Charisma reduces Stress
| Guest post by: Nikki Owen |
Article Overview: Watching the news, reading the papers, managing a business, relationship issues, getting the kids to school, money worries and physical ailments can raise our stress levels alarmingly. We need this automatic response to survive a hostile environment yet elevated and prolonged stress can play havov with our emotions, our decisions and general well-being. Interestingly, the higher your level of charisma the less stress you experience.

Charisma reduces Stress
As adrenaline and cortisone (the stress hormones) flood our body, our breathing becomes shallow, muscles tense up, the immune system is suppressed and the sleep process is blocked. During my sessions for The Academy for Chief Executives I often see overwhelming numbers of Leaders who complain of anxiety attacks, waking up at 3am full of dread about the future and unbridled rage that they feel out of control.
Interestingly, it is impossible to feel stressed when you are fully accessing your charismatic potential. When you are being you and you are loving what you do you shine.Charisma
is naturally released from our hearts when we feel confident in who we are.
Charisma flows when our work has personal meaning so we naturally activate high
levels of dynamism and passion. Charisma requires acute sensory awareness whereby
you trust your emotional guidance system and listen to your instincts. Charismatic individuals
exude
high levels of energy and have a compelling vision that stirs their senses so
they appear more ‘alive’ that other people. Often when people are stressed they
create a wall of protection, a mask they can retreat behind, aspects of their
personality become exaggerated and extreme – the real authentic person
disappears and we meet the shell or superficial layer of a person and it
naturally unsettles us. Trying to keep up this facade is exhausting. Imagine
trying to hold a beach ball under water for hours, let alone days and months –
the process of suppressing drains energy and positivity.
Working with peoples’
charisma at Shakespeare's Globe Theatre
has
enabled me to study the impact of charisma on stress levels and I can
confidently claim that it does.
As
I’ve grown older I’ve noticed the key role energy plays in every aspect of our
lives. There is a saying: “Energy flows where our focus goes” – if your
focusing on worry, debt, recessions, aches and pains then this is the quickest
way to drain your energy and invite in stress.
- Vist an Emotional Freedom Techniques Practitioner who can unblock your energy and clear your negative emotions.
- Take up meditation - even for just 5 minutes a day because it creates a chemical change in your brain's frontal lobe and boosts your immune system.
- Cut out coffee – it is absolute poison and feeds your stress so it will grow
- Visit a chiropractor who can let you know how you are manifesting stress in your body (tense, nervous headaches? grinding teeth in your sleep?)
- Get your Chakras balanced - chakras are now a widely accepted term in the scientific community – they are the ‘gateways’ where energy enters and exits the body. If one of your chakras is blocked or sluggish this will place great strain on your overall body.
- Take up a hobby or pastime that makes you laugh – visit a Comedy Store or take up Laughter Yoga! Laughter boost the immune system and releases serotonin into your bloodstream.
- Learn HeartMathbreathing to help transform everyday challenges into healthier, more resilient and productive energy.
- Drink more water. Studies have shown that being just half a litre dehydrated will increase cortisol levelsthat cause stress.
- Walk in nature because a series of studies published in the Journal of Environment Psychology, June 2010 conclude that a 20 minute walk significantly boosts energy and vitality.
- Adopt an attitude of acceptance – stress occurs only when you are trying to swim against the flow. An unpleasant circumstance met with the ‘right attitude’ can be a positive factor in your life. Through acceptance you stop wasing emotional energy and start finding creative ways to make the situation better.

Re: Infographic: The 4 Main Stress Factors
- I'd like to reference that article in my next blog post as well.. I worked in sales for years and found that days when I was positive, relaxed where days that it was easy to sell. On days that I was stressed I found I would not reach target. Stress is good at times, but it very easily becomes problematic. I do a lot of very physical exercise and work now, to manage it.
Re: what makes you smile ????
- it's joke, comedy and some funny things which makes me smile.
Smile is a reflection of one's personality. Smile is a positive impression. Smile helps to reduce anti-aging. It's one type of meditation. Smile reduces tension and put one in the present moment instead of thinking.

Money Back Guarantee
- That's a good point Louis - if people don't offer a money back guarantee it shows that they don't believe in their product. Most people never ask for their money back anyway but you have to have confidence in what you're selling. If it delivers value you shouldn't have a problem with the guarantee and it reduces the barrier customers have to buy what you're selling.

Government funding
- It's a great idea to go for government funding sasha. Many of the successful entrepreneurs that I speak with have applied for SR&ED as well as a number of other programs.
I big thing to realize is that raising capital can become almost a full time job. If you have the time to fill in the forms, do all the paperwork, and follow up you can do it yourself but if you want to get an expert on board you can free up your time to focus on growing your business.
Many of the consultants will work on a percentage basis so you only pay them when you get the money which really reduces your risk. If you're going to go it alone make sure to tap into some of the government small business resource centers who can give you some guidance on how to proceed.
