Finding Calm Amidst Chaos
We are a society addicted to complexity. Most of us are so used to doing ten things at once that even when we do have a moment to relax our minds continue working at a frenetic pace. How do we create serenity in the midst of chaos? The answer is not in more information. It is in daring to live a balanced life. Interweaving science, psychology and humor, Dr. Kern teaches easy but effective ways to simplify life, de-stress the body and calm the mind. These skills are designed to help participants not only be resilient under pressure, but also to create a life that is balanced and healthy at work and at home.
Finding the Best in You When Stress Makes a Mess of You
Have you ever wondered why some people get anxious while others get angry when they are stressed? Some gain weight. Some lose weight. Some can’t sleep. Some can’t wake up. Some get fearful. Some get irritable. Whatever stress does to you, you can be sure it makes a mess of you! In this fun and informative session you will not only understand your reactions to stress (as well as your spouse’s and your friends’), but you will also learn practical ways to create balance in your life in order to bring out the best in you.
Breaking the Sugar-Stress Cycle…or Ending the Doughnut Daze
When coaches and therapists suggest that you will feel less stressed if you finish what you start — they don’t mean a bag of chips or chocolate chip cookies! But for many of us, the usual stress response of “Fight or Flight” quickly becomes “Bite and Chew.” If you find yourself craving carbohydrates or grazing aimlessly in the evenings when you are stressed, this session is for you! Using humor and the latest scientific information, Dr. Deborah Kern provides insight, inspiration and motivation to help you break the sugar stress cycle.
Heart of the Matter
Health promotion and wellness education are at the heart of cardiovascular disease prevention. Recent studies suggest that being well is affected by much more than simply eating well and exercising. We now know that the mind/body connection is a powerful force for creating health. Interweaving humor, drama, scientific data and fun for all, Dr. Kern will take you on a healing journey that will open you up to new possibilities for creating wellness in heart, mind, body and spirit.
