/PRNewswire/ -- Wellness Junction (www.wellnessjunction.com)
is offering a free article outlining the benefits of incorporating a new breed of
motivational tapes into an everyday wellness program. What makes these recordings
different is their approach to the end goals of smoking cessation, weight management and
stress management. Produced by companies like Personal Growth Technologies (Pleasant Ridge, Mich.) the tapes use new advances in recording technology, placing the listener into a virtual soundscape right where the action is taking place. The narration is punctuated by sound effects that seem to leap out from all angles, holding the listener's attention and making the experience colorful and entertaining. Showiness aside, the program has shown to back up its high-tech methodology with success in the real world. Weight-loss participants averaged a 14-pound drop, 54 percent of 700 responding smokers had quit after three months and more participants of the stress management program than not reported better concentration, relaxation and increased productivity. Not only do these tapes appear to be working: they are standing the test of time. Almost half of the listeners are still using the tapes six months after their initial exposure. To view the study in its entirety, visit http://www.wellnessjunction.com/prof/ and register (a free service, requiring minimal personal information). Also available on the site this week is a study on self-rejuvenation and tips to avoid job burnout (``How To Refocus and Revitalize Without Quitting Your Job'') and a report on the Board of Sponsors of the National Breast Cancer Awareness Month's goals for improved breast cancer education in the workplace (``Companies Challenged To Improve Fight Against Breast Cancer''). These articles are produced by American Business Publishing, which is responsible for healthcare newsletters; wellness program yearbooks; and publications geared toward upper management.
