Relief of Stress, Please!

I Need Relief of Stress, NOW!

I feel it in my entire body.  I know I want to feel better.  It’s easy to know that.  But I have no idea how to get the relief of stress I want!  I am at a loss!

So What Do We Do, When We Don’t Know What to Do?

We have all heard things like:  Keep an attitude positive.  Have motivation and gratitude.  Use affirmations.  Be positive.

Blah, blah, blah, blah.  When I am miserable, all those sayings and quotes are useless.  They do not answer my question. How to I feel better?  How to I get relief from the stress?

If you are really ready for some answers, then read on!

1)  Focus on Your Breath.

I force myself, as gently and kindly as possible, to slow down.  This intuitive process of feeling better will not come to me from a pressured mindset.  So I look to find,,, induce….. create….. as much of a natural calm as I can.  In a way, I am looking for some instant hypnosis.

The easiest way I have found to get my natural calm, or instant hypnosis, is to focus on my breath.  I, deliberately, focus on the in-and-out of my breath, for about 20 seconds. Without working at it, this naturally induces a feeling of ease.

I first learned this as a marathoner, running races.  One of my coaches taught me to take deep breaths when I was overworking in a race.  It was to help me get more oxygen, and to help my body relax, without having to stop running.

Try it some time.  You will see what I mean.

2) Observe your Emotions.

As I am focusing on my breath, I nonchalantly observe my emotions.  I do not analyze, interpret, or fix anything.  I am simply observing.

This is actually a profound way of being with ourselves.  We often overlook it.  We get so busy thinking about what to do, and problem solving, that we miss these crucial, easy steps.  And, this is how we will begin to receive answers.

3)  Get Clear on Your NO.

What I mean by this is, I let myself unravel, as clearly as possible, what I do not want.  I do not want to go to that function……  I do not want to go to work today and deal with my boss……  I do not want to go shopping with my spouse……  I do not want to spend my money on that gadget.  I do not want to clean up that mess…….  Whatever!

This is a crucial step.  Get clear on what you don’t want.  Get clear on what is upsetting you.

4) Get Clear on Your YES.

Now you must begin to think about what you want.  What outcome you want.  What goal you want.  What emotion you want to feel!  How it will feel as you get what you want.

All this breathing, observing, and noticing what you don’t want, will make it easier to begin to know what you do want. Remember, you do not know how to get it, yet.  However, you have turned the crucial corner.

You have stopped focusing on what you don’t want.  The Law of Attraction-Secret dictates that we ge what we are focused on with emotion.  So as long as you are focused on what you don’t want, you are going to get more of it.

5) Imagine Receiving Your YES.

Now it is time to allow in your authentic happiness.

This is the real work of having a great life.  You must imagine, before it arrives, and before you know how it will come, what it will be like to receive your YES.  This is also crucial to mastering The Law of Attraction-Secret.  Now you are a magnet for the answers to come to you.  As long as you are focused on the YES, and in this positive mind set, you are in the necessary place to receive the answers to your questions.

You now watch carefully for the clues that will come.  The clues will absolutely come.  As long as you focus on receiving them, you will get them.  The easiest, quickest way to receive the true essence of what you want, will become clear to you.  If you slip up and resume problem solving, you will feel stress again, and no longer receive the clues.

By the way, Emotional Freedom-EFT can help make this entire process even easier.

This is the art of mastering a great life!  Try it today.  Let me know how it goes!

Emotional Freedom - EFT!

Emotional Freedom-EFT

I was showing Emotional Freedom-EFT to someone in my counseling service last week.  It was the first time he had ever tried it.

It was thrilling to watch.

This suffering, sad, anxious, guy had been feeling terrible for months.  Stress was all he could feel.

Relief of Stress

I knew he deserved relief of stress.  Yes, he needed it bad!  Plus he was so upset, he had lost all perspective.

So, we started tapping through the easy EFT spots.  It was visible, immediately, that it was helping him.

The relief of stress lifted from his face.  He sat more upright.  He began to have a brightness to his eyes.

Motivation and Gratitude

He also began to think more clearly.  Naturally he began to experience feelings of motivation and gratitude.  It was like watching a miracle before my very eyes.  It was awesome.

This kind of healing-holistic moment is why I do what I do.  Being a therapist, counselor, means I can facilitate people back to their own well being and health.  What an amazing thing to share with someone.

I imagine that this client of mine will continue to have issues to resolve.  But he has learned  amazing, easy tools, that he can use any time he wants.  Sometimes we get very involved in our stress, and cause of it.  We lose focus. we delve into the stress and tension to problem solve.

We forget, that relief of stress is what we are craving.  When we feel better we will be able to receive better guidance to the answers.  Problem solving is not the same as receiving answers.

I want answers, and I want them easily.  So I focus on high relief from the problem.  And I invite in well being and health.

It was a joy to watch my client arrive there so smoothly.

Great job!

Relief of Stress

11/16/09  Is relief of stress in site?

Today. somehow, miraculously, I am beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel.  I feel my excitement returning.  I was beginning to really give up.

What brought on the relief of stress? Perhaps it was the Emotional Freedom -EFT I was doing this afternoon.

I was driving in my car and doing the Emotional Freedom -EFT, I know that sounds bizarre.  But EFT is so easy to do, I squeak it in everywhere and anywhere.   Anyway, as I was doing some EFT in the car, and thinking about my website drama.  After a bit of EFT tapping, I began to feel a sense of relief of stress.  Yeah for me!

The truth is, I don’t care how I get well being and health.

I only care that I get it!

Right now I am enjoying a new perspective.  The old web sites that I built, payed lots of money for, and trashed, seem far, far away.  All the hours spent, and the disappointment, now seem like a long time ago.

I am now remembering a wonderful thing, that perhaps I had forgotten, but now remember again.   And that is:  You can’t make yourself know, what you do not yet know.  We just don’t know ahead of time.  We live and we learn. So if I don’t know the answers yet, about this website, I cannot force myself to know.

But an important question to ask is how can we learn what we need to learn?  Because I sure want to know what my part is, in this website debacle.  And I sure do want to learn it fast.

The way to receive answers, is clear.  We pay attention to our guidance, and we ALL receive guidance.  Guidance does not come from our thoughts.  Guidance does come from our emotions, our feelings, our gut instincts, and our intuition.

And guidance is pretty simple.  If something feels good, it means yes.  You are on target.  If something feels bad, it means no.  Do or say nothing until you get relief.  How you get relief is up to you because no two people are the same.  And to toot my own  horn, I really do teach some really wonderful methods in my counseling service.

So now that I feel some relief of the stress I was experiencing, I realize I am enjoying a different perspective.  I am now beginning to see the light at the end of this tunnel. Things don’t seem so glum or so serious.

Yeah for me again!

And while this web site is not done yet, or perfected, neither am I.  And the best part of this web site project is yet to come.  And so it is with me as well.
