Creating Balance In A World Of Stress

Creating Balance in a World of STRESS is about having the tools you require to create the needed balance in your life that will in turn reduce the majority of stressors that you face on a daily basis. Balance is created when we can accomplish a smooth flow in all areas of our lives: work, school, home, family, friends and relaxation time. Unfortunately, when we get overwhelmed with duties, responsibilities, commitments, and obligations, we seem to place our own time for relaxation on the back burner. Ignoring our need for relaxation will result in burnout and stress. Creating Balance in a World of STRESS takes you through each part of your life and gives you ways to balance each area, what actions need to be taken and numerous ideas, tips, and techniques to get you where you want to be. The book explains the six key habits to avoid that will reduce stress and optimize health. The end result will leave you stress-free and empowered to establish inner peace, happiness, positive thinking, and healthy living.

The author of The Willpower Instinct delivers a controversial and groundbreaking new book that overturns long-held beliefs about stress. More than forty-four percent of Americans admit to losing sleep over stress. And while most of us do everything we can to reduce it, Stanford psychologist and bestselling author Kelly McGonigal, Ph.D., delivers a startling message: Stress isn’t bad. In The Upside of Stress, McGonigal highlights new research indicating that stress can, in fact, make us stronger, smarter, and happier—if we learn how to embrace it. The Upside of Stress is the first book to bring together cutting-edge discoveries on the correlation between resilience—the human capacity for stress-related growth—and mind-set, the power of beliefs to shape reality. As she did in The Willpower Instinct, McGonigal combines science, stories, and exercises into an engaging and practical book that is both entertaining and life-changing, showing you: • how to cultivate a mind-set to embrace stress • how stress can provide focus and energy • how stress can help people connect and strengthen close relationships • why your brain is built to learn from stress, and how to increase its ability to learn from challenging experiences McGonigal’s TED talk on the subject has already received more than 7 million views. Her message resonates with people who know they can’t eliminate the stress in their lives and want to learn to take advantage of it. The Upside of Stress is not a guide to getting rid of stress, but a guide to getting better at stress, by understanding it, embracing it, and using it.
