If you do not believe you can have it all,

then you get to choose

how much less than all you will have !

Anatomy of Stress

For sure you are aware that 'stress/worry' is the cause to most, if not all, illness and dis-ease. Yup, 'stress/worry' is known to release chemical toxins that effect the body in various unhealthy ways to varying degrees.

 

It is not unusual to use drugs, prescribed or not, and/or booze, to 'relax', 'not worry', 'stay calm', 'not get excited', 'chill out'. Of course the 'stress/worry' is not purged, even though sometimes it may seem that way.

 

Unless the cause to ' stress/ worry' is addressed and eliminated, it goes underground to do its damage when you attempt to repress or deny your stressful feelings.

 

When you do not worry about something or other it is because you feel confident in your ability to deal with something of other. 'Stress' cannot get a foothold when you are expressing confidence. 

 

'Stress' comes from 'worry'. You worry because you believe with great conviction that you do not have what it takes to adequately deal with someone or something in your life in a stress-less manner. Otherwise, you wouldn't feel bummed out. 'Stress' and all its implications makes an appearance by way of 'worry'. 

 

It is interesting to note that not everyone worries about the same things, or to the same degree. That means 'inadequacy' is an inside job and has nothing to do with what you worry about.........even though it may seem that way.

 

Your sense of inadequacy, to whatever degree, is not something you were born with. You picked it up along life's journey from someone or other. With frequent reinforcement it became a habit. It matters not if your habit came from your mother, your third grade teacher, your Aunt Zelda, or whomever. What does matter is your awareness of your habit of inadequacy as a habit just doing its thing by finding stuff to worry about just so you could feel 'inadequate'. If it's not one thing, it's another.

 

You can bet that any sense of inadequacy you might feel is just someone else's habit of inadequacy that is now your habit. You have been successfully hypnotized to believe and behave as if you are inadequate, to some degree. You have been successfully hypnotized not to be aware of greater life-enhancing ideas. To be sure, you were hypnotized to be less than you really are by well- meaning people. Well, maybe some were not so well-meaning. It matters not. What matters is your awareness of the habit of 'inadequacy'........as a habit, and like any habit, can be broken.

 

So, it seems to me that if you would awaken from a hypnotic stupor that implies you are inadequate in any way..........to a greater understanding of your innate ability to transcend any obstacle to your destiny to live life fully and completely, (after all, 'there is no place where God's Essence ends and you begin'), sooner rather than later there would not be any situation in your life that would be greater than your ability. How does it seem to you?

Think it's a bit much to think that you could be stress-free all of the time? Well, how about more of the time for starters?

Happy trails,

 

Harvey

 

P.S. Think it would take a miracle to de-hypnotize your SELF from ideas of inadequacy that promote stress and anxiety?

THE OPTIMISM HOTLINE

Just because you may not know how to solve what seems to you to be an unsolvable personal or professional problem, 

or...... just because you may not know how to bring about peace where there is conflict in your life, 

or......just because you may not know how to finally lose the weight that has plagued you (without losing your mind), 

or......just because you may not know how to bring about greater success and fulfillment, 

or......just because you may not know how to forgive yourself and be relieved of the guilt about something or other, 

or.....just because you may not know how to unblock blocked creativity, 

or.....just because you may not know how you can be a greater expression of understanding and wisdom, 

or.....just because you may not know how to muster courage and confidence where courage and confidence are lacking, 

or.....just because you may not know what your real purpose 

for being is,

or.....just because you may not know how to bring less stress 

into your life, 

or.....just because you may not know which decision to make for enhancing your life in a greater way, 

or.....just because you don't know how to feel less lonely and incomplete, 

or....just because you don't know how to feel less dependent on others,

Habitually focusing, with conviction, on 'not knowing' whatever you are 'not knowing', is a crummy (thought/energy) that causes you to know whatever you are convinced you know. And if you know with great conviction that you 'don't know' something or other,,,,,,,,,,, ..............TA DA! ....... you never get to know what you know you don't know. How do you like them apples? However, it doesn't mean you do not have the potential to know whatever you need to know whenever you need to know it.

You break the habit of 'not knowing' as you frequently focus on ideas that suggest; you, without question have the Potential to know whatever you need to know whenever you need to know it. An idea that is not only quite reasonably believable, but self-empowering as well. Surely, to reflect on the notion of you  having the Potential to know whatever you need to know whenever you need to know it, as a reasonable idea, feels lighter than the feeling of 'not knowing'.

As you 'hang out' with ideas that are contrary to limiting hypnotic suggestions from the past, with a sense of reasonability you dehypnotize yourself from ideas that limit you in any way.

The truth is, you do have the Potential to know whatever you need to know whenever you need to know it. To think otherwise is 

hypnotically conditioned absurdity. To not get your mind used to the believable idea of your Potential to know whatever you need to know whenever you need to know it, stifles your creative essence. Whatever is necessary for your life to be enriched in greater ways, you already have. There is nothing that you are in need of. Nothing! Zip! Zilch! Get used to it. 

 

Here is your mission; 

With a ball point or felt tip pen draw a happy face on the inside

of your thumb. Two dots for the eyes, a smile for the mouth.

Look at your thumb, and with as much conviction as you can muster, affirm the following; 

Today I will remember 

this idea to always know;

My Potential to know whatever I need to know.....

is absolutely so!

Look at your thumb during the course of the day. You will be reminded of the existence of your undeniable Potential to always know whatever you need to know whenever you need to know it.  

Your frequent awareness of your Potential to always know whatever you need to know whenever you need to know it, awakens your Potential to take you over and express though you greater and more creative ideas.

 

Don't be surprised to find yourself 'knowing' more than you once thought you knew........without even trying. As a matter of fact, you can expect it. Wanna bet?

Reinforce the above affirmation every morning and as you replace a fading happy face on your thumb. This assignment is to continue each day until your next mission.

 

SELF  LOVE  MANIFESTO    __________

Self-Love is understanding that 'struggle' of any kind 

is the result of habitually confining your mind's creativity 

to its conditioned and programmed limits that you learned 

from others. Your understanding breaks the habit.  

 

That's a wrap!
