TITLE: Bless Your Stress: It Means You’re Still Alive

There’s good news and bad news about stress; the only stress-free zone that exists is a cemetery—for the residents, that is! If you can feel your stress it means you’re still kicking, ticking, and clicking! In other words, a bad day alive beats the heck out of a good day dead! The spill of stress can be contained, controlled, cleaned up, and converted into positive energy.

To manage everyday stress, people must learn to identify their own stress “triggers” - the little things that set them off. Next, they must delve deeper to discover why things bother them - the “war” within - worry, anger, and resentment, that causes the stress response.

Mimi will help you see the stress triggers coming and respond to them effectively.

This entertaining and informative session will educate you, enlighten you, enliven you, and give you the inspiration you need to take control of your stress load before it controls you!
