Wondering if stresswell™ would be helpful for you?

Each of us is unique, and stressors come in all shapes and sizes.  Yet, our challenges can be quite similar, and our bodies each tend to react to stress in similar ways. 

Oregon_10_05_2small.jpgMost likely, you can remember a time when life seemed pretty good.  But now, you’ve come to realize that a dark shadow has eroded your earlier sense of well-being.

Do any of the following situations describe your current situation? 

  • You’ve invested in multiple time and stress management solutions.  They worked well–for a moment.  At least until you got blindsided with new challenges.  Now, you’re not only maxed out on stress, but also nagged by guilt and shame for being out of control of your life. 
  • Your stress has begun to define your life in ways that aren’t healthy.  Whether you’re a rat or a human being, getting caught in the middle of “the rat race” is detrimental to your health.  You’ve begun to feel older than your chronological age “should” feel.  It might be nagging headaches, a queasy stomach, achy muscles, unexplained mood swings, or simply a vague sense of mid-life fatigue:  Let’s face it, your life hurts.  Any spare energy you muster is quickly drained by even more demands on your time and focus.  And the shimmer of light you once glimpsed at the end of the tunnel is now looking like an oncoming locomotive, with your name plastered across its front.
  • You are the primary caregiver for a chronically or terminally ill family member or friend.  Dependable you, ignoring the quiet little warning signals your body sends you.  A false sense of bravado covers over the growing mess of your life.  Rest?  Who needs it?  When you do take a moment for yourself, you may experience glimpses of anger (followed by guilt) because you’ve had to put your own life on hold.  As you take little or no time for self-care, your own health and well-being have begun to suffer.
  • In what seemed like an instant, everything changed.  A lost job.  A failed relationship.  Death of a loved one.  A life-threatening diagnosis.  You feel lost and alone.  Fueled by loss and ruled by doubt, you find yourself faced with a sense of urgency to act NOW.  You search for solutions as you struggle to maintain some semblance of control.

Are you ready to make a change?  You will be most successful with stresswell™ if you share the following characteristics:

  • You are willing to bring an open heart and an open mind to the process.  You just need help to know what the process is.
  • Whether you call it a gift, an epiphany, a state of grace or a wake-up call, you believe that your life can become better, that you can be happier, but you don’t know how to get there.
  • Deep down, you know that you have to begin doing things differently.  You are willing to let go of old behavior and learn new things and would like some support.
  • You are committed to long-term solutions rather than to a quick fix.
  • Your focus has changed:  from disease to wellness, and from cure to healing and wholeness, but you’re not quite sure where to start.. 
  • You want to be a proactive partner in your health care decisions.
  • You are searching for a program that fits YOUR life
