If you experience some sort of stress in the workplace this course is for you.

This program is meant for any person experiencing some sort of stress in the workplace and who wants to transform that stress in positive feelings. The program gives you exercises to follow to relieve the stress you feel within just 15 minutes per day and there is no homework!

But how do we define stress? You could say if you have more difficulties coping with unexpected things coming your way, if you feel overwhelmed taking on (more) work, if you react angry in circumstances where you normally wouldn’t and if you feel like you need to be 100% ON all the time and can’t shut down your thoughts, it’s very likely you’re experiencing stress.

Outline &tips for the course

Every day of the program follows a similar course. I will explain the exercise to you, then I invite you to do the exercise together with me and then you project the result of that exercise on the rest of your day. This program will only have an impact if you actually do the exercise with me, so it’s important to find a quiet space where you can do the exercises.

First you fill out how stressed you feel these days on a scale from 1-10. Based on that, you can set the goal for yourself to get that number down by completing this program. I recommend you to start off by setting aside 15 minutes per day to do an exercise. Preferably you set aside this time in the morning, so you can apply your positive state of mind to the rest of your day and therewith experience more peaceful thoughts throughout. You can do this by blocking off the 15 minutes before you would normally go to work in your calendar. Like that it’s set and you have something to lean on.

Besides that, ensure you have a quiet space for yourself in which you can take a couple of steps as for most exercises we’ll be standing up and move around a bit.

My personal experience

My name is Simone Reichert and like so many people I have had many work stress experiences which at some point really made me think, ‘I should do something about this’. In the end we work to live and we don’t live to work right? So I decided to dive more into this topic of work stress and how we can ‘re-program’ ourselves to experience the positive adrenaline part that work can bring us instead of seeing and feeling it as a burden.

I have an extensive background in Neurolinguistic Programming which helps to reframe your feelings of stress in a way that works for you. Besides that, it can help you to get into a state in which you feel completely at ease and project that on situations that normally cause you stress. The exercises I provide to you in this program come from Neurolinguistic Programming and Generative Coaching - a big thanks to my teachers Allan Santos, Robert Dilts and Stephen Gilligan. These practices in combination with my work experience as a manager, trainer and coach in different companies has helped me to put this program together.
