Let anxiety and stress go, and find peace of mind and body

Stress never fixed a problem

Stress and anxiety are the same symptom of nervous tension, and neither ever made anything better. Even if stress does motivate a person to take action, it is not the stress that resolves the problem; it is taking action that resolves it. Not only does taking action get things done, but taking action makes you feel better.

And worry? Worry is just a misuse of creativity and imaginative thinking.

Most often, stress and worry restrain a person from taking action. They stymie logical, rational, and creative thinking. They inhibit incentive and in general make a person feel crummy. Stress, anxiety, and worry breed frustration and give rise to isolation and withdrawal.

Recent research papers have confirmed that stress produces chemicals that shut down the immune system, directly destroy heart muscle and, over time, kill brain cells.

So what created your stress and worry in the first place? Stress is the product of being inconvenienced by someone or something, and worry is the acquired habit of thinking about things you most likely have no control over.

There is a direct correlation between our stress level and our ability to recall, think clearly, and engage in rational thought. The mechanism in our brain that we use for dealing with stress is the same mechanism we use for recall and analytical thinking. Very often, stress also causes poor decisions in relationships — we just react, rather than consider the consequences of our reactions.

Worry is the evil partner of stress

I'm just guessing, but I'd say probably 50% of the things you worry about will either never occur or have already happened. Another 49% of your worrying is about things that you can't change. We can't change anything in the past; it has already occurred. Just like worrying about the future won't change anything either — taking action might, but worrying about it won't. The remaining 1% left to worry about will happen with certainty: death. But worrying about death does not prolong life; if anything, stress and worry hasten the event.

When you come in for a session, I will demonstrate that you can be stress free — emotionally independent from the negative behavior of other people, circumstances, and the uncertainty of the future. I will show you how to use the powers that are in your mind and brain to remove your stress and worry so you can come up with rational solutions to the things that have been stressing you.

I will also give you suggestions so that the ones you can't do anything about no longer trouble you, so you are free to turn your worry-stress time into productive time and enjoy a sense of peace.
