Stress,
Success
& Team Work
By Jennifer Yon
I
have become incredibly passionate
about increasing the value of my life
and every person I connect with. For
me, a drastic change in nutrition, wellness
and the team around me was essential to
increase my longevity. Little did I know
how living a healthier lifestyle, coupled
with the right support, would affect my life
and increase my self-worth personally and
professionally.
My excellence starts with my health, so I
work on it daily. When I reach for the board
room door, I can place all my energy on
my presentation, because I have created
an outer and inner appearance that shines
for all to see. We should strive to be a vivid
shining example of the phenomenon that
the body can overcome. I’m living proof
that with a preserving mind, positive
attitude and confident self-image we can
create the success which forms our own
reality.
The only barriers in life are the ones we
create ourselves, so here’s my advice—don’t
create them, and for those unforeseen
circumstances, create strategies for dealing

with them. Stress can be one of the biggest
triggers instilled within our psyche that
saps our energy as well as happiness.
Stress kills! Everyday Americans develop
illnesses as a result of high stress lifestyles.
Stress can also attack productivity.
Stress exists everywhere. There is
absolutely no way to avoid it, however,
by implementing a couple of things in
your life, you are more prepared to deal
with what may come your way. One of
the first ways to combat stress is first to
identify your stressors. Once you identify
the stressors, commit them to memory;
even write them down, so you can create
a method for eliminating or reducing
them. This is the beginning to a healthier
lifestyle by managing your stress and not
allowing it to manage you!
Personally, it took having the right team
around me to assist with my stress levels.
I strongly advise all entrepreneurs to
develop a solid team, one that includes
a dedicated and passionate assistant that
believes in your mission. That’s my secret
to eliminate stress!
In the words of Michael Jordan, "Talent wins
games, but teamwork and intelligence win
championships."
Let’s get Focused, Healthy and Climb
Together! Teamwork makes the dreams
work!
It goes without saying, that I, like many
individuals, desire to be healthy and live a
productive life. Unfortunately, sometimes
life brings about unexpected changes
and obstacles. An illness, a job loss, or
even a difficult relationship, just to name
a few. Triggers that derail our goals can
lead to seasons of complacency. To avoid
that feeling of getting stuck in a zone that
delivers unhealthy behaviors, I remind
myself of a famous quote by Aristotle,
it has become a personal motto. “We
are what we repeatedly do. Excellence,
therefore, is not an act, but a habit.”
