Access Bars In The Workplace
Posted by Julie D. Mayo
Stress is a reality we all encounter, but what if stress didn’t have to be the overarching layer in your organization? What if problems could be surpassed and replaced with opportunities and possibilities? What if a simple technique and a shift in perspective could boost both productivity and profitability?
How to Reduce Stress in the Workpplace with Access Bars
It gets really tough to sustain high levels of productivity for long periods of time if you're always dealing with high levels of anxiety, not sleeping well, self-medicating.
If you're uptight or you're stressed or anxious, you might go hunting for problems, and forget to see the whole picture.
You constantly abuse your body, trying to perform. It's not a long term solution for the business, for the employees, and for the success of both.
Even the happiest, strongest people need help sometimes. They need to be able to put themselves first and have a moment to just unwind.
You make it about the money. You make it so significant about what will show up, what is the result. I know this is a very different point of view, but what if we eliminated all of that?
Access Bars is a gentle technique... using light touch on the head... that anyone can use. Practiced in over 170 countries by hundreds of thousands of people!
I come from a background in corporate sales, and for me, Bars played a huge role in that. So we work on quarters. A lot of salespeople either have quarters or end of months and that is a time when the pressure is very high. The anxiety levels are really high. So getting my Bars run was really critical for me.
What I would tell anyone who's interested in Bars in business… Talk to your health and wellness department. Bring in a couple of Bars facilitators. Put that budget towards it and see what happens.
Best case, you have an increase in performance, your closing ratios go up, your team isn't as stressed. You're able to be a lot more productive as a team and hit your next month's quota without having that week of lag time.
I set up a Bars room in my law firm where everybody can have a Bars session. What I noticed is as soon as people know there is a method they can apply, where they can recover fully in 30 to 45 minutes, the stress level decreased.
Sometimes I have to work till one or two in the morning. Next meeting is at 8 am next morning, most of the time you can't sleep because you're so nervous.
Knowing that I can book a Bars session and my body will fully recover, because that depth of relaxation is so deep that it replaces 6 hours of sleep for me. It relaxes the whole atmosphere in the company. It relaxes the way people interact with each other.
We have the ability to change everything in this world. We have the ability to choose something different. What if now is that time and that space to start choosing that and create a different reality, and we no longer had this instantaneous reaction to what was right and what was wrong?
Because if you take away that focus, and Bars takes away the focus, if you take away that focus you literally have more awareness. You're not only receiving what's in front of you, you're receiving everything from all around you.
