The High Cost of Doing Nothing
Chronic stress causes so many serious health issues that rob us of fulfilling lives personally and in our jobs. Stress results in anxiety, depression, and hypertension. If untreated, chronic stress significantly increases the risk of serious health conditions such as heart disease and stroke. It is important that anyone dealing with a high degree of stress take action to reduce these risks. Sadly, the cost of doing nothing could be your physical, mental, or emotional health.
Failure to recognize and reduce the impact of workplace stress comes at a cost to businesses as well as employees. According to a report from the Industrial Accident and Prevention Association, cited by UMass Lowell, there are perils and costs to businesses ignoring the impact of workplace stress. Among them are the increased costs resulting from stress-related rises in turnover, litigation, absenteeism, health insurance claims, short and long-term disability, and depression and corresponding declines in employee satisfaction and commitment.
The Solution
I focus on what we can do to improve the situation. I developed a comprehensive approach to managing stress and, more importantly, changing your response to stress going forward. It is possible for you to approach your job from a place of calm and focus.
I teach my clients a variety of techniques and methods to support body and mind in managing stress. Because of its vast array of benefits, for both professional and personal life, an integral part of my approach is meditation. Meditation has been scientifically proven to actually change the way our brains respond to stress. With a regular practice of meditation, just minutes a day, you can obtain a range of benefits that include improved concentration and focus, analytical skills, decision making, and becoming more solution-oriented. Meditation also enhances team building, negotiation, communication and listening skills, as well as improved inter-personal relationships.
Meditation is a powerful ally and strategy in the workplace. It stimulates mental activity and creativity, increases attention spans, and improves time-management. Because it offers equally impressive health benefits, it helps reduce absenteeism and health-related expenses.
The goals of meditation and business are in sync – enhancing professional growth, productivity, and fulfillment for employees and employers.
I look forward to working with you.
