Quick and Easy Brain Hacks for Reducing Emotional Stress

Emotional stress is everywhere these days. Fears about health and safety… worries about loved ones… conflicts with family members or even team members! These problems are a distraction from productivity. Advice such as “put it out of your mind” or “focus on work” don’t really create the desired results. 

There is a new, simple self-help method that can be mastered in one day and then easily used in 15 minutes to reduce your emotional stress level and clarify your thinking. You can practice it yourself in complete privacy. 

In this one-day program, you will learn about surprising brain patterns, and you will master practical exercises that will empower you to reduce your stress in minutes while restoring your clarity of thinking. You will experience immediate improvements in your ability to stay calm, regain focus and continue with your work projects. 

You will evaluate your levels of calm and distress at the program’s beginning and end to measure your improvements. You will also do “before” and “after” assessments with each activity so that you can measure your improvements throughout the day.

 

Objectives:

• Understand what emotions really are
• Learn what the most cutting-edge neuroscience says about how the brain works
