Beyond Distress™ - Use stress to your advantage
According to the Confederation of British Industry (CBI), stress related absenteeism and staff turnover in the work place costs UK industry £1.3 billion per year. The Health and Safety executive calculates that 183,000 workers suffer work related stress each year. This has a major impact on the overall effectiveness of a business and therefore, costs money by reducing profitability. Stress management programmes have been shown to reduce absenteeism by up to 50%, thereby increasing productivity and work force motivation as well cutting the possibility of litigation.

If you’re constantly feeling drained of energy, with everything being an effort and nothing ever going right, you’re probably under stress. Chances are that you also can’t sleep, you’re snappy with family and colleagues and you’re constantly missing your targets at work.
Remember, however, that stress isn't all bad; a body without stress is not alive! Stress is the natural response of the body to any stressor (a stimulus, pleasant or otherwise). Although the body's response to both eustress (good stress) and distress (bad stress) is similar, eustress keeps us motivated and can improve our productivity.
There has been considerable debate in the media as to whether we are turning soft and imagining that we are stressed. The issue is not whether the stress is imagined or real. Stress is a state of mind and therefore, always real to the sufferer. Beyond Distress™ enables you to move beyond just managing stress to being able to recognise the causes of dysfunctional behaviour and move to a position where you control the levels of eustress you choose to enjoy in your life.
You’ll then be able to manage your energy, work will seem effortless and you’ll start enjoying life once again. Better still, you’ll wake up refreshed, you’ll find you’re getting on better with family and colleagues and are meeting those all-important work targets!
