Reader’s Digest kicked off a list of 37 stress reducers with this:
"Embrace the number one truth about
stress: Only you create it. Stress
isn’t defined as a large workload,
a difficult child, or a rise in
terrorism. Stress is your physical
and mental reaction to these external
stimuli. Embracing the fact that stress
is your reaction to external stimuli —
and not the stimuli themselves — is
half the battle toward managing it. You
can’t change a crazy world. But you can
learn to handle it with humor, humility,
and hope.
What makes one person respond with compassion, another with anger, and another with humor? How did you acquire your unique stress responses?
One theory is that emotional stress plays a big part.
Dr. Ben Kim (drbenkim.com) says, “Our emotional health status is the single most important determinant of our overall health, since it's the foundation from which all of our daily choices are made. Chronic emotional stress is a direct cause of disease and dysfunction.“
Do you want to live your life in emotional stress? Or manage stress with a list of yet more things to do?
Can you see the irony?
Stress management... JUST ONE MORE @#$% THING TO DO!
You must heal the root cause of emotional stress. Otherwise, you may spend the rest of your life see-sawing between building up stress and managing stress.
Health and emotional stress
Dr. Kim says emotional stress is one of the most significant causes of all chronic health challenges because your body cannot defend itself against the damage that emotional stress quietly creates over time. Your body pays a heavy physiological price for every moment that you feel anxious, tense, frustrated, and angry.He goes on to say that emotional stress "is not given the attention it deserves because it's difficult to come up with standardized treatments that can address every person's personal sources of anxiety and fear." Emotional people have more to lose...and they also have more to gain. Click here for self-help stress reducers treatment that helps you heal the emotional effects of stress.

Stress Reducers Are Important Self Care
 People often tell me they can’t have healthy relationships or they are skeptical that I can help them.
Lest we forget: A rewarding life or good relationships are natural -- an unrewarding life or unhealthy (or absent) relationships are what is unnatural.
Folks, as humans our brains and nervous systems are hard-wired to need happiness and relationships! This is a healthy, good need. I use a proven process called Resonance Repatterning® to identify the patterns that get in your way and assist you in shifting to new patterns.
I make no claims about instant fixes and if I did, the skeptics would be right. However, I do claim that sessions can powerfully move you from negative to positive patterns. These shifts change you from the inside out and ripple out into your life and relationships. These shifts change you: who you attract - and how you act - and how you feel.
