Here’s my thought for the day (thanks to prompt from the Philosopher’s Notes 50-Day Challenge) that I love so much I am going to work this into a hypno session so I can program my mind with this one.
The actual big idea comes from Dale Carnegie’s How To Stop Worrying And Start Living. It is so simple and doable that I can’t believe I haven’t heard this before, somewhere along the way! Here’s the tip:
1) When dealing with worry and anxiety – the second you make a decision you dispel 50% of the stress that you were carrying (that psychological stress is gone);
2) Then when you take action on that decision – you banish another 40%!
Isn’t that so true! Hasn’t that been your experience too?
Yesterday Martina and I were having a lunch discussion about MindboomTV and all the things we need to do. It can be so overwhelming at times I wasn’t sure which one of us would break down first. But the second we made a decision of how we would proceed over this next week – it was like someone flipped the switch and that big black cloud lifted immediately.
I could breath again. And that is what stress is. I used to think stress was something that other people had to deal with. I am a pretty low key personality – not too high, not too low. But my stress comes out in different ways. Impatience and snapping at others. Frustration. But the worse is – it feels like it sucks the fun out of life.
Stress is not worth the price I have (or you) been paying. So I am making a decision, right here and now – to program this little 1-2 punch into my life to deal with stress on a daily basis. The other thing I am doing, is getting a daily dose of Abraham-Hicks. I don’t want or need this blog to be all about them – but…
If it works and you feel better it is worth everything! Because how you feel matters, in more ways than you can realize. Here’s my share for the day:
