MOVING FROM STRESS TO RESILIENCE:
Addressing Adrenal Tension

Sound heavy?  Like it'll take a lot of serious motivation to make THAT happen?  And at a time when you're so busy with holidays?  Fear not!  This is a light-hearted, deep-diving, go at your own pace, but don't get left behind because we're here for you, kind of course.  

We are going to use several well-known fairy tales to inform our path from stress to resilience.  Fairy tales came from a long oral tradition that can offer us timeless perspectives on how to find the life we want.  

Consider :: Alice in Wonderland could be our mascot.  She falls, unexpectedly, into chaos.  She has no assistance finding her way out of Wonderland... without any direction she bounces from one possible source of help to another, only to find them equally useless for helping her take steps to get home.  It isn't until she faces the Queen of Hearts, and comes in contact with the truth of her own knowing, that Alice frees herself from nonsense and reclaims her life.

Redefine your relationship with stress to bring about the power, strength, 
creativity, and courage that is within

StressWebsite10-14 from Jill Clifton on Vimeo.

Is stress avoidance really possible?  I think not.
Is it possible to have a different kind of relationship with stress?  Yes.  Absolutely!

Stress is a term for the reaction to events, situations, or environments that push the edges (or our perceived edges) of being able to cope.  While we are taught that stress is harmful to our health and that we should do our best to be rid of it, the truth is that stress is unavoidable.  Things happen, health issues come up, all in addition to our epic to-do lists that are already in hand. 

Do you feel:

• tired and overwhelmed?
• like you're one hair's breadth away from breaking under the pressure?
• that every time you get your feet under you something else happens to challenge it?
• that redefining how you cope might be the key to shedding this tightrope walk once and for all?

Do you want:

• to feel less tense both mentally and physically?
• smoother relationships with loved ones?
• tools that create physical, mental, and emotional resilience?
• to make tangible progress in addressing the underlying causes of your physical pains?

After several years of working with clients one-on-one, I noticed that at some point we were addressing either cortisol (the stress hormone) directly, or adrenal fatigue in general.  It seemed to be connected to everything.  In fact, as I did more research, I found that there are good reasons that stress comes up over and over when people are trying to heal... because it is the PRIMARY cause of many imbalances in the body.  Once one imbalance occurs... it creates others.  And then it feels like our bodies are breaking down.  But it's not really.  Often, when we break the cycle of the underlying issue, the other issues resolve with little or no effort.

Comments from the previous offering of this course:

Stress As A Catalyst  (now called Stress to Resilience) came at the perfect time last year, holiday time, where stress increases daily. This time of the year can be very intense in both joy and sorrow and knowing that every week we received new exercises was great. It has generated many questions from my friends as I shared my engagement in the course. I especially like the Laughter Yoga week with video support as well as the neuroscience information. There is a lot of information shared by Jill during those 6 weeks and it has proven helpful and fun! Jill is available for questions and makes her answers very informative, prompt and always kind. I highly recommend this course where you get to learn at your own pace in the comfort of your home. ~ Britt A.
