National Mental Health Month: Life Coach Shares Insights on Stress
May 06 , 2008 by EditorGILBERT, AZ – Carey Powell, a Gilbert, Arizona based Certified Life Coach and owner of Fearless Soul Life Coaching, knows first-hand how damaging stress can be.
After a grueling 15 years in the corporate world, Powell found herself depressed, overweight and burnt out. Searching for a purpose and passion in her life, Powell discovered life coaching and completely turned her life around – walking away from the security of her corporate career (and all of its inherent stress) and chose to pursue a life and career she loved. Now, Powell’s passion is helping others live a healthy, balanced life through her work as a professional life coach.
Says Powell, “Stress can be very toxic for our bodies. May is National Health Month and I am making it my mission to help others recognize the signs of stress and how to take steps to reduce the damaging effect it can have on their lives.”
According to the National Mental Health Association, 5 of the top signs of dangerous levels of stress are:
Feeling angry, irritable or easily frustrated;
Change in eating habits;
Trouble sleeping;
Problems with memory;
Having trouble functioning in your job and/or personal life.
“There are many ways to reduce toxic stress in our lives”, says Powell. “Exercise, even in small amounts, is one of the fastest ways to clear our minds and lower our stress level. Of course, I also recommend seeking the assistance of a life coach. A great coach can help you restore balance in your life by teaching you new techniques and helping you develop the skills to make positive changes.”
Powell offers several coaching programs and workshops aimed at helping clients overcome stress and regain a healthy life balance. Those interested in learning more may visit www.fearlesscoaching.net, or contact Powell directly via email at carey@fearlesscoaching.net or via phone at 480-656-4267.
