Increase Productivity with Holistic Wellness Training

“Increase Productivity with Holistic Wellness Training!” is a declaration I am willing to make over and over again.  Recent studies have affirmed how employer-sponsored wellness programs have increased productivity in the workplace and I am affirming how holistic wellness has increased productivity in my personal life.

I began my career in the performing arts where unhealthy habits were easily picked up  by young artists wanting to belong. Spending late nights brainstorming, unloading personal problems,  drinking, smoking and even taking “pot shots” were part of the so called “creative process” of becoming a true blooded artist-activist in the 1980′s. I was an active participant, to say the least.

I also wore the image of the “tyrant director”, as was expected during those days, using raw emotions,  demeaning words and a “powerful voice” to scare the wits out of actors and production crew. It was a formula that worked during that time, where people were motivated by fear to increase productivity.

Things have changed along the way and so have I, thanks to the experience I went through with New York Acting Coach, Eric Morris and professional actors from the Actors Workshop Foundation in Manila particularly Laurice Guillen, Gina Alajar and Leo Martinez. They all helped me learn to design and conduct training programs that went beyond acting. My love for the arts transformed from an “ego tripping venture” into  empowering people and building character through the arts. This was career wellness in the making, but I didn’t realize it then.

I soon found myself immersed in the corporate world, using theater games modified and designed to fit the needs of  Team Building , Personality Development, Customer Service, and Leadership workshops and seminars. The element of fear was taken away from the picture and the elements of fun, love and support took over. This was social wellness beginning and again I never thought it was such.

I was more productive alright but something was still missing. I was getting tired and lacked the motivation, inspiration, and drive to continue believing that my chosen profession in the arts and training would last me for a lifetime. I fell into depression. I found myself getting sick more often. There was imbalance in my emotional, spiritual and physical wellness.

[amazon-product alink="0000FF" bordercolor="FFFFFF" height="240"]1401923119[/amazon-product]I soon uncovered the source of this dramatic scenario in my life – my very own self-limiting beliefs programmed in my subconscious at a very young age. After reading cell biologist and best selling author, Bruce Lipton’s books on the BIOLOGY OF BELIEF and CONSCIOUS PARENTING, I became more aware of what was happening to me.  I was actually functioning from the point of view that I wasn’t good enough, that I will always end up a starving artist, that my training will never be as good as others, and that I don’t deserve happiness in life because of all the bad things I’ve done in the past. Yes, this strong confident woman was actually a scared little girl who still carried guilt, anger and self-pity caused by molestations in the past. Apparently, my trauma affected my perception of who I was and what I thought of the world. I had to work on my intellectual wellness to keep me balanced.

With that, began the faster journey of defining how my self-limiting beliefs,  affected my emotional, spiritual, physical, career and financial wellness. To say that I have increased productivity in my daily life is an understatement. I am not only productive, I am happy, excited, inspired and motivated knowing that there are  endless possibilities with which I can enjoy life and live in abundance.

It may have taken me years to fully understand what holistic wellness was all about and its benefits but what if I could design a holistic wellness training session to jump start the process of becoming more productive and happy in any chosen profession? Now, that’s really making things more productive.

Here’s news! It’s no longer a thought. A Teacher’s Wellness Training workshop is launched and reservations are open. Wellness workshops for other groups will be designed according to the needs of the specific profession. Email info@lovingabundance.com to request a tailor-fit wellness program for your team.
