Stress Anxiety

Do You Feel Like You're Not In Control?

Do you feel like you're the only one doing anything productive and no one appreciates it? Do you try your hardest, and still things don't go right? Do you just get so far in your life, and then there's a block? Do you think that you aren't lovable, responsible, attractive? . . .

My goodness, that's quite a load to carry around all the time.

But you know what? YOU are carrying the load, and YOU can put it down.

Take charge. Decide to make something of your life.

Start a new routine. One that you remember and that you can draw on. Every day take fifteen minutes, three times a day, and give this time to yourself. Relax and enjoy the solitude. Talk to your body. Start at the top of your head and work your way down to you fingertips and your toes. Explain that you are relaxing now, and you would like every part of your body to relax with you. Explain to your brain that you want your body to be relaxed, but you want your brain to be alert. *If your brain goes to sleep, this time will not accomplish anything.* You want your brain to pay attention to what your mind is saying to it, and it will if your body is relaxed and your conscious mind is relaxed enough to let it.

Sidebar *** The best time to do your fifteen minutes of relaxation is just after you wake up. Anther good time is fifteen minutes before you go to sleep. Make sure it is just before you go to sleep, not before you go to bed. Then pick a time in mid afternoon, where you can get comfortable. ***

Another sidebar *** Keep the schedule by your side. You might want to write down this schedule I am going to guide you to, so you don't finish a session and say to yourself *Oh, I forgot what it is I had planned to program into my brain!* Also, keep a journal of what you have accomplished and how you feel, after about three weeks you will feel a shift as your life starts to change. ***

Here is the schedule:
(By the time Day five gets here, you will have a better understanding of how this visualization helps you, and you'll be able to make out your own schedule.)

Day number one, all three sessions. Use this time to learn the process. Talk to your body as I mentioned above and watch as it responds and relaxes.

Day number two, all three sessions. Use this time to learn the process. Talk to your body as I mentioned above and watch as it responds and relaxes. You really are in control.

Day number three, all three sessions. Spend about ten minutes doing the process, then the last five minutes saying affirmations.

Examples of affirmations can be found at http://www.tameyourbrain.com/goodthoughts.htm
Say things you like to hear and things that make you feel great!

Day number four, all three sessions. Spend about five minutes doing the process, the next five minutes saying your affirmations, then the last five minutes thinking about the goals you want to achieve. Talk as though you have it already, because whatever you say is the direction your brain will go. If you say "I wish I had all my bills paid" that is where your brain will go -- to the lack indicated. Instead, say something like "This is how it feels when I pay all my bills." Practice feeling that way. "This is how it feels when my relationship is perfect." Practice feeling that way. "This is how it feels to be financially free." Practice feeling that way. "This is how it feels when I have my new job." Practice feeling that way. Think of all the things you want, and practice feeling that way.

Day number five, all three sessions. Spend about five minutes doing the process, the next five minutes saying your affirmations, then the last five minutes thinking about the goal you want to achieve. In other words, pick three goals and concentrate on one in the morning, one mid day, and one that evening.

Now, when you look at that schedule, on the fifth day you will realize what it is all about and how this has affected you. Change things around to keep it interesting for you. Also, things may not work out for the best for you with this timing. You might work a late shift or whatever. Therefore, you may have to be creative as to the best time for you. Just make sure you do it.

There may be days when you can't do fifteen minutes, on those days do ten minutes. IF you can't do ten do five. If you can't do it three times a day, do two. If you can't do two that day, do one. Do not give up. Spend whatever time you can, whenever you can, until you can get back on schedule.

Thanks for reading,
Jan
