What if stress wasn’t your enemy but your ally in disguise?

Imagine channelling that pressure into something positive and empowering.

Stress Mastery is what I am called to share with the world and I’m sharing three simple shifts to transform stress with you in this article.

Becoming a stress master is about reshaping your relationship with stress. Instead of resisting the inevitable, learn to harness that energy and turn it into your personal fuel.

Here are your 3 Simple Shifts to Transform Stress…

Studies show that a whopping 73% of adults in the U.S. experience some form of stress in a given month, and that stress can affect our health, happiness, and productivity.

The thing about stress is that it's different for everyone. For you, maybe it's a looming deadline that makes your stomach churn. For someone else, it's juggling childcare with a demanding job. No matter what triggers your stress, one thing's for sure: ignoring it won't make it go away.

That's where Stress Mastery comes in.

Imagine waking up to a symphony unlike any other. 

Not a concert hall performance but a chorus of howler monkeys serenading the rising sun, their guttural calls echoing through the dense rainforest canopy. 

Birdsong, a thousand different melodies intertwined, filled the spaces in between. 

This isn't my usual routine, but the opening act to my recent Costa Rican adventure – an adventure that became a profound exploration of the wild world around me and the even wilder one within. 

Costa Rica isn't…

What is distracting you? Is it food, alcohol, Netflix, your work… something else?

The world is certainly undergoing through many changes. With change often comes anxieties and the fear of loss. The more centered, objective and neutral we are, the more resilient and adaptable we become to this temporary situation. That is why focusing on high priority actions and things we have control over is an expression of wisdom.

In the video below I have pointed out the things you can still control to keep calm a…

Would you agree that we are prone to cram our minds full of new things to know, yet fail to put into practice those few important things we need to do?

There is a gap between our knowing and our doing.

I want to resolve this for you as you can hear in my video below:

At times do you feel like you have taken on too many commitments and feel spread too thin? Have considered saying “No” at times like that, but find it hard to do? Let’s look at why it can be so hard to say no. Put another way, how do you say no and not feel bad about it?



Saying “No” can trigger all sorts of worried thoughts in your brain, like:

• I’m missing out
• I’m being rude
• I’m letting them down

• I’m not meeting my goals

And on and on and on…

Most of the time, non…
