Stress to Success with Dr. Irene Cop

Sep 28

I recently had the absolute pleasure of chatting with my dear friend, Dr. Irene Cop. She is a doctor (MD, DC) who crashed and burned because of catastrophic burnout. She has identified "Flameout Syndrome" as the advanced, potentially deadly version of burnout. Through her experience, education, and years of trial and error, she has figured out how to hack stress and overwhelm so you can reignite your inner fire and SHIFT into Success mode.

Are you struggling with brain fog, memory loss or an inability to focus? Are you feeling disengaged, discouraged, disconnected, or maybe more frustrated and irritable? Are you gaining weight? Having trouble sleeping? Relying on caffeine, food, drugs or alcohol to cope? Unfortunately, this is many of us. Society encourages and celebrates people who are overworking to achieve success. Many of us relate feeling worthy with overworking. Enter: Stress.

Have you ever thought of it this way? Stress is neither good nor bad.

Our ability to think and respond in any given situation can never be taken from us. We always have choice and control. Stress can be an indication that something is wrong or it can be a motivator.

Also remember, words have power. How you say things matters. Instead of “I have to go to the gym today,” how about “I’m choosing to go to the gym today.” There are many people that would be grateful to have the time or ability to exercise. Words matter!
