Dr. Terry
Lyles is the "Stress Doctor". He has
appeared on NBC News as a crisis consultant and in
U.S. News and World Reports and has
hosted his own radio talk show sponsored by Success
Magazine. Dr. Lyles specializes in human
performance under pressure through mind/body work-rest cycles.
This unique technology of stress utilization has
been used by companies such as DaimlerChrysler, Estee
Lauder, Pfizer, Universal Studios, Tommy Hilfiger,
and has been quoted by many within these organizations as
providing "a life changing experience" and "the
greatest stress management training I have ever seen".
This technology is utilized by the military, Special Forces,
professional athletes, and performing arts persons. Good
Stress "Living Younger Longer" is
Dr. Lyles' new book scheduled for release October 2006 (Healthful
Communications Publishing). This book covers how stress,
competition, and chaos can be harnessed to actually increase
productivity and performance without causing undue hardship
to the body. It offers specific tools on how people can
redirect negative stress into positive constructive energy.
Redirecting the trauma of stress was at the heart of the
training Dr. Lyles was summoned to do for hundreds
of corporate and public safety workers in and around Ground
Zero in New York following the 911 tragedy. |

"When there's no time left on the clock, you're 2 points
down and on the foul line, what is that person thinking
about before they shoot the shot? If they have one mental
thought that says, 'If I miss this shot we lose' ... within
moments, they are secreting negative brain chemistry,"
says Terry Lyles, psychologist. It's all about taking
yourself out of the moment, he explains, about using rituals
to transport yourself before the shot or point. "They
have to go from the mental side to tap into the emotional
side next, which takes them to the physical part, which
will be to shoot the foul shot. They've shot thousands of
foul shots, but the issue is not shooting the foul shot,
the issue is screaming fans, no time on the clock, and your
whole team is looking for you to perform. The issue is focus."

The goals here come straight from basic psychology: to unearth
who you really are, to decide who you want to be, and to
take action. Clients are taught to alternate periods of
intense stress with periods of relaxation or release, in
fitness and in life. "In the corporate world, people
are trained to be linear," says Terry Lyles,
a resident clinical psychologist. "They start the day
and don't take breaks." He explains that an emotional
and mental shift down - a rolling pattern as opposed to
a straight line - will allow executives to come back and
be totally refreshed.

Have you ever
felt like a year's vacation traveling the world would be
just what the doctor ordered? Sounds great, but this plan
has various problems. The problem list might start with
boredom, loneliness, regret, confusion, wishing for another
day at the office, or chasing the kids around the house.
What could possibly be wrong with this kind of thinking?
The problem really begins with how often we take vacations!
Elite Performance training used by pro athletes and Special
Forces persons, suggest a vacation or work/rest cycle frequently!
