of creating the sensations that trigger 'that feeling' in us that in language we term as 'stress.'

There are tools in the NLP toolbox

Stress is a 'state' and triggers those who are stressed to experience different forms of behaviour. Some people become angry, others irritable and some generate physical symptoms such as nail biting or irritation of the skin. When applied with the correct sequencing, state management tools i.e processes and techniques contained within the NLP toolbox, very much assist in the reduction and eradication of common stress behaviours. The mind creates its own patterns of your experiences and that creates the feeling associated with the context that is stressful. With NLP tools a client would work with the Practitioner to identify the structure of the patterns and change the patterning, which is 'sensory based.' This process involves asking the client questions surrounding memory structures along with questioning and directing the client through a series of steps to achieve the preferred state or feeling they want that would create more 'choice' for them in their chosen context. Some tools can be applied by self and achieve preferred outcomes.
