Answer Upon - 7 Ways to Annihilate Stress with Your Cell Phone
Leading Meetings: The Top Three Challenges uncle or best friend who is not around anymore but you know in your heart would support your decisions? If so why not use your memory of them to help you annihilate stress?What do people really find challenging about leading meetings? Here are the top three questions that keep on cropping up followed by guidelines or simple ways to keep meetings under control and on track. Make your meetings work.1. “Do you have any tips on encouraging people to be on time to meetings?”The general rule is to start the meeting on time. This gives the message to people that you are serious about time and meeting management. If you start late, it penalizes the people who make an effort to be there at the designated time. Also, if someone only needs to attend for one particular segment of the meeting, let that person know approximately when that agenda item will be dealt with. Then that person does not have to attend the entire meeting, but just the part for his input.Also, research suggests that setting a meeting time that is NOT on the hour or half hour is more likely to result in people arriving on time. For example, consider starting your meeting at 2:10 P.M. rather than 4. Another feature of my cell phone is a “voice memo.” I can record up to 60 seconds on my voice memo. In 60 seconds I can give myself a little exercise in deep breathing or I can give myself a short motivational presentation. If you are in sales you may use it for your “elevator speech,” or what you say during your introductory call. 5. Voice Mail: If you need more than 60 seconds, you might call your voice mail and record your stress annihilation exercise or motivational speech in voice mail so you have to option to listen to it anytime you feel you need it. 6. Text messages. You can send text messages to anyone you desire including yourself. Why not text yourself a message, “Remember to breathe deeply and relax today?” 7. The main purpose of a cell phone is to call other people. For exercise number 7 in my cell phone stress annihilation program, as you dial your telephone and are waiting for it to make a connection, ring or as you wait for your call recipient to pick up or for the call to go into voice mail, take a long, slow deep breath and relax. Again, remember to breathe deeply as you begin you telephone conversation. You will find your mind sharp, alert and focused on your cell phone call. As you relax, you will find your memory more acute than it is when you are stressed. Summary: You can experience stress just by going to a nice restaurant a Revlon and Its Founder, Charles Revson Every day we use cellular telephones. We place calls, text message, plan our day and receive calls on our cell phones.The story of Charles Revson, founder of cosmetics giant Revlon, is truly one of ‘rags to riches’. By the time of his death, Revson – an entrepreneurial icon - had grown his tiny cosmetic store into a global cosmetics giant.The son of a cigar maker, Charles Revson entered our world in 1906, in Montreal, Quebec. His moved to Manchester, New Hampshire when Charles was a boy.Following completion of high school, he moved to Boston. He got a job as a dress salesman, and then worked in a firm selling cosmetics. At age 25 he quit that job, when he was refused a promotion, and determined that he would start his own cosmetics business. To do so, he brought his brother, Martin, as well as a cosmetics chemist, Charles Lachman, with him, and together they started Revlon Cosmetics in New York City.The company was funded with a mere $300 and initially specialized in nail polishes (Charles would test the products on his own nails), differentiating itself from the competition by the wide assortment of colors they off We also observe other people walking down the street seemingly hard wired to their cell phones. Just go to in any restaurant in the United States, sit down for a quiet dinner, and you will soon be barraged by cell phone conversations. When you get up from you table to go to the restroom, you will hear other people in stalls talking on their cell phones. Does this create more stress in your life? Yes it does. Do people who are constantly on their cell phones experience more stress than those of us who are unplugged? I think so. They feel that they “have to” have their cell phones on at all times or they will miss out on something extremely important. Your cell phone can be your biggest enemy in your war against stress or it can be your greatest ally. In the midst of all of this cell phone stress and tension, I have created a program to enable you to annihilate stress with your cell phone. Cell Phone Stress Annihilation Program Most of the stress that we encounter during the day is core stress. Core stress is what occurs every time you “have to” do something rather than “want to do” something. Example #1: “Tomorrow is Monday and I will “have to” go to work. Going to work is a “have to” or a core stress associated task. Example #2: “Tomorrow our bonus checks are coming in.” “I want to go to work, tomorrow.” You may be going to the same job, however, since you are going to work to receive your bonus check, you have annihilated stress with your “want to” attitude rather than the “have to” attitude in example 1. Back to the restaurant Now you are back at the restaurant, sitting down and enjoying your dinner. You are treated to someone in a loud voice saying into his cell phone, “can you hear me now?” Then in a littler louder voice he says, “Can you hear me now?” You are on the receiving end of core stress. In fact you are the recipient of the cell phone user’s stress. You “have to” listen to this person’s voice. You wanted to sit down and eat at the restaurant. Your “want to” attitude now has changed, because of the fact that you “have to” listen to this loud person. In order to change your attitude you must get back into the “want to” mindset. Yes, this is easier said then done, but you want to do this anyway. Simply focus on your table your place setting and the people sitting with you and take three slow deep breaths. Now think to yourself, “I want to be at this restaurant.” “I am relaxing and I am in charge of my own attitude.” “It is up to me to have an enjoyable time here at the restaurant.” You may want to remember that people who are hardwired to their cell phones are experiencing great amounts of stress. They fear failure in that they think that they will lose something of great value if they do not respond using their phones, and they feel rejection. They feel may feel they will lose someone of great importance whether that be a friend, a business associate or a potential client. Fear is what is driving these people to keep their phones in every part of their everyday lives. Make sure you do not let these strangers’ fears become contagious. Keep breathing deeply and relaxing and enjoy your dinner. How Can I Change the Way I React to My Cell Phone? Cell phones like computers are here to stay. They come in handy for emergencies and represented our businesses and our lives “in a box.” (A very small box I might add) You can change the way you react toward your cell phone and actually create one of the best tools for annihilating stress at the same time. Cell Phone Stress Annihilation Exercise My cell phone is manufactured by Samsung and is three years old. I use Verizon Wireless as my carrier. I understand that many of you have the features I will talk about but many of you may not. You may find by experimenting that you have many additional features that will help you annihilate stress. All of you have some of the features that will turn your cell phone from a stress creating device into a stress annihilating tool. I have found 7 features of my cell phone that will annihilate stress. 1. Your visual cell phone recognition: As you locate your cell phone visually on your desk, your night stand, or the front seat of your car, take a long slow deep breath like this. Inhale slowly….hold it…now let it out. Let all of the tension to leave your body now. Use your cell phone as an anchoring device for your deep breathing. Whenever you are in a stressful situation, breathing shallows. By practicing deep breathing each and every time your visually look at your cell phone, you will be annihilating any stress that may be lurking in your body at this time. 2. The next feature of the cell phone stress annihilator is located in your daily planner. Many cell phones include a planner that is used much like a palm pilot planner. The first item located in my planner is a “to do list.” If you have located your planner enter the word “Breathe” as your top item on the list. After all, Dr. Andrew Weil the famous health doctor believes that deep breathing, at intervals several times a day is the best exercise you can do for both your mind and body. Let Dr Weil be our guide. If you are like me and have trouble spelling words with your little keypad, just type the letter “B” for “breathe.” When you are using your cell phone, check your “to do” list and breathe. 3. Another feature of my cell phone planner is the “memo pad.” Here I can write the word “breathe” or include a “b” as well. This is a personal memo from me reminding me to breathe. One thing I do for motivation rather than use breathe or b is I typed in the following words, “I believe in you, Butch.” Butch was my best friend and died shortly after he got out of the Marines about 30 years ago. I like to use the phrase as an affirmation that I can accomplish anything I want to accomplish. By entering in “I believe in you and putting his name it helps me feel I am not alone and Butch will help me enjoy my success. Is there anyone in your life, a parent, grandparent, a favorite uncle or best friend who is not around anymore but you know in your heart would support your decisions? If so why not use your memory of them to help you annihilate stress? 4. Another feature of my cell phone is a “voice memo.” I can record up to 60 seconds on my voice memo. In 60 seconds I can give myself a little exercise in deep breathing or I can give myself a short motivational presentation. If you are in sales you may use it for your “elevator speech,” or what you say during your introductory call. 5.

