Introductory Enrollment for people who work independently,

Enjoy your work without Stress and Burnout
Knowledge is Freedom
Stop The Stress™ is part of the Good With Me™ Global Well-Being Initiative
For more than 36 years...I lived that life too.
I know what it's like to build something that's your own.
I also know the satisfaction that comes from independently helping people, serving others , and watching your business grow.
I also know what it feels like to carry the weight of every decision.
When you're the owner...
The manager
The customer service department
The marketing department
The problem solver
The decision maker
...all at once.
And when something doesn't go as planned...
There's no one else to hand it to.
Owning your own business can be one of life's greatest joys.
It can also quietly become one of life's heaviest burdens.
The good news is...it doesn't have to stay that way.
Imagine This
This isn't wishful thinking.
It's what becomes possible when you understand how your brain creates stress...and how to retrain it to respond differently.
That's exactly what Stop The Stress™ was designed to help you do.
The first step toward freedom is understanding why stress happens in the first place.
About Patricia Noll
Patricia Noll has spent more than 36 years working with individuals on personal growth, self-esteem, and well-being...through education, professional programs, and community initiatives.
Her focus has always been the same: helping people understand why they feel stuck, stressed, or not good enough...and giving them tools to change that from the inside out.
Patricia Noll
At the heart of that approach is a distinction Patricia discovered decades ago: the difference between depending on outside approval for your sense of worth and developing a sense of worth that comes from within.
That distinction became the foundation of Good With Me™...and continues to influence the principles behind Stop The Stress™.
Those principles continue to help individuals, workplaces, and communities become calmer, healthier, and more resilient.

Knowledge is Freedom.
From Imagination to Freedom
Freedom from waking up already exhausted.
Freedom from carrying work home every night.
Freedom from worrying about what everyone thinks.
Freedom from living in your head.
Freedom from unnecessary stress.
Freedom to enjoy work again.
Freedom to think clearly.
Freedom to sleep.
Freedom to laugh.
Freedom to be present with the people you love.
Freedom to build a business without it consuming your life.
People who understood this well.
When I first met this husband and wife team...they owned an independent retail store.
Like many independent business owners...they worked long hours, cared deeply about their customers, and poured their hearts into building their business.
After reading Good With Me...the husband told me something I've never forgotten.
He kept the book on his nightstand.
Every morning he opened it to a random page, read one message, and carried that thought with him throughout the day.
The principles became part of the way he lived.
They believed in the message so much that they opened their store to the public and hosted a Good With Me book signing for their community.
Years later...changes in the area where their business was located led them to make a different decision.
Rather than continuing down the same path...they chose a new chapter.
He became an independent Realtor.
She devoted her time to caring for her aging mother.
Today, he continues to live the Good With Me principles.
I've even had the occasional client stop by his real estate office simply to meet him and talk with someone who was living the Good With Me principles.
It isn't something you simply read...it's something you live.
This story is a reminder that something different is possible...
Owning a business doesn't have to mean carrying unnecessary stress.
The Hidden Cost of Carrying It All
Stress doesn't begin when you start your workday.
When you own the business, it's easy to feel like you're never really off....and many independent business owners carry more of that weight than they realize.
Why Most Stress Programs Don't Solve the Real Issue
Most wellness programs focus on coping after stress has already taken hold.
Many teach you how to—
- Push through
- Calm down afterward
- Manage symptoms once damage has begun
Those approaches can be helpful.
And yet, they simply don't explain why stress keeps coming back.
Stop The Stress™ starts somewhere different.
It helps you understand why stress happens in the first place.
Why Stress Begins in the Brain
Self-esteem and stress are more connected than most people realize...and understanding how the brain works is what makes the difference between "trying to feel better" and actually building a new pattern.
Drawing on popular neuroscience...how the brain forms habits, assigns meaning, and repeats patterns through repetition...combined with more than 35 years of real-world teaching experience, you'll learn...
- How the brain forms the automatic thought patterns behind self-doubt and stress
- Why two people can face the same situation and respond completely differently
- Why certain situations trigger strong emotional reactions
- How repetition and practice can help build new, steadier thinking patterns over time
- How to approach difficult moments with more clarity and less reactivity
Stress isn't created by situations alone.
It's created by the meaning the brain gives those situations.
Here's the core message...stress isn't created by situations alone...it's shaped by the meaning we've learned to give those situations.
That's why two people can face the exact same circumstance...,
and one feels stressed while the other doesn't.
The situation may be the same.
The meaning is not.
Once you see that connection...you can start practicing new patterns...the same way you'd build any other skill.
What Makes Stop The Stress™ Different
There are many books and programs about self-esteem.
Most describe what healthy self-esteem looks like...confidence, resilience, self-compassion...without explaining how those patterns actually form in the brain in the first place.
Stop The Stress™ starts from the mechanism...
- Workload
- Deadlines
- Customers
- Schedules
Those daily pressures are triggers, not the deeper pattern.
What tends to keep people stuck...in my decades of teaching this material...are learned patterns like...
Neuroscience shows that chronic stress is often fueled by perceived threats...
- Habitually scanning for judgment or rejection
- Tying self-worth to outside approval and performance
- Long-practiced "not enough" thinking...repeated until it feels automatic
Stop The Stress™ teaches you to recognize these patterns and practice new ones…building steadiness and a sense of self-worth that comes from within... rather than from constant outside validation.
Like any skill, it's built through understanding and repetition, not willpower alone.
That's why Stop The Stress™ addresses the whole person by strengthening—
- Brain wiring
- Emotional steadiness
- Internal pressure patterns
- A healthier sense of self that isn't dependent on constant performance or external validation
When these shift—stress loses its fuel.

