What is stress?
The Body’s Stress Response
When you perceive a threat, your nervous system responds by releasing a flood of stress hormones, including adrenaline and cortisol. These hormones rouse the body for emergency action.
Your heart pounds faster, muscles tighten, blood pressure rises, breath quickens, and your senses become sharper. These physical changes increase your strength and stamina, speed your reaction time, and enhance your focus – preparing you to either fight or flee from the danger at hand.
Stress is a normal physical response to events that make you feel threatened or upset your balance in some way. When you sense danger – whether it’s real or imagined – the body's defenses kick into high gear in a rapid, automatic process known as the “fight-or-flight” reaction, or the stress response.
The stress response is the body’s way of protecting you. When working properly, it helps you stay focused, energetic, and alert. In emergency situations, stress can save your life – giving you extra strength to defend yourself, for example, or spurring you to slam on the brakes to avoid an accident.
The stress response also helps you rise to meet challenges. Stress is what keeps you on your toes during a presentation at work, sharpens your concentration when you’re attempting the game-winning free throw, or drives you to study for an exam when you'd rather be watching TV.
But beyond a certain point, stress stops being helpful and starts causing major damage to your health, your mood, your productivity, your relationships, and your quality of life.
A great way to relief some stress and expereince a refreshing mental break is to practice the following.
Close your eyes, breath in slowingly through your nose until your chest is fully expanded and breath out completely through your mouth with lips relaxed. Try it now!
You will benefit even greater by doing this breathing exercise 3 to 4 times, mutiple times per day. While doing this breathing exercise internally tell yourself; I am replenishing my vitality with a each deep breath in and letting go of the stress I feel with each breath I exhale. Take a few extra breaths if you want. This practice feels wonderful and you will handle the demands of life much better!
Put a Green Dot on Your Phone
This is your secret reminder to take one deep breath before you answer a call, says Susan Siegel, of the Program on Integrative Medicine at the University of North Carolina school of medicine. Not only will you feel better, but you'll sound more confident.

Welcome to Resolutions Personal Coaching
Thank you for visiting.
Resolutions was conceptualized and developed over the last decade. My training, along with my extensive social service experience has prepared me to pursue a coaching lifestyle and profession. I assist people who are ready to face their need to change stressors in their life.
The coach training and field experience gave me ability to quickly gain an understanding of the a client's personal dynamics at play and in turn guide the conversations to accommodate the needed change revealed. I received intensive experiential training and logged 1000+ hours of field experience before becoming a capable Life Coach.
MY COACHING PRIORITIES:
1.. clarify your priorities
2. listen without judgement
3. support your chosen direction
What Is my role as your Personal Coach?
First of all, what a coach is not is a therapist or counselor. A coach does not keep you stuck in the past events of life.
Together, we will clarify your present situation, clearly lay it out so it can be witnessed, acknowledged and understood.
I will assist you to challenge old beliefs patterns that may have you stuck from trying to advance toward your goals.
I assist with advanced problem solving skills to facilitate changes wanted by you.
I will assist to define your steps or actions neccesary.
I support and hold you accountable to the steps you define.
The coaching process will give you a higher understanding of yourself and your ability to reach your goals faster.
Coaching is a one on one conversation that will facilitate change to address any aspect of your life such as;
self discovery or full expression of self
family or friends communication
health and happiness
employment goals

esteem
ideas
?
But why would you need a coach?
The training tools I have received and use skillfully permits me to assist you with a invaluable assessment of your present situation, help you identify the real issues without judgement and deliver quality supportive assistance to get the results, that you define.
Each of us knows deep down what is needed, sometimes we just have trouble problem solving and following through by taking the necessary action.. My role is too facilitate your thoughts and feelings into action.
I do not give opinion, which can often be received by a family member or a friend, which is normally offered based on what would be best, if they were in your situation. What is best for one person is not always what you should do.
Together we discover what is best for you based on your thoughts and comfort factor moving forward. I am always so honored to bare witness to this rewarding process.
Questions to ponder.
1. Do the same issues or concerns continue to effect you?
2. In what way do the issues effect you?
3. Why are the issues still present in your life?
4. What would life look like if the issues where gone?
5. How would you feel if the issues where no longer present?