Summary: You can experience stress just by going to a nice restaurant at Just Do It and Ask for Forgiveness Later eive your bonus check, you have annihilated stress with your “want to” attitude rather than the “have to” attitude in example 1.The greatest shifts in American culture tend to originate from the media, but even something as innocuous as a saying can drive a cultural change. One saying in particular seems to epitomize a cultural shift that seems to be going unnoticed.“Just do it and ask for forgiveness later.”Heard that one lately? Used that one lately? We all have, and most of us have likely heard this used at work.The first time I heard it, I was a little shocked. It sounded like something I would have used as a kid while trying to rationalize using Mom’s Visa Card without her knowledge. Taken aback, I looked back at my manager to see if he was serious; he was. The walls of resistance softened, and I began to nod slowly. The stamp of authority seemed sufficient to justify doing something that I would not have ordinarily done.Maybe I was raised with unusual values. My parents were adamant that I say “please” and “thank you”. I didn’t tell my parents where I was going or what I was doing; I had to ask. May I go to Suzi' Back to the restaurant Now you are back at the restaurant, sitting down and enjoying your dinner. You are treated to someone in a loud voice saying into his cell phone, “can you hear me now?” Then in a littler louder voice he says, “Can you hear me now?” You are on the receiving end of core stress.

Summary: You can experience stress just by going to a nice restaurant a Setting Clearer Performance Expectations what is driving these people to keep their phones in every part of their everyday lives.The annual performance review.Stating this phrase guarantees some reaction for anyone who has ever had one, or had to give one as a supervisor or manager. In my experience in working with organizations, that reaction is seldom positive.The concept behind the performance review or evaluation is a good one. It is a chance for someone to discuss their accomplishments, get feedback on their progress, and build a plan for continuous improvement. The idea makes sense, which is why every organization I’ve worked with has these meetings between a supervisor and an employee.Unfortunately, while the idea is sound, far too often, in execution, these meetings are ineffective at best, and counter-productive at worst. While there are many reasons why this is true, one of those reasons is that supervisors don’t know how to do one of the most critical parts of this event effectively – setting clear performance expectations.Without clear expectations from the previous year, the discussion becomes too subje Make sure you do not let these strangers’ fears become contagious.

Your accountant, insurance agent, landlord, truck fleet dealer, or your parts supplier? A big “No” should be the answer in all those cases. How about your Yellow Page rep?Getting the phone to ring is your number one priority, not fixing plumbing.
