Stress Mastery For Attorneys - Sample From Bestselling Book, Invisible Stress, By Dr. Sylvia Lafair, Now Available At No Charge In PDF Format

Sylvia Lafair is the founder of Creative Energy Options (CEOinc), a global business consulting firm and the world’s leading authority in Pattern Breakthrough Leadership Development, a Top Global Leadership Guru, the developer of the Stress Management Program for Leaders, and a best-selling author.

Attorneys experience a level of stress that most of us cannot imagine. This can lead quickly to burnout. To help attorneys and others involved in the judicial system, Dr. Sylvia Lafair, developer of the Stress Management Program for Leaders and author of the bestselling book about stress management, ‘Invisible Stress, It’s Not What You Think’, has made a portion of her highly praised book available at no charge in PDF format.

When asked about how attorneys can learn to master stress, Dr. Lafair stated:

Have you ever complained about feeling burned out? Or has the word overwhelm become an integral part of your vocabulary? I am not talking about feeling overtired and needing a day off. I am suggesting that burnout is a constant state of frustration and heightened sensitivity to life's daily ebb and flow. Burnout leads to extremes of either isolation and detachment or, conversely, demanding constant attention from others. Many report feeling like their work no longer matters. There is often a sense of disappointing others. Then it morphs into an "I don't give a damn" attitude.

Lawyers are especially susceptible to professional burnout.

Did you know that some careers have more disappointments and obstacles than others? Those who choose the law have chosen a complex, demanding, and rewarding career. The legal profession is a most valued helping profession. Here you help people one-one or in small groups through high-stakes situations. Research states that this leads to burnout: Constant disappointments and enormous obstacles are often seen as impossible to traverse.

Look, everyone has tests and trials to overcome at work. Talk to anyone, and you will hear a complaint of overwhelm, imposter syndrome, and self-doubt. However, legal professionals are here to heal a hurt, fix an injustice, or find a better solution than a client can figure alone. Lawyers, like physicians, teachers, and therapists, can feel the emotional distress of clients. The concern for clients can bleed into personal time. Then burnout is right around the corner.

Stress Mastery skills help to avoid burnout.

You can be in control of your stress. Think of it this way: stress is a personal response to an external stimulus. Example: When you were three, a neighborhood dog bit your leg. It required six stitches. Now you hear a dog bark. What would you do? When a stressor occurs, you automatically register the degree of danger. Then you make a quick decision, fight, flight or freeze. Most who an animal report has bitten want to either run in the other direction or can't move from the spot. All situations have a memory aspect. This dog is not the dog from decades ago. Your reaction, however, may be the same. Train your brain to oversee stress and not be affected by it. Your task is to train your brain to react positively, not out of fear.

When asked about workplace stress in a general sense, Lafair replied, "The critical question to ask yourself these days is 'Do you want to have less stress and more confidence as you navigate your career and home life?' The quickest route to effective communication and collaboration comes from learning unique methods to be a stress master. We need to extend the same treatment to our emotions as we do to our bodies"

Dr. Sylvia Lafair is an expert on stress in the workplace. Over the last several decades, she has worked nationally with dozens of salon owners, their leadership, and creative teams. Her new book and online program were developed per requests for the most effective ways to navigate our complex, ever-changing world and land on our feet. A portion of her bestselling book, 'Invisible Stress' is now available as a free pdf download at her website at https://ceoptions.com. She also moderates a stress management Facebook group for stress mastery at https://www.facebook.com/groups/thestressmastery/.

• Gain cutting-edge methods to tackle root causes of overwhelm and self-doubt.

Stress Mastery For Beauty Salon Workers - Sample From Bestselling Book, Invisible Stress, By Dr. Sylvia Lafair, Now Available At No Charge In PDF Format

Sylvia Lafair is the founder of Creative Energy Options (CEOinc), a global business consulting firm and the world’s leading authority in Pattern Breakthrough Leadership Development, a Top Global Leadership Guru, the developer of the Stress Management Program for Leaders, and a best-selling author.

Dr. Sylvia Lafair, developer of the Stress Management Program for Leaders and author of the bestselling book about stress management, ‘Invisible Stress, It’s Not What You Think’, has made a portion of her highly praised book available at no charge in PDF format.

We hear a lot about stress these days. Not surprising, as stress affects us all. And there are many forms of stress. Stress is natural; a part of what it means to be human. For many of us, much of the stress we experience is found in the workplace. When the subject of stressful occupations come up, we immediately think of policemen, firemen, members of the military, aircraft controllers or perhaps nuclear power plant operators. Seldom do we think about those who work in the beauty industry. But we should.

Those who work in the beauty industry must put in long hours. The work is physically demanding. They must deal with members of the public, some not so nice (to put it mildly). Hairdressers especially are often forced by clients play a dual role and are often expected to serve as amateur psychologists. Beauty workers, like health care workers, must have direct contact with clients - even during a pandemic. Unrealistic client expectations. Self-doubt. Lack of confidence. Social media misinformation. The list goes on and on.

