The Problem with Stress Management Training………..
You know you need it, but there is always a reason (or justification) to enable you to “wait till things settle down” to begin to learn how to manage your stress.
So many people, who desperately NEED help, are simply in denial.
“I don’t have time.” “I can’t afford classes.” “I just can’t!”
Don’t be one of those folks who begin to seek help and then just put it off until another day. Don’t wind up having a heart attack. It happens more often than you think, with stress that is not managed, a huge factor in causing the problem.
Heart disease kills more people in the USA than any other stress related disease or medical issue. Cancer is next in the line of our biggest killers. Many scientists and medical practitioners are now admitting that there is high probability that stress has been the initiator of many of these fatalities.

“Coronary heart disease is also much more common in individuals subjected to chronic stress and recent research has focused on how to identify and prevent this growing problem, particularly with respect to job stress. In many instances, we create our own stress that contributes to coronary disease by smoking and other faulty lifestyles or because of dangerous traits like excess anger, hostility, aggressiveness, time urgency, inappropriate competitiveness and preoccupation with work.”

It is time for you to begin to manage your stress. This day is yours – CREATE a beautiful one for yourself and those around you.
Quick Tips
THINK before you speak. Take a breath and it will spark your intellect, RELAX and regenerate you, simultaneously.
Remember words are sharper than any knife and they pierce the heart. Once you speak them you cannot erase them in the mind of the person to whom you were speaking. Do not allow yourself to respond negatively for it will simply increase the stress already present.
Take THIS opportunity to tell someone you love or appreciate him or her. The feeling YOU get when you pass love or a positive thought to someone will help dissipate your negative thoughts. You will also find a positive response to you can elevate your peace.
Make these moments of value and the worth of your actions will ultimately come back to benefit you! It always works… The things you think, and the way you breathe!
The things that you think within, words you speak, and the quality of your oxygen will ultimately become your life and health. YOU ARE IN CHARGE OF WHERE YOU GO FROM HERE.
Breathe and think positively. Teach your brain to create those “cell impressions” from which you can empower yourself simply through your thoughts. Ultimately, if you are consistent, your body physiology will be changed for the good.
Put aside any doubt and release any tendency to “make things work out” or to force an outcome. Open your thoughts and your life to the source of all intelligence and let go of worry.
Worry changes nothing for the better. The only thing worry does is increase in increments and cause more worry, more problems, and more stress. Worry affects us physically in a negative manner and it changes nothing!
Spend time on thoughts that are positive and quality and you will draw those things positive to you. Be mindful of your oxygen intake, and as you exhale send all those negative thoughts into oblivion.
If you think I may be repeating some things simply phrased a bit differently – I am! Repetition is the key to learning. Once you have created these new brain cell impressions your “new way of thinking and speaking” will become second nature.
What is the past is the past. The future is but a “hope for the best”. The moments you have are now. Make them of value to you and those in the circle of your life. You are in charge.
If you want – really want – to change your life, take that yoga class you’ve thought of joining. Join a group to help one another. Buy stress management tapes and CD’s. Go to a therapist! Get more help on line. Be the master of your future and get help now!
Now take a deep and mindful breath and visualize wonderful oxygen regenerating you and relaxing you. When you exhale visualize all the negativity and unresolved worries fly from your fingertips into oblivion.
