What makes your stress worse? Your job? Money? Moving? Love or lack of it? Physical or emotional pain? Your in-laws? Is the bulk of your stress because of current situations in your life or is it based off of previous events in your life? It's likely you understand what I mean by this, and the answer is sometimes hard to find. You are aware that managing and reducing stress can prevent lots of problems. Problems with health, sleep, poor diet potential addiction, and more. Stopping these problems before they start is just smart. I know you wouldn't choose to have problems with your blood pressure, heart, or trouble sleeping. But, ignoring your stress is very close to doing just that. People with stress problems often look to avoid the discomfort by looking for pleasure or distraction. Things like watching TV, movies, using medications, food, smoking or other addictions. Lots of people believe prescription medication is the only choice. If there were an easy, medically studied and safe method to relieve stress, wouldn't you try it? Of course you would, if it really works. You've probably watched a movie or television to relax. Does it really help? Probably most of the time you're watching it you feel relatively more relaxed. Something else to focus on and think about? But there really isn't much "thinking" going on... it just helps you make a more relaxed state of mind. Some people achieve this same mental state using creative visualization, meditation, or prayer. All ways to create the mental state technically known as hypnosis. Very little practice will let anyone easily and quickly achieve this nice state of mind. The same state you sometimes get while reading a book or talking on the phone. Hypnosis is a state of mind everyone goes into several times a day. Hypnotizing yourself, on purpose, is so easy to do and is so beneficial to your stress and health in general. There are medical clinical studies in the National Library of Medicine you can research on www.pubmed.gov. Your stress can be reduced by at least half in less than 10 minutes. I've checked this myself with my relaxation audio on over 45 people rating their stress on a scale of 1 to 10 before and again after the audio. Only one person had a reduction of less than 50%. But, was still happy with reducing 30% Getting help from an appropriately trained hypnotist or using a quality self-hypnosis audio to reduce general stress are perfect alternatives. They have a higher rate of long-term success than medication and hypnosis has no potential for side-effects. Please note: While hypnosis has been an approved by the American Medical Association since 1958, it does not replace conventional medicine.
