Priceless Professional Development:
Volume 7, Issue 77                                            April 2015
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  
   

Who knew that April is National Stress Awareness month - I didn't until I stumbled upon a Tweet about it last week.  (Apparently it's been held in April since 1992.)   

 

The cynic in me first thought, "Why do we need a month of awareness about stress?  Aren't people already aware of stress?"  Then I thought, "Yea, we may know when we're stressed, but we don't always know what to do about it."

 

In support of National Stress Awareness month, and to help you manage your stress,  here are special 'stress less' resources :

 

  • Tune In Time: 15+ Stress Management Activities, 15 Minutes a Day... 
    Tune In Time is something I've been doing for years. It's the best thing I do for myself, my family and my clients and it ONLY TAKES 15 minutes! I find that it's what I do when I'm NOT stressed, that helps me most when I am. Yea, stress IS a part of life but it doesn't have to be the WAY of your life. Tune In Time works for me. Find out more here.

coldThis Month's Video: Sam Bern's Philosophy for a Happy Life.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~
This month's newsletter topic is about managing stress.  In this video, Sam Berns, a Junior at Foxboro High School in Foxboro, Massachusetts, has Progeria, a rare, rapid aging disease. 

In this TED talk Sam shares his philosophy for a happy life. This young man, and his strong and positive focus, stayed with me long after I watched this. 

A great reminder that we can"manage" our minds and our focus even in stressful situations. Listen and be inspired by Sam's attitude.  This is one video I kept thinking about, long after I watched it.  I hope it inspires you like it did me!
