Part 1 - Welcome!
Dear Recovering Workaholic,
After a gap over the summer while I followed my own advice to recovering
workaholics I would like to welcome to this our twenty second newsletter
for Recovering Workaholics.
- How happy are you with the balance between your personal and work
life?
- Do you make the most of every moment?
- Are you planning to have a life once you give up work but are prepared
to settle for second best in the mean time?
Every moment is precious, even when you are working long hours it
is possible to appreciate the moment and make it count, but it is possible
to overdo it and then the body is liable to react to ongoing stressful
situations resulting in any combination of the following:
- Feeling impatient, anxious, jumpy, irritable, over excited
- Finding it hard to think clearly
- Difficulty in dealing with other people appropriately
- Difficulty sleeping
- and so on
There are very few situations where the caveman response is useful.
In the vast majority of situations a calm, measured, sensitive approach
based on clear rational thinking is not only more effective but far more
healthy.
This month’s article offers strategies to help those of you who need
a more healthy rational approach to stressful situations.
If you would like some help to deal with any of the issues raised in

Beat Insomnia CD - Retrain Your Sleep Pattern Without Drugs
Sleep is vital to our health and sense of wellbeing. We need it as much
as we need food and water and the air we breathe. It is during sleep that
the body rests and repairs itself. Good quality sleep leaves us feeling
refreshed, re-energized and ready to face the new day.
Insomnia affects most people at some time during their lives. For many
it is a passing phase caused because of a stressful event in their lives. For
chronic sufferers it becomes a way of life. Although it is not life-threatening
it can and does threaten the quality of life for many sufferers leaving
them frustrated, exhausted and feeling low.
"Beat Insomnia" uses deep trance techniques to help you retrain
your sleep pattern without drugs.
Use "Beat Insomnia" to get a great nights sleep and make Insomnia
a thing of the past.

Confidence Building CD - Creating the Confident You
We
all feel less confident in certain situations.
This CD is designed to help you feel confident
in any situation. It uses tried and tested
NLP techniques to help you develop the confidence
you need to tackle new social situations
or when giving an important presentation
or interview.
- How
often do you wish you felt more confident?
- Do
you worry about social events or standing
up to talk in front of work colleagues?
- Would
you like to live your life feeling that
you are in control?
- Do
you have butterflies in your stomach that
feel as if they are wearing hobnailed
boots when you have to go to an interview
or a meeting?
- Is
the voice in your head telling you - you
can't do it?
Developing
confidence is about much more than learning
to do an activity better.
It
is about changing how we feel about ourselves
and dealing with our thoughts and beliefs.
It is about facing the things we fear and
being curious about why we fear them.
Use "Creating the Confident You" to learn to
push through the fear and create a world
of limitless possibilities, where you
are in control of your own destiny.

