Stress Management? Stress Elimination.

How do you deal with the stress in your life?  Do you meditate, so you feel better about stress?  Or do you eliminate the stress source, so that you don’t feel stress at all?

STRESS JUDO COACHING is designed to train you – in 6 months – to eliminate stress.  Using the traditional progressive training of martial arts, and tailoring the focus and flexibility of a litigation in trial, STRESS JUDO COACHING will transform you from fearing stressful situations to welcoming them.

Why would you welcome stress?

Because stress most often occurs when you have outgrown your boundaries.  The stress is actually masking the opportunities that lie beyond.  Expanding your personal boundaries improves your personal effectiveness.

Time Management Is Stress Management: 5 Surefire Tips

The worst kind of stress is time stress.   Having too much to do and too little time to do it.   It can easily feel overwhelming and crushing.  Using time management is one way to fight this stress.  So which time management system do you use to enhance your personal effectiveness?

 The answer may sound trite, but it is “the system that works for you.”  This article looks at how you can know a time management system is working for you.

 Here are 5 surefire tips to have a wining time management system:

1. Recognize that time management is really self discipline.  The best time management system is worthless if you don’t follow it.  And the most disciplined person can’t get anything done if they are floundering aimlessly.  Make a commitment to follow the system you choose.
2. Follow the Pareto Principle.  This principle says that 80% of your benefits come from 20% of your work.  So take time to identify the parts of your day that are the most productive, and focus on getting the maximum from that time.
3. Set goals by the SMART method.  This means that your goals are Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, and Tangible.  B y doing this, your efforts stay focused.
4. Stress Judo Coaching teaches the exclusive TF30 system, to prioritize goals and to allocate time and resources.   Basically, this system divides task into 3 categories: those that absolutely must be done Today; those that must be done by Friday (i.e., this week, but not necessarily today); and those that must be done in the next 30 days.
5. Use delegation to prioritize.  If you cannot immediately do a task, delegate it.  This may mean delegating it to someone else, with a deadline to have it completed.  It may mean delegating it to yourself, at a future time.

 If the time management system you are using does not incorporate all 5 of these points, then your system may actually be adding to your stress.  There are a multitude of fine time management systems.  Surprisingly, not many of them seem to have stress management as their goal.  It may be a side effect, but it is not the focus of the system.

STRESS JUDO COACHING was developed by Rick Carter, a martial artist and trial attorney, to train you to develop a black belt’s calm focus and a litigator’s flexibility in the face of chaos.  For 3 FREE proprietary reports on immediately eliminating the stress in your life, go to best stress management system.

Removing The Speed Bumps To Maximum Personal Effectiveness

Personal effectiveness is measured by how smoothly and efficiently you can achieve goals.  So it is not only how many goals you hit, but how you do it.   You want to overcome obstacles effectively and timely.  You never want to take shortcuts or cut corners.   And you never want to act unethically.

So how do you achieve maximum personal effectiveness?  By removing the obstacles.

Now, every journey will have obstacles.   Most of them are unique to the particular path or goal you have chosen.  Removing those obstacles is a matter of skill and technique in your area.  Talk to your mentor.

But another set of obstacles – an underrated set – is the stress caused by hitting those obstacles.  This stress is an internal roadblock.  It saps your energy.  It distracts your focus.   And it is unproductive, because if you win the fight against your own stress, you only come back to even.

The key is to transform the stress you feel into excitement and enthusiasm.   Over stress?  No.   Over the opportunity that the stress is masking.  Because stress mostly arises when you are expanding beyond your boundaries.

There are many stress management programs available.  Most of them are built around one principal approach – meditation  counseling, fitness, time management.  And most of them are pretty effective, most of the time, for much of the stress you encounter.   But, just like you want your lawyer to be effective all of the time for every problem, and your bodyguard to be effective all of the time for every threat, you want your stress management program to be effective all of the time for every stressful situation in your life.  You want your personal effectiveness to be both personal and effective.

STRESS JUDO COACHING has several products and services, to coach you to an aggressive approach to attacking stress and transforming it to opportunities.   The program is personal to you and is built on progressive belt training – six colored belts in six months – to give you the mind of a martial artist and the focus of a trial attorney.  To maximize your personal effectiveness, get a black belt in STRESS JUDO COACHING.

Transform Stress To Transform Your Personal Effectiveness

Stress is not something to fight.  At least not fight face-to-face.  This is because fighting stress is like pushing against the wall of gelatin.  It will give and give, until you find yourself smothered.  No, the way to fight stress is to transform it.

Stress will always be in your life.  Fighting against stress reduces your personal effectiveness, because you are diverting your attention, focus and energy.   But transforming stress into opportunities – for growth, for expansion, or for general improvement – will skyrocket your persons effectiveness.

Here are six steps to transform stress into opportunities:

1. Approach each stressful situation as a problem to be solved.   Stress is very often (but not always) caused by external resistance to your boundaries expanding.  Looking at that opposition as a problem to be solved converts your “fight or flight” reaction into curiosity and impetus.
2. Develop your personal feedback system.  Each encounter with stress is an opportunity to learn for the next encounter with stress.   Having a personal feedback system to help you see what you did right and what you can improve, will make the next stressful situation that much less stressful.
3. Strengthen your stick-to-it-iveness.   Many times, winning over stress means outlasting it.  But this is not a matter of will or faith.  It is developing the mindset that this stressful situation will not get the better of you.
4. Talk to yourself – and others.  Learn how to coach.  Coaching yourself will go a long way toward transforming your reactions to stressful situations.  By this step, your self-coaching will be to apply the above steps, and you will be well on your way to transforming stress into opportunities.
5. Use fitness and meditation as weapons.  My favorite saying about mediation is that you should be able to meditate in a brass bell being beaten by a dozen hammers.  That’s a lot different than the usual “candles and soft music” approach. And a lot better able to face the real world.
6. Find your inner energy sources.   External stimulants advertised as “energy drinks” are less effective than taping into your inner energy sources.  No matter what you call it – chi, Kundalini, drive – using your inner energy sources will always give you more and longer lasting energy than external stimulants.

Personal effectiveness is what distinguishes the mediocre from the exceptional.  Talent will get some people to the top.  Using skill to extend your talent will keep some people at the top.  Improving your personal effectiveness will make the expression of talent and skill all the more efficient.   And transforming stressful situations into opportunities for growth will allow your personal effectiveness to shine.

STRESS JUDO COACHING is the most unique and effective stress management system available.  In just six months, through progressive belt training, you will develop the steadfastness of a martial artist and the focus of a trial attorney, to transform stress into opportunities.
