We live in very anxious times. At time of writing we still didn't know who was going to be running the country and whether we would get through the recession.
Anxiety stress and worry are together one of the biggest hidden killers. Cancer, smoking, obesity and the following strokes and heart attacks are the biggest killers and are the most obvious. The hidden reason for much of these problems, however, is often stress worry and anxiety. People smoke or overeat because of stress anxiety or worry.
Businesses are piling more and more work on fewer and fewer people in the work place and this is quite honestly very dangerous. I know too many people who have had new companies take over the business and then fire some people and split their old jobs between people already overstretched. I try to advise companies that this is a false economy because too many of their staff will end up on tranquillizers and may get very ill. In many cases they won't address the underlying issues so may find that they are on medication most of the time. In a worst case scenario many will self medicate with illegal drugs or too much alcohol - none of this is ideal for the business or the individual. Short of quitting the job it is best to consider getting help with a Hypnotherapist.
You can learn how to handle stress anxiety and worry with Hypnotherapy - instantly floating stress away and teaching the subconscious mind how to be calm instead of like a headless chicken. I make CDs to help them find calm but it is also important to deal with the why of stress in their individual case as well as giving them the tactics to avoid these problems and teaching the subconscious mind to let you be calmer and more effective.
Try this exercise: Find a quiet place and switch off the telephone. Put on some soothing music. Close your eyes. Start to breathe deeply all the way down to your belly. Visualise the colour of calm (whatever that is to you - I suggest the colour of sunny white gold) and then imagine breathing that down to your belly and letting it radiate the colour of calm throughout you body - wherever healing or relief is required. Continue to do this until you feel calm and relaxed.
Then imagine on the out breath sending all the stress anxiety and worry away and letting it form into a red ball of stress. Imagine a lever marked 10 - 1. Turn it to nine and see the ball lose colour and shrink then down to eight etc until the ball is colourless and disappears.
I also teach people how to be 100% more effective at work by prioritising their day - you would be surprised how many business people are rubbish at this - they try to do too many things and end up doing lots badly whereras I teach them to be calm and work through the tasks in order of importance and become much more efficient - they also learn how to say that a thing will be done but not necessarily NOW because they have a load of other stuff which also needs to be done.
