WELL, DON’T. You don’t really know what’s next. You need not fear or dread what’s to come. Take charge of your response to life, whatever happens.
Pain / Stress / Forgiveness = closely related feelings. Both physical and mental pain are intrinsic, contained wholly within the human intellect and spiritual nature. You all have more within you, powers yet untapped or realized.
Humans gifts often go to the grave with people not using their gifts or even recognizing them simply because the world has told them they aren’t up to the job. You are up to it! You have to FIND, and DRAW, from that power within; the untapped reservoir of all the characteristics and strength you dreamed you would have. Perhaps someone told you that you would fail or that you had no hope to accomplish anything in this lifetime. They were wrong and you know it innately.
Dealing with words wrongly spoken is a huge stress to handle. So if it’s happened to you, just draw in a slow breath, wait a few seconds, and exhale fully through the mouth.
(In case you don’t know how to breathe for YOUR benefit, here it is – short and sweet – and life enhancing any time you choose to use it!)
“ Deep Breathing is the simplest and most important form of stress reduction. Most people breathe only from their upper diaphragm. This is not the way we were intended to breathe. We are particularly prone to breathe incorrectly when stressed, by taking quick and shallow breaths. The exaggerated form of this is hyperventilating, which some people do when experiencing an anxiety or panic attack. The proper way to breathe is to inhale deeply from the abdomen. You should be able to feel your lungs fill up with air as you inhale. If you do not breathe from the solar plexus, you are not getting enough oxygen. You may think that it looks better to hold your stomach in but you are losing out on vital oxygenation of the body. Deep breathing is a very quick way to release tension, particularly noticeable in the neck, shoulders and head (headache).
Stand any place and inhale deeply so that you feel the air expand in the lower part of your abdomen and your stomach extend out. Hold the breath as long as it is comfortable and then exhale slowly…”

Pain is a unique experience. Pain can put a halt to any activity your may want to do. It can stop you from every dream in your life. If you can’t play, walk, move, sleep soundly, or think and concentrate, you are being robbed of your life. It’s time to change things around!
Pain that you “think you can’t make go away” can, overcome you, and can change the way you feel about yourself and others. It can destroy relationships and lives. The secret to managing your pain is first to unleash all the anger you have for so many things. You have suffered enough. You have been mad at others and circumstances long enough! Don’t dwell on the past ONE MORE MOMENT!
As you inhale think: I am empowered
As you exhale think: I forgive others and myself
As you inhale think: I am wonderful and can make things better
As you exhale think: No more negativity. No more useless anger
As long as you are alive you have the capacity to change. “Why should I change?”, you may ask. If you are able to manage your stress, happy, love your life and yourself, no need to change. Otherwise, think about it.
A person’s description of pain — where it is, when it starts, what helps to relieve it — are key to understanding pain. Only the person with pain knows exactly what it is like, whether mental or physical.
That is exactly why ONLY YOU can figure out where you go from here. Let go of the need to control and stress will drift from you like the wave retreating into the fold of the ocean.
Make sure you get a good night’s sleep. Set the stage and when you first are laying down, breath again, with thoughts than enhance you, and enfold you into a sweet slumber. When you are well-rested, you have more energy to get well, to enjoy life, and to do the things that are important to you
Get started now. Breathe. Let go of anger and sorrow. Forgive others errors. Forgive yourself. These are major steps towards learning to manage your stress and live a more wonderful and peaceful life.
Seek other help for stress if need be, once you get started with these simple exercises of intellect. Try yoga. Walk with a friend. Sign up for classes or other online help. CREATE YOUR LIFE!
