STOP THE STRESS™
Designed to help sole proprietors enjoy their 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 know the satisfaction that comes from helping people, serving customers, and watching your business grow.
I also know what it's feels like to carry the weight of every decision.
When you're the owner...
You're the manager.
The customer service department.
The marketing department.
The problem solver.
The decision maker.
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 Your Life Without Unnecessary Daily Stress
Imagine waking up looking forward to your workday instead of already feeling behind.
Imagine making decisions with a clear, calm mind instead of reacting to every unexpected situation.
Imagine ending your workday with energy still left for your family, your friends, your hobbies, and the things you enjoy most.
Imagine enjoying your business again instead of simply getting through another day.
Imagine sleeping peacefully because work no longer follows you home in your thoughts.
Imagine feeling confident without believing you have to prove your worth by staying busy, exhausted, or stressed.
Imagine accomplishing more because your brain is no longer operating in survival mode.
Imagine discovering that you can care deeply about your work without carrying unnecessary stress every day.
This isn't wishful thinking.
It's what becomes possible when you understand how your brain creates unnecessary 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.
Knowledge is Freedom.
One of the people who understood this well was Steve.
When I first met Steve and his wife Julie—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—Steve 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.
Steve and Julie 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.
Steve became an independent Realtor.
Julie devoted her time to caring for her aging mother.
Today, Steve 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.
Steve's story reminds us 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.
Recent studies show that many independent business owners quietly carry far more stress 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.
They simply don't explain why stress keeps returning.
Stop The Stress™ begins somewhere different.
It helps you understand why stress happens in the first place.
Why Stress Begins in the Brain
Using neuroscience, neuroplasticity, and more than 35 years of real-life experience, you'll discover—
• Why stress begins in the brain
• Why two people can experience the same situation and respond completely differently
• Why certain situations trigger strong emotional reactions
• How to change the thinking patterns that fuel unnecessary stress
• How to remain emotionally steady and make clearer decisions—even during difficult situations
Stress isn't created by situations alone.
It's created by the meaning the brain gives those situations.
That's why two people can experience the exact same situation...
One becomes stressed.
The other doesn't.
The situation may be the same.
The meaning is not.
What Makes Stop The Stress™ Different
Performance pressure is not caused primarily by—
- Workload
- Deadlines
- Customers
- Schedules
Those are triggers—not causes.
Neuroscience shows that chronic stress is often fueled by—
- Perceived threat
- Fear of judgment or rejection
- External pressure tied to self-worth
- Long-standing brain conditioning around “being enough”
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.

About Dr. Patricia Noll
For more than 35 years, Dr. Patricia Noll has helped individuals overcome stress, addiction, self-doubt, and emotional challenges by addressing root causes rather than symptoms.
In 1989, she founded the Focus One™ Outpatient Treatment Program, a pioneering approach to behavioral change and recovery.
After more than three decades of counseling and helping people create lasting change, Dr. Noll founded Good With Me™ to reach people earlier—before stress, self-doubt, and unhealthy thinking patterns begin taking such a heavy toll on their lives.
Her work later evolved into Good With Me™, a movement dedicated to helping people recognize their inherent value and build lives rooted in Self-Dependent Esteem rather than external validation.

- and others
Today, those same principles continue to help individuals, workplaces, and communities create calmer, healthier, and more fulfilling lives.
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.

"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
Community Recognition
The Good With Me™ movement has also been recognized by the communities it serves.
The City of St. Petersburg officially proclaimed Good With Me Day and partnered in presenting the Good With Me Festival in one of the city's parks.
The city also helped promote the event with billboard advertising throughout the community, helping introduce the Good With Me message to thousands of people.
Today, those same principles continue to guide Good With Me™, the Good With Me Foundation, and Stop The Stress™ as they help individuals, workplaces, and communities create healthier, happier lives.
