How can you make the most of your stress? RESET: Make the Most of Your Stress was named Motivational Book of 2015 Winner and a Finalist in the Self-Help and Health and Wellness categories by Next Generation Indie Book Awards. RESET has been called "a breakthrough model that reframes our ideas about stress" , and "an excellent guide chock full of practical strategies, insightful stories, and wise advice for anyone who experiences stress in their daily work" . There are far too many 5-step, simplistic models of stress reduction to go around. Reset offers a fresh perspective that is not only backed up with years of research and clinical practice, but presented in a way that allows each reader to take into account their own circumstances and develop a plan for well-being that actually works.When you feel the negative effects of stress and anxiety, RESET's components will help you get your bearings and recalibrate: Realize. Energize. Soothe. End Unproductive Thinking. Talk it Out. Whether you know it or not, you're already responding to stress-either constructively or destructively. Read RESET to develop a plan that is unique to you and your circumstances to better equip you to respond to the challenges before you and make the most of your stress. Many of us have been told that stress is bad and that we should do what we can to prevent or avoid it. Given so many aspects of our lives are unpredictable, stress is natural and inevitable. RESET gives practical advice on how to recognize and accept when we are stressed; own that feeling and situation; and turn that stress on its head to our benefit. Dr. Kris is just like us who experience stress and issues; she just found a way to make life more enjoyable and she's sharing these tools through RESET so that more of us can live (not manage) our lives. --Dr. Siu Ming Luie Thank you for your interest in my work! I have been blown away from the response thus far--from the teenage girl who has told me that she reads it nightly to help her with the panic she is facing through her college search process, to the CEO who told me he was almost completely burnt out before implementing the RESET principles, and all of my University students from across the world and a variety of professions who have told me RESET has changed their lives. I've worked for over 20 years as a mental health clinician, specializing in preventing and treating stress, anxiety and burnout. Books can be an amazing tool for transformation, and there are a lot of great ones out there that have changed my life and those I serve. Unfortunately, there are far too many books that are of pop Psychology nature--they are too fluffy to actually bring impact. Other books are too heady and full of jargon and offer few strategies that are realistic and helpful given the complex roles we are in at work and at home.I have been inspired to develop RESET as a tool that can be adapted to anyone's life situation. It combines my many years as a behavioral clinician, researcher and professor.  Whether dealing with major whoppers like death, divorce or oppression, or even everyday adjustment and change, it offers you the chance to reflect on how to be proactive and not let yourself get so filled with anxiety that it disrupts your life and well-being.I hope you will not only enjoy RESET, but it will have a lasting impact on how you see yourself and how you cope with stress. Please feel free to stay connected via Social media, and use the hashtag "#onlywe", meaning we need to link arms together to combat anxiety and burnout and make the most of our lives. Take great care,Dr. Kris We have been conditioned to think that all stress is bad and that we need to devote our time to either managing it or eliminating it altogether. New research, however, reveals that stress can actually serve as a motivating force, propelling us into action-especially when we attend to ourselves through a process known as "self-care". The RESET system builds on the premise that our brains and bodies benefit from consistently engaging in productive thinking, exercise, enjoyable activities and positive connections. This book provides a universal framework for wellness in a wide range of life situations: when practiced regularly, it can improve adaption to a host of circumstances. Driven by useful treatment models and years of clinical practice, RESET offers strategies for well-being that can be tailored and relied upon.When you're feeling the negative effects of stress, RESET's five components can help you get your bearings and recalibrate. Realize. Energize. Soothe. End Unproductive Thinking. Talk it Out. Whether you know it or not, you're already responding to stress-either constructively or destructively. By creating a RESET plan that is unique to your own set of circumstances, you can better equip yourself to respond to the challenges before you and make the most of your stress.
