Your Personal “Fun Factor” always guarantees a great time!
Regardless of your role at the event, put the JOY back into en-joy-ment!
FACT: You will be relaxed, happy, and enjoy any event as soon as you discover your Style and apply it to your role at the event. Ask your body, ‘Are we having fun, yet?’ Your answer depends on your personal comfort zone…beyond the physical; your comfort zone includes your emotional, spiritual and psychological state, as well.
Your body never lies. When you listen to her answer, you learn what you feel like in your comfort zone anytime, anywhere, with anyone. My clients check in with their BFFs, their bodies on a regular basis by asking that most important question: “Are we having fun, yet?”
Events & You
As an invited guest:
- Wear comfortable clothes, shoes, and a smile.
- Just before entering the event, dance your practice, practice your dance
- Control your consumption of food and alcohol
- Keep your foot far from your mouth
- HAVE A GREAT TIME meeting new people and catching up with familiar friends and family
As the hostess:
- Wear comfortable clothes, shoes, and welcoming smile.
- Dance Your Practice and Practice your Dance.
- This is YOUR party so do it YOUR way!
- Decorations, Food, Drinks, and Favors are simply a conversation away—with YOUR BODY.
-
There is Magic in Motion:
- You and your body circulate to create associations among your guests;
- Spread your positive energy around;
- Steer potential friends toward each other, potential enemies away from each other; and
- Set the fun example, by having a GREAT TIME at your own party!
As the honored guest:
- If you’re the bride, take off your Jimmy Chou’s after the ceremony and replace them with bunny slippers!
- If the attention on you creates discomfort, help the hostess with her social obligations. Helping always contributes to increasing your fun factor!
- If you LOVE being the FOCUS of everyone’s attention, DO NOT DISAPPOINT! Talk to your body and ENTERTAIN THE TROOPS with song, dance, speeches, and pictures of your last vacation! (I’m kidding about the pictures)
P.S. When you “Dance your practice, practice your dance!” the whole world dances with you!
Do this to increase EVERYONE’S FUN FACTOR!

FACT: Events occurring in June contain four of the top ten anxiety inducing situations (marriage, family changes, debt and travel). When you’re stressed, your body has one of these three reactions:
Regardless of your specific response to stress inducers, your body’s reaction is always an extra dose of cortisol which slooooooowwwwwssssss your metabolism almost to a stop.
The result? FAT!
Celery or Chocolate Éclairs: regardless of what you eat, when you are stressed, you will get the most “bang” possible from every bite.
How ironic that when you want to look your best for an upcoming event, your body betrays you.
No! NOT TRUE! It is YOU who betrays your BODY!
The Body Knowledge System® is the Stress Solution for Event Anxiety.
1) Body talk keeps it real.
2) Comfortable clothes create confidence, enhance enjoyment, and reduce stress!
3) Make each event easy on yourself…you are a guest, not the main attraction.
Client Story
Dahlia felt her stomach tighten as soon as she saw the return address embossed on the creamy linen envelope containing an invitation to her niece’s elaborate June wedding in Beverly Hills, CA. Aware of the upcoming event for months, she had dreaded this moment due to the family’s expectations. Her hand shook as she stared at the RSVP card. Taking a deep breath, she reached for her copy of the Body Knowledge System®. Flipping it open to page 288, she read the introduction to the “Events & You” chapter. Her heartbeat slowed as she continued reading the reassuring words and the notations she had made in the margins. By page 308, she felt her smile return as she reviewed her notes addressing this event. Those notes were a product of her rediscovery of a real relationship with her body and the deep friendship that had been developing since she began to practice the Body Knowledge System® with her coach, Stephanie Wood, PPC.
Remember: Whether it’s a family event, or a networking opportunity, or a party with total strangers, or people you really don’t want to be with, BKS has a hot flash for you: JUST SAY NO, THANK YOU! And feel your anxiety slip away…taking the cortisol with it.
As an alternative, send a gift, and spend the day at the beach, the movies, or with a good book.