When asked about workplace stress, Lafair replied, "The critical question to ask yourself these days is 'Do you want to have less stress and more confidence as you navigate your career and home life?' The quickest route to effective communication and collaboration comes from learning unique methods to be a stress master. We need to extend the same treatment to our emotions as we do to our bodies"

Powerful Strategies To Overcome The Long Term Effects Of Stress Offered By Dr. Sylvia Lafair, Bestselling Author Of Invisible Stress: It’s NOT What YOU Think

Sylvia Lafair is the founder of Creative Energy Options (CEOinc), a global business consulting firm and the world’s leading authority in Pattern Breakthrough Leadership Development, a Top Global Leadership Guru, and a best-selling author.

The dire predictions about the long term effects of the pandemic are now coming to pass. According to a recent article by the American Psychological Association titled, "One year later, a new wave of pandemic health concerns", a Harris Poll conducted in February 2021 revealed some startling facts regarding the effect of stress on our mental and physical health. As stated in the article, "The prolonged stress experienced by adults, especially the high levels of stress reported by Americans directly linked to the pandemic, is seriously affecting mental and physical health, including changes to weight, sleep and alcohol use."

We are now smack in the middle of a mental health crisis. The pandemic is certainly responsible for much of the increase in stress levels. But when combined with our recent political and societal unrest, and now the more recent potential threat of nuclear war, we see a perfect storm of stressors. In the short term, the effects are alarming. The long term effects on all of us, especially our young people, will be staggering, as many of us will begin to suffer from a type of stress that is not so apparent - invisible stress.

It is this form of stress that Dr. Sylvia Lafair addresses in her groundbreaking, best-selling book, Invisible Stress: It’s NOT What YOU Think.

Lafair believes we must learn to practice "Safe Stress". Invisible Stress shows readers how to:

Invisible Stress, Best-Selling Book By Dr. Sylvia LaFair, Is The Perfect Antidote To The 2022 Holiday Blues

Sylvia Lafair is the founder of Creative Energy Options (CEOinc), a global business consulting firm and the world’s leading authority in Pattern Breakthrough Leadership Development, a Top Global Leadership Guru, and a best-selling author.

The term "holiday blues" refers to a number of mental health conditions - stress, depression, anxiety - or perhaps just a general feeling of malaise that can manifest post-holiday. Other conditions such as fatigue, tension or a sense of loss fall into this broad category we call the "blues". For most of us, a mild case of the "holiday blahs" don't require any kind of intervention. Nevertheless, they can exacerbate other forms of mental conditions. In the worst case scenario the post-holiday blues can be a catalyst for major depressive episodes or worse. For most of us, it is a temporary nuisance.

There is another, less noticeable form of stress that can wreak havoc on our mental states during this time of year. It is this form of stress that Dr. Sylvia LaFair addresses in her groundbreaking, best-selling book, Invisible Stress.

LaFair believes we must learn to practice "Safe Stress". Invisible Stress shows readers how to:

How To Overcome Holiday Stress - Sylvia LaFair, Author Of Invisible Stress, Best Selling Book On Stress, Shows Us How To Beat The Holiday Blues

Sylvia Lafair is the founder of Creative Energy Options (CEOinc), a global business consulting firm and the world’s leading authority in Pattern Breakthrough Leadership Development, a Top Global Leadership Guru, and a best-selling author.

In her bestselling book about stress, Invisible Stress, Sylvia LaFair discusses invisible stress, a silent type of stress that, for many of us, may lurk beneath the surface and influence our behavior, outside our awareness. This type of psychological stress becomes even more significant as we approach the Holiday season. Unfortunately, those stressors leading up to the Holidays have been exacerbated by the Covid-19 pandemic. It is crucial for us to learn how to cope with Holiday stress and to manage our stress levels before we reach a stage of Holiday stress burnout.

There are many causes of Holiday stress. Simply preparing for the Holidays heightens our stress levels. We have to make decisions about whether or not we should attend Holiday gatherings or company parties. Is it safe to travel? Everything seems to urgently demand our attention. We don't have enough time to get everything done. We don't have enough money. We feel pressured to give gifts, and we feel pressure to "keep up" with others. We may have to deal with family drama or perhaps bad relationships. We feel coerced. We have to take time off work. We become acutely aware of those who have passed on and cannot be with us this year. Some of us even experience Seasonal Affectiveness Disorder.

Any one of these can take a damaging toll on our mental health. Sometimes the pressure can become unbearable, and we simply burn out. What is one to do?

Sylvia LaFair, in her best-selling book on stress, Invisible Stress, shows us how to practice what she calls "Safe Stress". Invisible Stress shows readers how to:

• Discuss the fourth level, invisible stress, with information not available till now.
• Gain cutting-edge methods to tackle root causes of overwhelm and self-doubt.
• Acquire powerful yet simple ways to make stress work for you.
• Gather tips to build confidence and strengthen resilience during tough times.
• Learn how to adopt healthy daily behaviors to stay in the safe stress zone.
• Explore coping mechanisms to manage today’s accelerated rate of change.
• Master new leadership skills for less stress and a more harmonious life.
