Do This First For Stress Relief

We're entering an age where anything is possible. It's always been this way - and now more and more people are becoming aware of it. We can change anything about our lives - as long as we're willing to put in the effort. It's not about working harder - it's about working smarter and more effectively.

The hardest part of any change is being ready to change. Once you decide that you're ready the change happens very quickly - instantly even! Usually when the student is ready the teachers appear - as Dr Wayne Dyer says. So when you become ready the right person, book, workshop, or experience shows up.

Let's say you're ready to deal with family baggage and stress. You've tolerated the stress, miscommunication, and weight of it all and it's taking a toll on your wellbeing. Perhaps it's causing rifts between you and your spouse or children. Perhaps your body is in pain or ill.

You realize that in order to eliminate your stress, regain control of yourself, and how you respond to the situations that arise, you are the one who has initiate the change. You realize that this has nothing to do with fault or blame - and everything to do with personal responsibility. You can't change anyone else - you can only change your responses or reactions to others'. This puts the power back into your own hands.

The most important step to creating positive change is to clean out all the baggage that you're carrying around. All your anger, sadness, fears, guilt, hurt, and any limits that you've adopted as truths for yourself. If you've always pushed down negative emotions because you learned just to "get over it" then it's like carrying around a concrete back pack.

Your unconscious mind stores all these emotions and limits and they impact all your decisions and behaviors. They act as gunk and sludge through which you perceive your world. Once this gunk and sludge is cleaned out you gain clarity, lightness, and relief - you literally feel happier and more in control of your emotions.

Ask yourself this - have you ever been angry or sad about something that you're no longer angry or sad about? Your mind is already capable of releasing a negative emotion and it's only a matter of using the right modalities to drive the process. How much more baggage do you want to carry around before you decide it's time to release it?
