JUGGLE AWAY HOLIDAY STRESS
“It’s the Most WONDERFUL Time of the Year” . . . and can also be the most STRESSFUL!
The American Psychological Association’s 2013 Stress in America Report found that nearly HALF (44%) of adults say they are not doing enough or are not sure whether they are doing enough to manage their stress. And 19% say they NEVER engage in stress management activities. The APA also reported that women are more likely than men to report heightened stress levels during the holiday season.
According to Jen Slaw, executive director of Juggling Life, Inc., speaker, trainer, and expert juggler, the practice of actual juggling can teach us important strategies for better managing stress in our lives, maintaining our health, and keeping those extra balls in the air.
In this segment, Jen will share with your audience 4 key strategies to reduce stress, find balance, and “Have a BALL!” during this joyous season.
VISUAL PROP DEMONSTRATIONS:
• Jen will toss around a clock, light up ball, and sack of coins, to show what’s possible when you create a dynamic balance of Time, Energy and Money.
• Jen can illustrate how to “keep all the balls in the air” by juggling up to 5 Christmas Ball ornaments or “snowballs!”
• Jen will even get your host juggling in a side-by-side partner pattern – without stress (see photo) – proving that we can accomplish more with help and support!
CELEBRITIES WHO JUGGLE:
• Hugh Jackman (To balance acting, singing, dancing!)
• Tom Hanks
• Ellen Page

B.A.L.L. FORMULA FOR REDUCING STRESS:
Break it down. Plan ahead and take it One Step at a Time. Focus and be present and in the moment.
Ask for help. We accomplish more when we work together! Seek support from family and friends.
Learn from the drops. Mistakes can lead to creative solutions you never considered. Discover unique, financially responsible gifts and activities.
Let it go! Just do it! Let go of Perfectionism: Done is Better than Perfect! Learn to say NO and take time for yourself to relax and re-energize.