expect the following titles to be available later

Part 4 - Feature Article
Stress – What Is It?
What effect Does It Have On Your Body?
Stress is sited as the cause of a wide range of health problems, costing
businesses billions each year in lost work days and in compensation and
pensions. This does not capture the huge personal cost in anxiety, poor
health and premature death.
In order to deal with stress effectively either as an individual or
as a manager ensuring the well being of your employees it is important
to understand what stress is and the potential impact it can have.
The first thing to understand is that stress in itself is not a bad
thing. It is how we react to stressful situations which makes the difference.
One person's thrill and sense of excitement is another person’s anxiety
and agony.
In this article we are going to consider ways for you to understand
what stress is and the effect it has on your body. Strategies for creating
a life style which allows you to deal with your stress and ensure you
have a great work life balance can be found on our website.
Stress can cause major health problems or in extreme cases be fatal.
All of the information included is for guidance only. If you are experiencing
any health problems brought on or made worse by stress or if you are feeling
significantly unhappy it is extremely important that you seek professional
health advice. You should always seek the advice of your medical practitioner
before any significant change in diet or exercise routine.
WHAT IS STRESS
Stress is sited as the cause of over 500,000 days of absence a year
in the UK alone. It represents a huge cost in both economic and personal
terms. In order to deal with it we must first understand what it is and
what causes it.
Below are definitions for the word “stress.”
Stress is a condition or feeling experienced when
a person perceives that "demands exceed the personal and social resources
the individual is able to mobilize". (attributed to Richard S Lazarus)
"Stress (roughly the opposite of relaxation) is
a medical term for a wide range of strong external stimuli, both physiological
and psychological, which can cause a physiological response called the
general adaptation syndrome", first described in 1936 by Hans Selye in the journal Nature
"An emotionally disruptive or upsetting condition occurring
in response to adverse external influences and capable of affecting physical
health which can be characterized by increased heart rate, a rise in
blood pressure, muscular tension, irritability and depression."
There is no doubt that people generally respond well to a challenge
particularly if they are involved in creating or something they find exciting.
Where those involved believe what they do, matters and they feel they
have some ownership and control over their situation there is a positive
payback even when working extremely hard over long hours. We could debate
whether the pressure involved in such situations constitutes stress.
Where stress is detrimental people are often in situations where they
feel they have little control, feedback is non existent or overly negative,
failure, humiliation, lack of support results in the person feeling that
what they do has little value or they themselves are not valued. Sustained
exposure to such negative situations can have serious implications for
the health and well being of the individual and ultimately for the organization
as a whole.
THE IMPACT OF STRESS ON THE BODY
We like to think of ourselves as well down the evolutionary path yet
many of our responses harp back to a time when saber toothed tigers and
wooly mammoths ranged the Earth. When a caveman – or woman was threatened
by danger the body.
When we perceive a threat or undergo any emotional or physical trauma
our bodies release a hormone designed to help us run away from the danger
or fight it. This happens significant life threatening in situations.
The impact of the hormone can last long after the perceived threat has
gone.
The result is:
An increase in heart rate and blood pressure.
- the purpose of this is to send the oxygen and blood glucose directly
to the cells in the major muscles to facilitate “Flight or Fright”
Increased perspiring
- designed to cool the muscles to keep them working efficiently.
Blood is transported away from the skin
- this is to reduce blood loss if we were to sustain an injury
Hormones ensure the brain maintains focus on the threat
- we become single minded
It also happens in any situation which we find frustrating or different.
When the threat is small we may be entirely unaware of the impact on us.
When the body reacts to ongoing stressful situations it can result in
any combination of the following:
- Feeling impatient, anxious, jumpy, irritable, over excited
- Raised heart rate, pounding heart and in severe cases palpitations
- Dry mouth
- Sweaty palms
- Feeling sick, indigestion
- Finding it hard to think clearly
- Difficulty in dealing with other people appropriately
- Difficulty sleeping
- More likely to make mistakes
- Accident prone
- Less able to take information from a range of sources resulting in
impaired judgment
- Poor self image
- Poor self esteem
There are very few situations where the caveman response
is useful. In the vast majority of situations a calm, measured, sensitive
approach based on clear rational thinking is not only more effective
but far more healthy.
If we are exposed to negative stress over the long term, there is an
increased and ongoing impact on the sympathetic nervous system. This leads
to a huge increase in the levels of adrenaline, cortisol and other stress
related hormones. These can impact on our physical health compromising
our immune system, allowing viral linked disorders varying from the common
cold and herpes to AIDs and cancer to take hold. Stress also impacts on
the production of other hormones and brain transmitters, scientists believe
that there are further activities involving enzyme systems and chemical
messengers which are still relatively unknown which are affected by high
levels of stress. The links of ongoing stress to high blood pressure with
the threat of heart attack or stroke, insomnia and fatigue are very well
documented. Stress has the potential to harm our mental well being causing
problems such as depression.
Yet stress is a fact of life, it is impossible to eradicate it completely.
What we need to do is keep our flight and fight response under control
so we can be efficient and effective, avoid health related problems and
burn out.

Part 5 - Media Interest
I have been contacted this month by researchers and producers of a number
of radio and television shows. There is a significant levelof interest
in the way work can take over people’s lives.
I’ll let you know as features are to be aired.
I am often asked by people from the media if I know of people who would
be prepared to share their story in order to help others who have a poor
balance between personal life and work. They are happy to keep your identity
anonymous if you prefer. If you would be prepared to help please drop
us an email and give us your details.

