The Light Approach to Stress Management
Let's face it: we cannot control all the stressful events that happen
at the office, at home, or in the world arena, but we can learn how to
respond to these events in a healthy way. The way we respond is the
most important factor determining how we fare when under stress. Thus,
the real job of stress management is teaching self-management: it is an
inside job.
The primary aim of this presentation is to encourage us to discover,
appreciate, and affirm our own inner resources for handling everything
from day-to-day challenges to major crisis.
An effective starting point is to recognize that we can take ourselves
more lightly as we take seriously what we have to do. Keeping a
wholesome sense of humor significantly lightens our load
and radically changes our perspective so that we can respond to life's
trials and tribulations creatively and constructively. In addition,
hearty laughter is excellent for the heart, the organ that often suffers
most under stress.
The presenter is a humorist as well as a wellness and stress management
consultant. With the light approach to stress management, he
brings much to laugh about, but even more important, he introduces many
other tools that help us deal with stress gracefully. Learn centering
techniques to gain composure and inner strength, breathing exercises to
calm the nerves and bring emotional stability, physical stretches to release
tension, visualization for creating self-confidence, and meditation for
bringing a healthy perspective and state of mind.
The Power of Laughter for Healing, Productivity, and Creativity
"Humor is not a trick, not jokes. Humor is a presence
in the world -- like grace -- and shines on everybody."
~ Garrison Keillor
The greatest business and spiritual leaders have exemplified and
extolled a good sense of humor. They know that overseriousness lowers
morale, dampens the spirit, and obstructs creativity and cooperation.
Modern research has proven the benefits of humor for productivity and
for both physical and mental health.
The presenter shares the wisdom and humor of these greatest teachers
and leaders, and the results of numerous studies being conducted at
universities nationwide.
Humor gives us balance against the gravity of life. In stressful
times, wholesome laughter provides a healthy alternative to despair
and resignation. Even in the darkest times, we can keep light inside,
"a presence in the world ... that shines on everybody."
Humor keeps us loose, energized, and mentally sharp. Laughter is aerobic.
Norman Cousins, who used laughter to help cure himself from a life-threatening
illness, called laughter "inner jogging:" it improves circulation,
oxygenates the blood, and relieves pain and stress. It helps prevent heart
disease, strokes, cancer, depression, and other stress-related diseases.
"One who laughs, lasts!" Appropriate humor brings people together. In the
words of comic, musician, and mathematician Victor Borge, "laughter is the
shortest distance between two people."
Learn and appreciate the benefits of humor and how to bring more
humor into your life -- even into your workplace.
- Laughter Is a Good Stretch, Too: Humor, Healing, and Yoga
Similar to the above, but also including parallels between
the benefits of humor and yoga, with an added introduction
to yoga and laughing postures.
- Introduction to Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy
Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy (PRYT) is a body-oriented healing
art that combines the science of yoga with elements of contemporary
bodymind psychology. It includes assisted yoga postures, breathwork,
and, optionally, verbal dialogue and focusing. It can be effective
both for those who are new to personal growth and yoga and for those
who wish to complement traditional forms of therapy. It is
especially helpful for deepening your personal practice of yoga
and for becoming more aware of the connection between your physical
and emotional experience.
- Play for Healing and Wholeness ~ A Workshop That's Just for Fun
Many great philosophers and healers have exulted the value of play
for health and wholeness, yet today play is often shunned as
useless and a waste of time. Leo Buscaglia once said "The human
need to play is a powerful one. When we ignore it, we feel something
is missing in our lives." Explore that missing piece through pure
fun, cooperative and noncompetitive play, and theater improvisation
games. Appreciate and honor that funloving spirit that has led you
to read this far! Explore ways to invoke your creative, genuine
self.
