Stress Management In A Few Short Minutes

Where do you get your stress? Family? Work? Money? Yourself? All of the above?nnIs the bulk of your stress because of current situations in your life or is it based off of previous events in your life? It's likely you understand what I mean by this, and the answer is sometimes hard to find.nnYou are aware that managing and reducing stress can prevent lots of problems. Problems with health, sleep, poor diet potential addiction, and more. Stopping these problems before they start is just smart.nnI know you wouldn't choose to have problems with your blood pressure, heart, or trouble sleeping. But, ignoring your stress is very close to doing just that.nnMany people with high stress look to avoid the discomfort by looking for things to make them feel "better". If you're hot, you want to be cool, if you're cold, you want to be warm. When feeling stress, you might look for short term relief like watching TV, movies, prescription medications, cigarette smoking, eating, and other addictions.nnPeople tend to believe traditional talk therapy and medications are the only alternatives, and try to avoid that. If you knew there was a reliable and medically tested method to relieve stress, would you consider it?nnYes, you would, if it really worked. nnLike most people, you have probably watched TV or a movie to help you relax. Does it help? Yeah. It gives you a distraction. Something else to focus on and think about, right? But there really isn't much "thinking" going on... it just indirectly creates a more quiet state of mind - for a while. nnMany people go through great lengths and complicated processes to achieve this state of mind. Creative visualization, meditation, yoga, deep prayer, etc...nnAll ways to create the mental state technically known as hypnosis. Very little practice will let anyone easily and quickly achieve this nice state of mind. The same state you sometimes get while reading a book or talking on the phone.nnHypnosis is a state of mind everyone goes into several times a day. Hypnotizing yourself, on purpose, is so easy to do and is so beneficial to your stress and health in general. nnI'm a hypnotist, so what do you expect me to say, right? The National Library of Medicine has a site, ww.pubmed.gov where you can search for medical studies on hypnosis and stress. Please remember, these are trained doctors doing hypnosis, not trained hypnotists. The results can be even better than they find.nnYour stress can be reduced by at least half in less than 10 minutes. I've checked this myself with my relaxation audio on over 45 people rating their stress on a scale of 1 to 10 before and again after the audio. Only one person had a reduction of less than 50%. But, was still happy with reducing 30%nnGetting help from a well trained and reputable hypnotist or using a quality hypnosis audio at home to relieve stress is a wonderful choice. Hypnosis can more reliably help your stress, and hypnosis has no side-effects.nnPlease note: Hypnosis has been approved by the American Medical Association since 1958, But, it does not replace traditional medicine.