Part 6 - Organizations
Creating A Stress Limiting Culture
As Leaders and managers you have a duty of care to every one of your staff.
Creating a workplace where staff feel valued and empowered has a number
of benefits. The obvious ones include a workforce who are motivated and
healthy, people who like coming to work, know they have something to offer
and who want to ensure the organization’s ongoing success so they can
continue to work within it.
Stress is sited as the cause of over 500,000 days of absence a year in
the UK alone. Stressful workplaces are expensive. Staff absence has
the cost of the days lost but the costs go deeper. Absence impacts on
efficiency and continuity. Loosing people because they are disaffected
or are experiencing burn out means that the skills, expertise and experience
which has taken years and a great deal of time and money to develop is
then lost to the organization.
This month’s article considers how you can develop a working environment
where stress is minimized.
The first thing to understand is that stress in itself is not a bad thing.
It is how we react to stressful situations which, makes the difference.
One persons thrill and sense of excitement is another person’s anxiety
and agony.
You need to be mindful of your team so you can pick up signs of stress
early on and work with the member of staff to deal with the root cause
or involve professionals who can.
The 10 Steps To Creating A Stress Limiting Culture
1) Model The Behaviour You Want To Encourage
Many of my clients report that they feel under huge pressure to match
the hours at work demonstrated by their line mangers. People will take
their lead from you. If you work very long hours made even longer because
of the socializing expected with clients your team will feel pressurized
into matching your hours at the office.
Ask yourself why long hours are necessary. Involve your team in identifying
how work can be completed more effectively within a reasonable time
frame and show them that you value the life they have outside work.
If people have quality time to spend with families and friends where
they can recharge their batteries you will have the benefit of an energetic
and healthy workforce.
2) Make a clear distinction between being busy and being productive
When staff spend their working hours being highly focused and productive
rather than just being busy it is possible to get through vast quantities
of work. Just observe over the next few days just how much time your
team spend being “busy”. How much time is actually spent in general
chat, looking at emails or the Internet? Are all the meetings necessary
and productive? Consider whether the right people are doing the right
jobs. I find very often that highly paid staff are busy doing activities
which should be undertaken by less experienced and expensive staff.
Many people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress identify the cause
of their difficulty as overwork. The reality is often more far complicated.
Create Criteria For Success
Make sure you have a clear understanding of what you are expecting your
team members to do within their role generally and for each individual
project.
Ensure that the success criteria by which you will judge performance
is clear and understood by all. Make sure there are measurable outcomes.
When people know what is required of each individual and of the team
it is far easier to plan, monitor progress and celebrate success. Ask
yourself “What is it we are trying to achieve? How will we know when
it has been achieved?
3) Ensure Your Staff Have The Right Skills and Training
Stress is often generated when staff are asked to undertake work when
they feel unprepared and lacking in the necessary skills and experience.
Sometimes this is the reality at other times it is their perception.
In reality it doesn’t matter if the rift is real or imagined the stress
is just as great. The skill of a good manager is to get the level of
challenge just right. Enough challenge to avoid boredom which can be
incredibly stressful, but ensuring that staff have the necessary training
and support to ensure that they are not floundering.
Matching the right people for the job apportioning roles appropriately
throughout the team takes time and thought; it is really worth the
effort.
Consider - It might take you or a member of your team three days to do
something another would take two hours to do. Be clear about the difference
in investing time on a skill which will be useful and save the person
time in the long run and when it is far more effective to buy in expertise
for technical things or for things done as a one off or infrequently.
Stress is often caused because a person is either too well equipped for
the role and without any challenge they become bored and disillusioned,
equally someone who is constantly out of their depth will be stressed
because of the fear of failure. Are your team appropriately placed?
4) Provide The Right Resources For The Job
It is important that your staff have the necessary resources to get on
with the job at hand.
Huge amounts of stress are created when people are under pressure to
deliver but the It infrastructure is inadequate or there is no technical
support available.
Resources include time, money, equipment and an infrastructure which
can support them in fulfilling their role. Anticipating needs and planning
effectively to ensure that the right resources are in place can significantly
reduce stress for all concerned.
5) Ensure That Your Staff Have The Necessary Levels Of Authority And
Accountability
Effective delegation where there are clear lines of delegated authority
enables everyone to get on with the job at hand. Managers should be
on hand to provide support, to monitor and give constructive feedback.
It frees managers up for strategic thinking and gives less experienced
staff the opportunity to grow.
Failure to get this right causes great levels of stress to managers and
team members alike. Does your staff know to whom are they accountable?
Are they sure how often and how they need to report progress or difficulties?
How do they know who they should they report to and in what circumstances?
If the goal posts keep changing and decisions keep being overturned it
creates havoc
6) Involve your staff in planning and development – create ownership
People generally respond well to a challenge particularly if they are
involved in creating or something they find exciting. Where those involved
believe, what they do matters and they feel they have some ownership
and control over their situation there is a positive payback even when
working extremely hard, over long hours.
7) Avoid Unnecessary Frustration And Stress
We like to think of ourselves as well down the evolutionary path yet
many of our responses harp back to a time when saber toothed tigers
