Stress & How to Deal With It.
I seem to have double the amount of clients coming to me for stress issues lately. And many of my friends have told me that they are also suffering from stress symptoms like anxiety, an increase in blood pressure or anger.
Aside from their personal issues, I think they’re also affected by current political events. So am I. What will happen next? Who will become the next target? I’m scared. Maybe you’re scared too. I can’t bare to watch TV, yet I do. I can’t seem to help myself. I get drawn in to see what outrageous thing is happening.
Almost every client I’m seeing right now has some form of stress. One client is a biker (not the motorcycle kind) who gets pumped up with adrenaline when he ascends some steep stretches on the side of a mountain – and his stress intensifies when he’s going downhill.
Another client can’t sleep well because of her stress and a third has high blood pressure which I’m helping her manage with Hypnosis.
What I’ve discovered – which I’m now going to share with you – is that most people who have stress issues have never learned how to relax.
Could this be you. too?
Here’s a quick and easy tool to use as soon as you’re aware that you’re stressed.
Best to sit in a quiet and peaceful place. But if needed, you might also do this while driving your car, watching TV or actually – at any time at all. I use this tool myself and it works like a charm for me as well as for my clients.
First, take a deep breath and hold it for about ten seconds. Then, on the exhale, think these words or say them out loud (if appropriate). Do this three or four times. The key to making this little exercise work is to take your time. Breathe in deeply… get a nice, easy rhythm going… and as you exhale, think:
“Peace, Harmony, Relax, Relax.”
“Peace, Harmony, Relax, Relax.”
“Peace, Harmony, Relax, Relax.”
“Peace, Harmony, Relax, Relax.”
You’ll find that at the end of this simple exercise, the feeling of stress will either be greatly diminished or will disappear completely. Then repeat as often as needed.
Sometimes the simplest things have the most power. I would love to hear from you and find out if this exercise helps that feeling of stress you might have right now. http://www.jscotthypnosis.com
