Overview

Resilience- the capacity to recover quickly from difficulties. It's a mental, emotional and physical toughness. Without it we break down quickly and recovery slowly, if at all. Everyone feels pressured these days. We push through long hours and deadlines at work. We rush home, get by on little sleep and unhealthy food. There's always so much that needs to be done and this puts pressure on us. The pressure becomes stress which accounts for 80 percent of all illnesses, either directly or indirectly. Stress, unchecked, can cause anxiety and even panic attacks that takes a toll on our health and our checkbooks to the tune of $46.6 billion annually in the United States. You can't eliminate stress entirely. It's part of life. You can however, manage it. It's how we react to stress and our level of resiliency that makes the difference. Coping techniques found in this book will help you control stress and bounce back quickly to help you maintain your health and happiness. I have worked with people suffering from anxiety disorders caused by stress for years, as well as watched my daughter suffer through debilitating panic attacks. I've successfully learned ways to cope with stress and anxiety to help my clients, my family, and myself. This book is a combination of my own experiences and advice from experts. It will provide you with tools to use when you're in stressful situations. The intention is to help you feel more balanced and in control of your emotions - to help you become more resilient and live a comfortable and anxiety-free life.
