What's the best way to manage stress at work
and that takes little time and is very pragmatic?
Your career is slowly starting to flatten and hope for a further step is further away than ever. But this doesn't worry you anymore. You are happy with what you are doing now and just want to end up in the same position in the same company.
You're not getting any younger. To keep up with the pace, you work longer hours and try at your age to do the job of a 20-year-old millennial.
You are so tired that you don't have time for new hobbies at the end of the day. The daily worries of the household are then more than enough, and there is no time and energy for anything else, let alone a social visit.
Sometimes you can relax well by going to the sauna for a long time and ordering a good massage.
Even when you have taken a brisk walk on a Sunday afternoon, you feel so relaxed and happy. How nice would it be to keep this feeling, even on a Monday morning, after reading a mountain of new emails and tasks that have been left behind and that have to be finished this week? How can I manage stress on a continuous basis?
You are gradually noticing that you can no longer tolerate the constant presence of stress at work.
At the end of the day, you notice that you are less tolerant towards your children and partner, which you never had before. Is it the age or is there something else going on?
I have literally seen so many of my former colleagues getting sick from the stress. Is there a simple way how to deal with burnout? How do I relieve stress in a simple and pragmatic way?
I have been associated with the E.A.S.T. Institute for the last 10 years, concerned with Transforming Energy and increasing Awareness and Sensitivity.
Since 2000 I have been taking Tai Chi classes with several teachers associated with the Patrick Kelly School. I have been teaching the Yang form of Tai Chi for 5 years in my hometown Hamont-Achel, Belgium.
In the meantime, I have an extensive group of students who attend weekly lessons.
Some quotes from my students:
When I look back at the last 20 years, I can say that life has put quite a few challenges on my path. After twenty years of marriage, a difficult divorce, then an unexpected death of my second wife and severe cancer treatment for my third wife. My two physically demanding hernia surgeries are nothing compared to the emotional and mental strain of the previous setbacks.
Each time, Tai Chi has kept me upright in these difficult situations, and I see life as one big party and realize the privilege we have to experience all this.
You would love to start with yoga or meditation or something like that, but how do you start and how do you make time for it? And can I handle something like that? This is completely out of my comfort zone.
I also don't want to lose time on a spiritual fuss, but very concrete and pragmatic solutions that have a lasting effect.
During the lessons, you will learn how to get more energy fast, how to relax your body in a deeper and more sustainable manner.
The fundamental principle is to accelerate the closed-loop whereby Tai Chi movements are the centrepiece of the engine. Tai Chi movements executed correctly will increase the Sensitivity, this seeds more Relaxation. This stress reduction on the other hand will boost your Energy. The circle is closed.
The figures for Belgium alone will be quite disturbing. The trend has continued for years. There's no stopping it. The last four years have seen a 39.23% increase in long-term burnout and depression. These are official figures from the Riziv.
Why do you look for new things, when there are so many possibilities that have already proven their worth over centuries.
The slow movements of Tai Chi are many centuries old, and are very concrete and can be performed by anyone. The only condition is that these must be performed in a correct way in order to enjoy the healing effect.
