How do we differentiate the good stress from the bad stress that is present in our lives today, and what exactly is stress? Can we really live a stress-free life? Is it even possible?   Our guest on today's show, Scarlette Acevedo is a registered member of the Australian Counseling Association, Public Health Association of Australia, and the International Union for Health Promotion and Education. Let's unpack some of this and see how we can't seem to avoid it.  Scarlette has developed her own method for making stress work for people instead of against them. Her current focus is on helping business leaders break free from stress. By integrating mental health and physical health, she aims to empower individuals to do the same. The extent to which we will be able to contribute our gifts, talents, and skills to society and humanity as a whole depends heavily on our overall well-being.   CONTENTS   - [00:02:45] How can we differentiate the good stress and bad stress?  - [00:06:46] How can we stop or manage stress?  - [00:10:49] Tips on releasing stress or reducing the level of cortisol that these challenging situations cause in our lives.  - [00:12:41] The ability to say no  - [00:16:00] Health and wellbeing at a personal or organizational level being affected.  - [00:24:59]  A huge positive difference in a staff member's lives   - [00:28:15] The number one mistake by leaders and persons today  - [00:30:34] Resources that can help us on our journey towards utilizing stress to our advantage  - [00:33:20] Simple tips on how to decrease your anxiety and stress.  - [00:44:40] Priceless lesson that Scarlette learned when she burnt out.  - [00:46:14] Tamar asks Scarlette her quintessential final question   "To love yourself as a human being before your job title, before your university degrees, before your assets, before being someone's wife or someone's husband or someone's mother or father."  Scarlette Acevedo The COO’s Corner, Episode 19   Scarlet Acevedo  Mental Health Counselor, Public Health and Health Promotion Expert Scarlette is the Good Rebel, crushing the stigma against Stress and Mental Health.
