Many of us feel powerless over the stressors in our lives. We think we have no control over whether or not we are stressed. In fact, some of us will indignantly defend our stress by saying things like “How dare you tell me this stress is MY fault, you have no idea how terrible my (job, boss, husband, dog, son, daughter, etc.) is.”
I’m here to say that you always have a choice on whether or not to allow stress in your life. At the very least, you can monitor the intensity of it. If you don’t believe me, read the blog I wrote recently about two people who used their mind to control stress even though one was in a Nazi death camp and the other was beaten and tourtured by his mother for 12 years.
I believe that we all have an inner emotional thermostat that we can control. We can increase and decrease the intensity of our emotional reactions by choosing “Cool thoughts” for example. After repetition, the “cool thoughts” become the new habit and suddenly the person who’s life was anxiety-ridden and chaotic is now calm and peaceful, enjoying the journey. Even the friends and relatives notice a difference but in reality (according to the eyes that see) nothing is different.
These ideas are not new. Nor are they based entirely upon my opinion. These concepts are supported by Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, A Course in Miracles, A New Earth, The Success Principles, Think and Grow Rich, and The Secret. When you change your thoughts, and especially when you choose higher vibrations like Joy and avoid lower vibrations like Fear, you will change your life. Period.
A great tool to help you change your vibration is hypnosis. I am leading a free class on Conquering Your Anxiety with Hypnosis next week. If you’re ready to be free from the prison of stress, anxiety, worry and fear, please join us. Space is limited so RSVP (562) 305-3434.

P.S. For further support with lowering your stress and creating more joy, join me and Rev. Ahman in the Healing Fear Yahoo group. We can give you tips on how to apply all of this to life’s annoyances like going to the DMV, seeing the dentist and picking up the kids from school.
I’m forwarding this to my friend who will support me in attending. Sounds great.
Great Jillianne, I would love to see you again.
