Not all Stress is Bad
Researchers have continuously validated that employees perform poorly under stress. This does not mean that work should not present challenges, just the opposite. Good pressure assists and contributes to development, and bad stress hinders productivity.
Ask yourself questions to determine whether you are experiencing good or bad stress.
Do you feel trapped, overwhelmed, alone, or not valued and more stressed after the challenges pass?
Do you feel pressure, collaboration, camaraderie, and celebration after the pressure passes?
Turn Bad Stress into Good Stress
Taking a moment to collect yourself with some breathing techniques may be beneficial in turning lousy stress into good stress. Try this - while sitting comfortably, close your eyes and breathe in for a count of 5. Next, gently hold your breath for a count of 5, then exhale slowly for 7. Breathe in this pattern several times.

Schedule a Rejuvenation Station at Your Workplace
These onsite stations have been appreciated by Veterans residents and staff of Dismas House for several years.
I am now offering the opportunity for employers to set up a station for their team. We can set up the station in a quiet room; a 10' x 10' space is ideal, or we can create several workarounds. During the Rejuvenation Station visit, employees sign up for 15-minute time slots. Participants can pay individually, or the company can pay for the station on the day of service—rate: $125/hour for four 15-minute sessions. Discounts are available for regularly scheduled visits with automated payments, for example, weekly or every other week. Below, I added a sample sign-up sheet that could be used for a 5-day/one-hour station. Rejuvenation Day will quickly become the favorite day to come to work!

Workplace Wellness
When employees' emotions are cycling in their ideal rhythm, productivity soars, employees have fewer sick hours, and employers have fewer turnovers. Emotional resilience is the core building block to creating and maintaining a great corporate culture. Being in a graduate program, I have found overwhelming support for the connection between happy and healthy employees and great corporate culture.
Furthermore, healthy and happy people make better employees. We are all dealing with something in our personal lives. Sometimes, home issues can be impossible to leave at home, are brought to work, and affect everyone else. If you have struggling employees, allow me to work with them before you begin the replacement process. Although not all situations are manageable, my services are probably considerably less expensive than replacing an employee and might be well worth your investment.
If you already have great employees and culture, schedule me to come once a week (or month), set up a restoration station, and treat your staff to 15-minute sessions. I assure you that the results will be impressive, and I expect them to appear in the numbers. (otherwise, why would you invest in something right?)
