Stress coaching is a must for all of us.
Stress, anxiety, worry or a sense of being overwhelmed can all be affecting your attitude and productivity without you even knowing it. Because of this, it is a good plan to identify the source of your stress so that you can do something about it, and one of the best ways you can do this is through stress coaching. There is no shame in that as we all suffer from stress from time to time, even you, my fellow coaches. You’d be surprised how much stress can build up in your life with just little things and how much more success you can have by eliminating the stress in your life.
There are many different causes of stress related to diverse situations or events and how a person deals with or responds to each situation. The causes and signs of stress can therefore differ from one person to the next and may be manifest in a multitude of different ways. To avoid break down, it is better to eliminate the energy drainers now rather than later–thus enters the stress coaches stage right.
Being a stress coach myself…
I’ve found there are many different causes of stress. The source of stress can differ from one person to the next and may be caused by such things as:
Petty annoyances. (The things you are putting up with, such as poor lighting, tight shoes, your dented car, broken appliances, etc.)
Clutter.
Wanting to be in control.
Not living in congruity with your values.
Not setting boundaries.
Being in bondage to money instead of having financial freedom.
Low self-esteem and fear of inadequacy.
Health energy drainers (caffeine, sugar, etc.)
Not being able to say no.
Not asking for what you really want.
Feeling like you have to do all those ‘shoulds’.
Not being able to establish boundaries.
Not having a positive attitude.
Not having something to look forward to.
Putting limitations on yourself.
Not being surrounded by the right people.
No time for reflection and renewal.
Not building powerful relationships.
Not forgiving.
Wrong perspectives.
Why you need stress coaching.
This is just a short list of reasons that could be causing you stress, but with the help of a stress coach you could turn all these negative energy drainers around. I could also give you a long list of things you could do to reduce stress, but there are already plenty of these types of articles out there that you are most likely aware of. However, if you are not using various known stress busting methods, then this is a good reason why you should consider stress coaching which can help you actually take action on some of these things.
As you can see, stress coaching is a big subject and one that I’ve only touched the surface of. The best thing to do is find a good coach for yourself, start plugging up your energy drainers and to use your new found energy to greater success.
Wishing you all the best with a stress free life.

Very interesting article Dana, and I surely agree with you about the challenges of stress. In fact my member newsletter this month is on coping with stress and I did a ton of research preparing it – just one tidbit I learned was that according to the American Medical Association two thirds of visits to family doctors are for stress related symptoms. Thanks for the great information.
Hi Dana,
Stress coaching, huh? This is new to me. I’ve never heard of it before, so I found your post quite interesting and intriguing. I agree with Marty’s comment — with the incredible level of stress that many of us feel, stress coaching seems like a great option to regular visits to your shrink!
Thanks for the information!
My first reaction when I saw “stress coaching” was that I don’t really need any coaching to get better at being stressed, I am quite good at it already.
Then I got to thinking I suppose that it does make sense to have a coach to get over stress because I’m sure that different reasons for the stress should be handled in different ways.
Today was a stressful day–even though I’ve read several articles on how to avoid stress–still, it was a up there in the “highs”. Dana pointed out two things that I haven’t thought of before (must have missed them in all those articles I said I read)– establish boundaries, and have something to look forward to. This is probably why people like me could use coaching–we forget the boundaries.
Thanks, Dana.