and wooly mammoths ranged the Earth. When a caveman – or woman was threatened
by danger the body.
When we perceive a threat or undergo any emotional or physical trauma
our bodies release a hormone designed to help us run away from the
danger or fight it. This happens significant life threatening in situations.
The impact of the hormone can last long after the perceived threat
has gone.
Where stress is detrimental people are often in situations where they
feel they have little control, feedback is non existent or overly negative,
failure, humiliation, lack of support results in the person feeling
that what they do has little value or they themselves are not valued.
Sustained exposure to such negative situations can have serious implications
for the health and well being of the individual and ultimately for the
organization as a whole. It also happens in any situation which we find
frustrating or different. When the threat is small we may be entirely
unaware of the impact on us.
If we are exposed to negative stress over the long term it can impact
on our physical health compromising the immune system, causing high blood
pressure with the threat of heart attack or stroke, insomnia and fatigue.
It has the potential to harm our mental well being causing problems such
as depression.
There are very few situations where the caveman response is useful. In
the vast majority of situations a calm, measured, sensitive approach
based on clear rational thinking is not only more effective but far more
healthy.
There are three approaches to dealing with challenging situations:
a) Deal directly with the problem which is actually causing the stress.
This requires identifying what the root cause actually is and either
changing it or removing it altogether.
b) Where there is a situation which cannot be changed you need to change
the way you react to it and feel about it. This can have a very significant
impact on how much stress potential the situation has. Changing your
response to a situation has the power to remove the negative charge
of the situation.
c) In situations where we have no control physical or emotional control
over what has happened, the emphasis needs to be focusing on surviving
the stress and accepting the situation. This should only be a very
short term solution.
8) Listen Actively And Be Observant
An important part of any manager’s role is to take care of staff. Leaders
who value their staff and know their strengths and weaknesses are highly
attuned to the state of their staff.
Actively listening to what is said and to what is left unsaid, to tone
of voice, and the choice of words, to body language and to the energy
of each member of their team can give you an enormous amount of useful
information about how your staff are doing. Be aware and mindful of
the wellbeing of yourself and your staff.
Picking up potential stress early on and looking for ways to minimize
any negative impact needs to become a natural part of a manager’s daily
routine.
9) The Power of Anticipation, Planning and Prioritizing
Organizations which constantly have a kneejerk reaction to situations
create a very stressful working environment. Anticipating future needs
and planning to meet them enables your team to work to their strengths
and to plan effectively.
Prioritize carefully, to ensure things are done in a sensible sequence,
to avoid having to go over things again later.
Plan for efficiency, for you and your team as individuals and as a group.
Think about the impact each person or team has on the other.
Make sure you clear about what really needs to be done and what constitutes
duplication or “jobsworth” activities? (We have done it this was because
we have always done it this way)
Ensure that interruptions or other people’s priorities, phone calls or
emails are given the right levels of precedence. All too often they are
given too much priority because they are immediate. They can cause a
significant amount of stress as staff find themselves getting less and
less done during the day.
Create clear lines of communication between you and your team, and between
your team and others both inside and outside your department?
10) Constructive feedback
Acknowledge the positive contributions within your team and support development
and growth where it is needed in a constructive and supportive way.
Stress is minimized when people feel they are making a valuable contribution
to their organization. Significant job satisfaction is created when
their role is recognized and there is public recognition of the part they
have played.
“Thank you and well done!” must come from the heart. It serves no purpose
to go through the motions.
Give your staff a voice. Encourage your team to share their thoughts
with you and the rest of the team. Sharing their information, strategies
and ideas can reduce stress and motivate team members. Create an appropriate
protocol for people to do so on a regular basis. Remember that the
collective skills, talents, creativity and facility to solve problems
is far greater than any one person. As a manager consider how best to
harness these resources and empower the team as a whole.
Finally if you want to create a culture which minimizes stress think
about how much does your style of leadership impacts on the stress
levels of individuals and the team as a\whole?
Remember:
Stress can cause major health problems or in extreme cases be fatal.
All of the information included is for guidance only. If you are experiencing
any health problems brought on or made worse by stress or if you are
feeling significantly unhappy it is extremely important that you seek
professional health advice. You should always seek the advice of your
medical practitioner before any significant change in diet or exercise
routine.

Part 8 - The SaVVy Club®
The Bane of Business Travellers - LHR Syndrome
A well known but little talked about ailment is affecting many business
travellers. It’s something often suffered in silence. But finally, there
is a cure for Lonely Hotel Room Syndrome.
Your friends are probably envious of your work induced wanderlust. "What
are you moaning about?" they ask as you look crestfallen when yet another
trip looms on the horizon. They don’t understand that the only sight
seeing you get to do is through the grimy window of a train or taxi cab
dashing from one meeting to the next.
But it doesn’t have to be that
way.
There is a simple cure - go out and experience the wealth of culture
around you. A pre-organized social event is perfect. No organizing to
do, just turn up and enjoy. They are the ideal way to meet likeminded
travellers. Just think of the networking opportunities.
Next time you’re heading to London for a volley of meetings, don’t spend
your evenings alone with only the remote control for company. Get out
there and enjoy what the City has to offer.
