Stress Management – Relief and Resilience

Stress Management techniques for health coaches- Relief and Resilience in Today’s World

In the last few years, we’ve all lived through types and levels of stress that haven’t been rated or studied.  I’d love to hear from you about your experience with stress, how you’ve responded, and what has worked for you.

In the 1970s there was a huge Harvard Study on stress and Dr. Benson ended up rating stressful situations with a numerical system.  Death of a spouse was rated at 100 pts, marriage at 50, and being jailed ranked right under marriage, and the death of a close relative and very close to marital reconciliation.  Can you imagine what a pandemic, racial strife, Ukrainian invasion, and financial fear would rank?

The Harris Poll, an annual “Stress in America” survey done in March 2022, found that more Americans rated inflation and the situation in Ukraine as more stressful than any other situation in the last 15 years of the poll (the full history of the poll).

In view of all the added stress of the past few years, that fact is mind-boggling.

We at The Health Coach Group have accumulated years of research and empirical studies to come up with real and reliable solutions to stress management techniques for health coaches that not only relieve stress at the time it is being experienced but, also build a reservoir of resilience to be able to respond better when stress pops up.
