From Stress Management to Stress Free

Most people view stress as an inevitable part of life. Since stress has been a name more than fifty years, people have to "stress" or "stress management" strategies to reduce. They range from changing the things we like, perhaps reframing a problem as a challenge or an opportunity to control with preventive practices such as deep breathing, yoga, sleeping on it, count to ten, and so on. Stress or the administration by minimizing their harmful effects by practicing self-care, such as the exercise of supplementation with vitamins, acupuncture, running, and the like. Strangely, the idea that we might easily assume, and eliminating the source of stress in our lives, hardly comes.

Let's again a minute and discover what stress actually is and where it comes from. I would like to acknowledge the master coach Thomas Leonard, to shift my view from the classical definition of stress as a "threat - combined with lack of control" - in a situation, the thought of stress as an unresolved tension between opposites. Stress can be anything she wants and does not, or the feeling two contradictory emotions at once, such as grief and joy, or it may result from the application for a conflicting view something with someone else. At its core, to emphasize, is feeling, Split, about not being able to feel, or with the reality of experience.

If this is the case, if stress is a gap between two seemingly irreconcilable opposites, you can eliminate it at source - and not try to manage or to build resistance to it - by three simple internal shifts to these apparent gaps.

1. believe that it is possible, stress-free. Most people immediately close their minds to this idea with a number of reasons why some conflicts are simply not correct. This belief creates a schism. No solution is possible with this mentality. Believe - know - that it is possible, a happy life, even if you do not feel split. You just have not yet discovered how.

2. shift from either /or thinking to an even /and perspective. to make each one of your conflicting desires, opinions and true feelings. Give them all the room to exist. Make all right. Creativity is born from the fermentation of the reconciliation of opposites. Who you have to find solutions from this perspective?

3. you find joy and possibility in each moment, the central intention of everyday life. Shift your attention from the verdict which has the effect of separation from others, generosity and overall life. Unlearn your habitual reactions. Stay in the present. In anticipation of responses on the basis of past separates you from the moment, and leads you to miss opportunities. Find the unique possibility of wedge joy that each moment holds.