What Experts and Everyday People Have Said
Over the years, I've been grateful to receive encouragement from internationally recognized authors, respected professionals, business leaders, and everyday people whose lives have been changed by these principles.
Here are a few of their words.
"Focus One offers practical and sensible guidelines for those who seek freedom from all types of addictions."
---Deepak Chopra, M.D. Author of Ageless Body Timeless Mind;
Quantum Healing and Super Brain
"Patricia Noll has developed a program that focuses powerfully on the physical, psychological, and spiritual aspects of addiction. Her insights are perfectly on target, and flow from her own experience."
---Larry Dossey, M.D. Author of Meaning and Medicine Recovering the Soul; Beyond Illness; and Space,
Time and Medicine
"Focus One is one of the few comprehensive programs for living wisely, incorporating the principles of recovery, spiritual practice, diet and good health, deep psychological understanding, and much more....."
---Jack Kornfield, Ph.D. Author of Seeking the Heart of Wisdom; Meditation for Beginners; and Soul Food: Stories to Nourish the Spirit and the Heart
I continually receive unsolicited testimonials that reference workplace experiences. Take a look...
I have been successful, but I am finally happy...
This message should be on a national stage...
Dr. Noll has started a movement that teaches people a simple approach to being happy from the inside out, and how that can create wellness from within.
I have been successful, but I am finally happy...

Thank you for saving my life
Thank you for saving my life and guiding me in a better direction than I was headed in.
Keep bringing good and hope into this world so others can see their true value in life and who they can become.
Bret cochran - Substance Abuse Recovery Technician
Jeremy Reeves

"Thank you for teaching me how to build esteem and not be other dependent... I finally realized it's possible to be good with me."
Simone Yager
GWM Community Leader in Training
St. Petersburg, FL
"To hear the people around me tell me and see the change in me is the most amazing gift,,, I continue to pass it on."
Keesha Graham
GWM Community Leader/School Teacher
St. Petersburg, FL
" Patricia Noll has given me the tools to mentor others... I really do feel good with me... I understand that I have value simply because I exist."
And Courtney D. who asks...
"Why aren't people taught the things you teach earlier on in life for everybody like in 5th grade or something?
I believe if this did take place earlier on in life most people wouldn't have the problems that they deal with and not know how to cope with it.
And they wouldn't let themselves self-destruct."
I still embrace your teachings...and life is good!
...got to thinking about you and Focus 1, especially the "What I am feeling now is exactly what I choose to be feeling" and how self-esteem is the greatest problem in the world today (paraphrasing you).
Thank you for all your help when I was in early sobriety and counseling. I still embrace your teachings and strive to continue to "keep on keeping on" learning more.
I celebrated 22 years 11/16! I also retired from flying in 2021 at 65 years of age and life is good!—Retired Airline Pilot
