Have you thought about using EFT to relieve stress?
We experience stress to varying levels throughout
the day. From sitting in traffic running late, to
having a deadline to meet or finding enough change
for the parking meter all these situations effect
our nervous system and state of well being in some
way.
Stress is the result of experiencing the flight
or fight response with its increase in adrenalin
and muscle tension but instead of this state only
being maintained for a short time this state is
prolonged. Chronic stress damages the nervous system and
function of the organs since the flight or fight
response is not meant to be maintained for long
periods of time.
EFT can help with relief of stress by returning
the bodies response to normal. It also helps to
change the way you react the situation that triggers
the stress response in the first place. Changing
your response then allows you to be in a more
resourceful state to do something about the
situation that is causing the stress response in the
first
place.
EFT phrases that may help in stressful situations
include:
- Even though I want to strangle this person, I
choose to relax and feel calm and centred.
- Even though I'm running late and there is nothing I
can do now to change that, I choose to relax
and to arrange
things so I can leave earlier next time.
- Even though I've got too many things on my plate, I
choose to focus on one thing at a time and do the
best I can right now.
Remember it may take a few rounds to unwind but its
worth it.
