Description: “Can you really feel better right now without unrelenting stress? Our guest today says, “YES!” Stress management expert, Dr. Steph, helps people who experience chronic stress and pain begin feeling better using the 4 Self Healing Skills. They can be done anytime, anywhere, without adding to the already overwhelming stress of today’s life. Dr. Steph’s unique methods and unique insights have been talked about and covered on Blog Talk Radio, been featured in the Glenwood Post Independent, and dozens of other media outlets. Dr. Steph is the founder of Making Shifts Happen as well as the host of a weekly Blog Talk Radio Show. What is stress? It is the demand for change placed on an organism. Our systems want to change, it's exciting and new. But, our nervous system also wants to find the most efficient and easy path. To habituate. Addictive behaviors meet somewhere in the center. However, addictive habits are often trying to re-create the excitement of the first experience, but you can't! And when you keep trying, you are creating the habit. Begin by building resilience to stress BEFORE you start needing to employ them. The Four Self-Healing Skills That Help Reduce Stress 1. Belly Breathing - What is it and how do we do it? 2. Hydration - How much is the right amount? And why? 3. Awareness - Are you distracted? Are you relying on habits to guide your life? 4. Being present in the moment - How "mindful" are you? Learn how to take a "Present Moment Shower!" Engage all of your senses to whatever you are doing...it cleanses the mind. It's like taking a 10-minute mini-vacation! This mini-vacation (being present) is one of the biggest gifts you can give yourself. Dr. Steph has created a Free Repot on the 4 Self Healing Skills.

I check in with innovative experts and individuals in the recovery industry, related fields or just “regular folks” who have had some incredible experiences so we can hear directly from them what is working today for addicts in recovery, for their families and their friends. I also want this to be a learning tool for professionals in the recovery field, a place where ideas can be nurtured and spread, where networking and education can help addiction treatment become more effective all the time. It's estimated that 53 million American's are touched by addiction. It is rare if you have not been personally affected by this disease. So, even if you are not the addict, maybe it's your son or daughter, or Mom or Dad, or sister, brother, cousin, uncle, aunt, co-worker, boss, neighbor, whoever. This disease is impacting you somehow, making your life a little less than what you would like it to be if you could wave a magic wand and create your dream world. I want these cutting edge ideas to be available to those who need help, those who often cannot afford to access the professional help they need. My mission here is to do so much good for the recovery community that I have a positive effect on addiction. I want to help hundreds, if not thousands of addicts (maybe millions someday) to be healthy, sober and free, really enjoying their life in sobriety. Thanks for listening! James Healy
