Stressed spelled backwards is desserts bedeutung: Stress als Gegner und Verbündeter
Stress spelled backwards means desserts - for some people that’s the good part about being stressed out… But for me, stress meant the opposite: running around like a headless chicken, talking a lot and fast, overdoing and barely eating. I took a while to accept that stress is everywhere, but over time I started seeing it as an ally more than an enemy. Curious about my journey and how I will use it to inspire our trainees about stress and resilience?
Before I tell you how I manage stress today, let me take you back down memory lane… Seven years ago, I decided to take a break, shed my employee status, work part-time in an organic store, and attend countless self-development classes. It took me a long time to admit it, but looking back, my underlying goal was to escape from stress and anxiety and find a sense of purpose. I arrived at a point where I just wanted to do nothing, and so I did (LOL)! I believed that it was incoherent to keep doing something I didn’t like. And to create something else, I needed to stop doing what I didn’t like. Doing nothing and escaping reality was not going to solve my problem; I had to find purpose and be coherent with myself. I remember asking myself this important question: “What contribution can I be that will allow me to fulfill my sense of purpose and create value for others?”. Little by little I stepped into action and kept the focus, determined to use my overflowing energy to serve a meaningful and nourishing purpose.
Der Wandel in der Sicht auf Stress
Make no mistake, stress didn’t disappear overnight. When I joined Ormit Talent, my old friend, stress, came along for the ride. I dove in months of reading, listening to stress management specialists, and wondering why people are so eager to banish stress from their lives. This process dared me to look at my own stress triggers and expressions. Admitting to feeling stressed and anxious wasn’t easy - I did believe it was a sign of vulnerability. I started looking at stress differently and listened to people who did not consider stress like an enemy to defeat but as an ally.
Training: Befriending Stress
With our new training on Befriending Stress, I hope to inspire our young talents to build a positive relationship with stress. The first part of the day is all about demystifying stress. What is stress, really? How do you recognize it, how is it expressed, and what are possible triggers? Trainees get to share their own experiences and learn from each other. And we don’t stop there… During the training, trainees will play a game.
In the second part, we introduce our trainees to the concept of the “Corporate Athlete”. They will try different techniques applied by elite athletes that include physical, emotional, mental, and purpose-driven aspects. Some examples? Heart coherence, visualization techniques, and how to switch their mind when facing irrational beliefs and thought patterns… They will learn to apply these things and many more into their busy lives.

Stress und Essverhalten
Research suggests that a substantial minority of individuals, and especially women, tend to consume more food, particularly highly palatable or comfort food, in the context of stressful events, and that this tendency is linked to adverse metabolic outcomes. However, most of these findings are based on self-report scales focused only on eating more during stressful times, which can lead to inaccurate understanding of stress eating, especially because an increasing number of studies have demonstrated that these scales have little to no correlation with more objective measures of stress eating.

The program, broadcast nationwide, is available online, and focuses on topics in psychiatry in order to educate the public, reduce stigma and offer a message of hope. Dr. Dr. Borenstein is a Fellow of the New York Academy of Medicine and serves as the Chair of the Section of Psychiatry at the Academy. He also has served as the President of the New York State Psychiatric Association.
Süßes als Stressbewältigung
Stressed spelled backwards is desserts, which is why we eat ice cream, sweets, and certainly chocolate in stressful situations. But all jokes aside, chocolate is rich in protective antioxidants, which have been scientifically proven to reduce stress by lowering levels of stress hormones and stimulating our brain to release “feel good” chemicals: endorphins, serotonin, dopamine, and oxytocin, boosting pleasure and improving our mood. Go for dark chocolate with a high cocoa content - the higher the better. Unfortunately, only eating chocolate will not eliminate stress completely, so it is recommended to include in the stress relieving strategy several tools such as work-life balance, meditation, progressive muscle relaxation, exercise, yoga, healthy diet, leisure activities, and, of course, aromatherapy.

Alltagstipps für stressige Zeiten
The holidays can be a time of celebration and joy, but they can also mean increased sadness, anxiety, depression, isolation, and stress for many. You may be missing family or friends, or feel like you don’t have anyone to really connect with. It’s okay to take time for self-care or take a break from gatherings. When we are stressed, we often hold our breath and breathe more shallow, allowing less oxygen to the brain. Whether you are putting up holiday decorations or washing the dishes after a family meal, shift your attention to being deliberate and thoughtful. Being too connected to technology can put our brain on overload. When we spend too much time on social media, we often start to feel left out because our holidays aren’t as “perfect” as our friends’. During times of stress, we tend to sleep too little or too much. Try to maintain a healthy sleep schedule. Make sure you take time daily to move - get the blood flowing and bring your attention to the present moment. The NUMBER ONE gift to yourself this holiday season is to take very good care of yourself. Be gentle to yourself and accept “good enough”. Things don’t have to be “perfect”. PRACTICING SELF-CARE NOW will set you up for a wonderful New Year. And always remember that STRESSED is DESSERTS spelled backwards.
