Managing Overwhelm
Coaching Programs with Virginia Kravitz
Managing feelings of overwhelm means improving how you deal with this uncomfortable feeling as it arises and understanding what it is trying to tell you. This is an important skill to master since feeling overwhelmed “comes with the territory” when you are living a full life. The following two programs can be incorporated into your coaching gradually, as needed, or taken on as the main focus and practiced in depth.
OASIS in the
Overwhelm
This coaching program is based on Millie
Grenough’s book: OASIS in the
Overwhelm: 60 second strategies for balance
in a busy world. Recommended by
Dr. Bernie Siegel, Dr. David Katz, and
other experts in the field of preventive
health, the core of the OASIS strategies
is that they address four dimensions
of awareness: physical, emotional, intellectual,
and spiritual.
Simple to perform, yet profoundly effective, the strategies help you determine the most appropriate action to take in the present. The underlying OASIS philosophy is based on the latest scientific research that indicates you can learn to “rewire your brain” and establish healthier ways of dealing with stress.
The four basic OASIS strategies can be learned in one hour or less. Each one takes only 60 seconds to do.
As an authorized OASIS Trainer, I will not only teach you the strategies but also show you variations and tips for remembering how and when to use them in your everyday life. Combining OASIS training with my coaching will give you the opportunity to proactively manage your real life situations and challenges. Go from learning the OASIS strategies to mastering them. Feel what “rewiring the brain” really means!

“Ginny,
I just wanted to let you know how much
I look forward to your e-zine. Seldom is
it that I don’t redirect it to friends,
family, or associates from work. They are
always insightful and thought provoking.
As a result of your issue about the 1-stone
OASIS mediation, I went out and purchased
2 dozen stones and have already sent them
to those I feel will benefit the most.
Kind of a “pay it forward.”
