“It's Like a Day at the Spa for Your Brain”
Are you stressed out?
Do you have a hard time “leaving work at work,” and instead carry worries from the day with you at all times? Do you ever become frazzled and have difficulty concentrating or achieving clarity when problem-solving? Are you frequently anxious or easily overwhelmed? Do you take your anger and frustrations out on loved ones? Is tension and confusion causing you to perform at a sub-par level? Do you feel that you are losing control over you life? Are you less than happy?
If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, then you are not alone. Millions of Torontonians suffer from chronic stress every day. And as society becomes increasingly fast-paced with more demands placed on its members, stress levels are rising at an alarming rate.
Three Crucial Areas of Your Life That are Dramatically Affected by Stress
Stress in the Workplace: It doesn’t matter if you’re a CEO or on the front lines, if you’re in an office or out on the field, if you’re self-employed or part of a major corporation—every job has elements of stress. And the way you conduct yourself during those stressful moments will directly affect how successful you are. Without the ability to properly manage stress you will not excel in your career—regardless of your knowledge or experience. On the hand, being able to remain calm and rational under pressure is a highly-valued skill in the professional world. By demonstrating that you can be depended on in any situation, you will have a tremendous advantage over your colleagues and you will succeed accordingly.
Stress at Home: Family life isn’t always easy. Aging parents, newborn or very young children, divorce or remarriage, boyfriend/girlfriend relations, illness or injury, pregnancy or death, financial instability, relocation or altered living conditions, or children with emotional or behavioural difficulties can all contribute to a stressful home life. By discovering how to maintain a calm demeanour and approach family dilemmas with a rational mindset, you will be able to handle the difficulties facing your family far better. Additionally, your calmness will affect others and bring the tension/energy level of the family down to a place where logical decisions can be made and solutions implemented, all while maintaining a strong family bond.
Stress and Your Health: Nearly every chronic illness or condition is triggered or made worse by stress, including migraines, irritable bowel syndrome, cold sores, fibromyalgia, chronic stomach or head aches, ulcers, high blood pressure (leading to heart disease, heart attack or stroke), and cancer. Furthermore, stress prompts unhealthy lifestyle choices such as smoking, excessive drinking or drug use, and overeating. It is also related to sudden weight loss or gain and the rapidity of visible aging. In short, your body reflects your mental state. Reducing or eliminating stress in your life is an excellent first step to promoting a healthy lifestyle. You’ve heard the saying, “Healthy body, healthy mind.” Well, it’s time to also focus on the reverse of that: “Healthy mind, healthy body.”
The Secret Behind Stress—And How to Overcome It
Many people believe that the only way to eradicate stress is to remove its cause. For those who work in high-stress environments, this may mean quitting your job, which is not always an option or necessarily something you even want to do. After all, you have worked hard to achieve the success level that you are at—you don’t want to throw all that away.
Fortunately, you don’t have to. That’s because stress is not an independent entity in and of itself, but rather a way of reacting to a situation. You don’t need to necessarily change what you do in order to change how you feel—you simply need to change how you think. By altering the way you interpret and behave in situations, you can not only lower your stress levels but even convert that negative energy into positive motivation that will considerably improve you performance. Through hypnosis, you can discover how to diminish or eliminate stress—quickly, safely, and permanently.
How Hypnosis Targets Stress in Your Subconscious
Our minds are divided into two sections: the conscious mind and the subconscious mind. Our conscious mind is responsible for the thoughts we have which we are aware of, such as formulating strategy when playing chess or deciding what to cook for dinner. Our subconscious mind, on the other hand, thinks on a deeper level and is in charge of our respiratory system, circulatory system, immune system and other processes. Both parts of our mind observe, absorb and formulate opinions and beliefs based on our knowledge and experiences. However, our conscious mind does this on principles of rationale and logic whereas our subconscious operates on emotion. Furthermore, we are aware of what our conscious mind believes but unable to access the ideas of our subconscious. Stress builds up through the thoughts and reactions that our governed by our subconscious—this is why it is impossible to shake the feelings of anxiety even if you are able to rationalize the issues that surround them.
By inducing a state of deep relaxation, hypnosis allows access to your subconscious mind. From there, it is possible to uncover the roots of stress. Then, using motivational suggestions, your hypnotherapist will suggest new ways of looking at and reacting to these triggers—not to cease them from causing stress, but to utilize that energy as a means of ambition and productivity.
