Dealing with Stress
by Kevin Jones

Funny thing about this is Stress is self created. Hold on let me explain!

Our reality is based upon our “Perception” of events. Keyword “Perception”. What have you deemed as “Stress” or what is your Perception of what Stress is or should be? What if everything we did or experienced could have a perfect outcome? Matthew Ferry taught me the perfect game (click here to learn more).

See the Stress we create for ourselves is usually generated from or by our Responses or Reactions to a particular event. The reaction is caused by the subconscious mind from previous experiences. The previous experience is only our version of how we remember the perception of the initial or previous event.

How can this change? Easy 97% of the population is on autopilot. They are programmed by the Government, the Media and other influences. They believe this is the way it should be or the only way it can be. Creature of habit syndrome. (click here for a video)

Let’s make the 3% a much higher number by beginning to be more open and “Briefly” think about decisions. Have you ever done something … like drive somewhere and not remember how you got there? Scary stuff … but you were on autopilot!

All we need to do is quickly and consciously review and make the decision. This in itself will eliminate much stress of fixing things that should have been done right the first time.

Second, determine the source of the stress. Fix it or get rid of it. Now please, if you’ve been on the job or married for 20 years … don’t just pack up and go. If it’s the job, find a new way t make change, maybe a new position maybe not trying to fight the system and go with the flow, etc. With a spouse, you can’t force them to change … but you can change yourself. Here’s a good tip: If you are getting a bad response from the spouse or loved one, consider this … What if your actions were causing their reactions to you?

Don’t believe me … here’s a Challenge from me to you. Do good things for your spouse or loved one and under no circumstance are you allowed to get angry, upset or mad for a full 30 days. Tell them you love them multiple times daily. Surprise them with gifts, it doesn’t have to be monetary, it could be as simple as taking a break from what you are doing to give them a kiss, write them a note, put I Love You on the grocery list, etc.

The results are truly amazing and you will be rewarded beyond your wildest dreams (if you are sincere).
