Instant Stress Relief: Top Seven Reasons To Practice Instant Stress Relief

Instant stress relief is one of the most empowering techniques you can use to eliminate stress the moment you find yourself in a stress-inducing situation. It’s amazing that more people don’t do it.

Here are the top seven benefits of using instant stress relief.

1.Preserve your health and well being. Stress impacts your physical and emotional health. Stress factors into seven of the top ten leading causes of death and is responsible for billions of dollars of missed work every year.

Stress makes people sick, unhappy and unproductive.

2. Whatever you focus on expands. When you focus on the stressor it looms as a giant, growing bigger, in your world. Soon all you will see is the problem, which blocks any possibility of seeing – or even looking for or thinking about – solutions.

You will quickly run what-if scenarios in your head that leave you feeling even more stressed.

3.You will avoid pulling out past memories of times you experienced negative results in what appear to be similar situation, dwelling on them and projecting them into your future as scenarios to fear.

Your imagination, not being able to tell the difference between what you really experience and your fantasies, causes you to live – on a physical and emotional level, the scenes you create. Those experiences take toll on your well being.

4. Stay in control of your emotions. Think with your emotions rather than allow your emotions to think for you. When you allow your emotions to take control you lose your reason and logic skills.

5. YOU continue accurate thinking. Stress can put you into your emotions leading to either positive or negative thinking. Neither serves you. Only accurate thinking, recognizing your interpretations of events, really works for your well being and happiness.

6. You look for solutions rather than not focus on the problem or the stressor. You will never solve a problem by focusing on the issue, by blaming someone for what happened or by wondering how it happened.

You can only move forward by looking for solutions.

7. Stress wastes energy, time and well being.  It creates a problem where none exists by taking you away from the present moment.

When you stay in the now you take action. You can only act in the present moment.
Struggle only exists in the future. By living in the present moment you handle the situation so it never looms as an insurmountable issue.

Either you take action now or you live in the stress of what might happen.

Reduce Stress By Knowing Your Life’s Direction And How To Measure Your Progress

To reach your desired destination in life you need to know where you want to wind up AND you need to know your starting point. The drive to Manhattan follows a different route if you start out in Texas than if you start out in Idaho, right?

Planning your life is like planning a fun trip. The big difference is that most people spend lots of time and energy figuring out their vacation trip but no time planning their life’s journey.

Interesting, huh? Of course you would not be reading this article right now if you fell into that category of people who fail to plan for living their Very Excellent Life.

Okay, so you know your dream life style, right? If you don’t then start there. Make the time to write about how you want to live, what you want to have, where you want to be and what you want to be doing when you live your dream life.

Fill in as much detail as possible AND leave room for the Universe to fill in even greater detail so you do not limit what you can be, do and have.

Done? Great. Now move to the next step.

Look at your life. Write down your current situation in each of these areas: physical health, emotional health, relationships, money matters, spirituality, fun and recreation, self image, living in the now.

Next, on a scale of 1-10 with 1 being ”I need lots of help to reach my dream goal in that area” and 10 being “I am right there at a ten now,” assign a number to each life area based upon your description of your current circumstances.

Take your time making this assessment. The more accurately you pin point your current situation the easier you will find marking your progress toward your goal.

Realize that nothing is ever set in stone. As you gain life experience and move along your path to your Very Excellent Life you may find new directions and set new goals for yourself. In fact is you may alter your definition of your Very Excellent Life significantly, That is okay. When and if that happens for you then you will make adjustments. Right now your job is simply to note where you are today.

You will notice narrow gaps in some areas between your current and desired states. In other areas your gaps may be huge. The size of the gap makes no difference. You can close all of them. Only you will do so by working in only one area at a time.

Stress and Healing

The healing process can be very stressful—following either an emotional, physical or spiritual injury. And it can happen in a matter of minutes rather than years.

I was talking with a spiritual counselor today about the healing process. She was saying how things take time. She works in the paradigm that people get better as they can handle their issues that come up.

Hmm. That means the ego mind is in charge! Talk about a slow healing process!

She also said she knows how to help someone if they go into shock while working with her.

Shock! What the heck?

I work in a very different paradigm.

For one thing, an injury happens in a matter of seconds to minutes. Why wouldn’t you be able to heal it in a matter of seconds to minutes?

If your system creates the emotional piece quickly then it can create a totally different emotional piece equally quickly, yes? Only no one teaches that fact.

Instead, aligning with the default manner of thinking negatively as the defined reality, the thought form states that injuries heal slowly. Hence you hear platitudes like, “Time heals all wounds.”

Is that really how you want to live your life? Not me, thank you very much. And not my clients either.

You get what you expect and, more importantly in this case, what you accept as part of your reality. What I accept is that as Divine Beings (pure energy) living human experiences people can heal by instantly unblocking the energy points that became blocked during the crisis (along with the entire history of blocks that combined to cause the vulnerability to injury).

When I recovered from the Post Traumatic Stress Disorder caused by a physical attack that left me disabled with a brain injury in less than twenty minutes everyone in my energy psychology class accepted that reality as fact. No one was surprised – not really.

Yet when I told the therapists with whom I had previously worked (and found no relief from that condition) they said it was impossible.

I found it so interesting that I healed through energy work that (as I described above) cleared blocks caused by the emotional trauma almost as quickly as the injury happened. Yet not one medical person on my team of mainstream doctors and therapists believed me.

They could see I was better but could not and would not comprehend that I healed for a reason and no miracle had occurred! (The doctor in charge of my case actually wrote, in my medical char, mind you, that my healing was a miracle.)

Talk about what you accept in your reality!

You can continue to wait for time to heal you from the countless stresses that rob your energy and quality of life. Or you can switch paradigms and heal in a matter of minutes.

Phew! I prefer the stress-less route myself.

Relationship Stress in Women Over Forty

Women over forty often have a surprisingly different view of relationships than they did at younger ages. And that view differs drastically from that of men – which you might expect.

Polls show that nearly half of women over forty have no desire to get into another serious committed relationship like marriage after leaving a long time marriage. They actually feel content to be independent and just meet with or go out with guys when they feel like it.

After taking care of others all their lives women often look forward to having no responsibilities toward anyone but themselves. Ah! Freedom rings loud and clear – finally.

Interestingly, younger women, not having had all those years of experience and pressure as caretaker and compromiser, often wonder why their older friend has no interest in dating.

The fact is most women, at least in my experience, say that (after leaving an unhappy marriage) they have no interest in even looking for another guy. If one comes along they may be interested, they say, but go out purposely and spend time and energy looking to date? No thank you!

I offer another piece of wisdom on behalf of more mature women (is that euphemism or what?). You attract who you are, right? After leaving a marriage that possibly lasted most of her life, a women in her forties may realize she is not living her purpose or fulfilling her own desires – because she never had time to determine what either is for her.

First you need to decide who you want to be in life. Or you can work backwards and choose what you want to have. Then determine what you need to be able to do so you can have that result. Finally you need to figure out what kind of person takes those necessary actions.

So before going out looking for a man, I advise you to know who you are or, at least know who you want to be and then become that person. Because you will attract someone at your current level of vibration and experience make certain you love you exactly as you are and are living life as you want to first.

That way when you put out your request to meet your guy you will attract someone you actually do want in your life.

That step is critical. I didn’t know about it after my divorce so I wound up dating some guys who were very nice but hey—not anyone I had any interest in at all.

I am so clear that I am still becoming and not where I want to be in my own life yet. So I am not making any great effort to meet anyone and crate a relationship. I enjoy being on my own so much I am not sure if I will ever want to compromise how I live again.

Live Without Stress: 5 Tips To Live Without Stress

Everyone wants to know how to live without stress—everyone. Life is such a hustle bustle these days, anything you can do to eliminate even a little stress adds to your enjoyment of life. These five tips will get you there.

1. Define exactly what living without stress means to you. You may first have to think about how you feel when you know you are stressed and then write down the opposite – how you wish you felt instead. Describe how your world and each situation looks without stress in it.

Take time to look all across your life – both personal and professional. After all stress  rears its head pretty much any where at any time – when you allow it to do so.

When you actually live stress-free what do you do? How do you spend your day? How do you relax and enjoy life? How is your health? Get it all down.

2. Take each area of your life, one by one. List three steps you can take, starting today, to move yourself from the stress level you currently experience to the new you described in detail in step one.

If you feel stuck and can only think of one right now then write down the one and come back to it. Your subconscious will work on that step while you move ahead.

Oh yes, it is okay (in fact encouraged) to list more than three action steps.

3. Now ask the Universe to assist you in removing stress from each situation. Put out your desire to live stress-free in each situation and then, after you make that request end each one with the words, “This or something better.”

You see the Universe does the how that fulfils on your what. If you tell the Universe your how to do it and how to make it look you limit what the Universe can deliver to you. You may be asking for what the Universe knows to be good. Ah, but the Universe, God, Creator, may know something better it can deliver to you.

4. After making your request and noting the ”something  better” line then let go of your request and go about your day. You see, once you ask for something you change. You become a different person who acts differently.

No, you don’t look any different. Just know the person who lived in stress is not the same person who requested an end to the stress. Make sense?

The moment you made the request it manifested  for you. The Universe will deliver it to you as soon as your vibration level is in harmony with your request AND it is in your highest and best interest.

5. Focus on living stress-free. You speed up the manifesting by pretending you already live that way.

Make the choices and interpretation a person who lives without stress makes. Think the thoughts a stress-free person makes. The new you can do so. It just takes living consciously in the now.
