yet extremely informative,

and well worth reading!

Just look for the adjectives.

They tell the tale:

* in ‘neutral’ news items on Radio, TV, Internet

* what people say about themselves and others.

“A horrible tragedy occurred again today…”

“Someone died.” is not as manipulating exciting.

“Global warming…”

“Current temperature variations” is boring.

Adjectives clearly show how you are being manipulated.

How they want you to think.

Simple, but very informative!

We can easily ‘see’ what tomorrow brings.

Want to call someone but afraid of bad news. Wait until tomorrow.

Need to pay a bill that’s expensive. Wait till tomorrow.

OK, So?

Take advantage of the fact you already use tomorrow to push things off.

But emotionally.

Worried about something, anything? Then say to yourself “Today I will Rest and Relax. Then tomorrow I will worry about it.”

Not in two or three days. Tomorrow. I clearly see nothing is going to happen until tomorrow anyways.

And this way I get a day of Rest and Relaxation.

Then, when that subject comes up again, I simply chide myself gently and say “Not today. Tomorrow.”

And that’s it.

EVERY time the same thing comes up in your mind, you say “Not today. Tomorrow I’ll deal with this.” Knowing nothing will happen to make it worse in just one day, today.

Then tomorrow you do actually do what you were going to do today, even if it’s only to worry about something.

When you do that you have just cut down your less enjoyable time by half.

Of course the next day is now a new “set” of two days. 

The first of which is Rest and Relax time. 

And the second, the normal one, full of whatever.

After several rounds of these Two-Day Sets, extend this concept a bit and go to a Three-Day Unit, the first TWO of which you say Not Today, tomorrow. 

And so on.

Eleven were started at exactly the same time. Tick.

One was started (Tick) when the others were at Tock.

Everyone left the room.

Soon the one somehow altered (adjusted?) itself (!)

Then all twelve were in sync. In resonance.

OK, so?

The dominance of your thoughts in any one subject literally causes other thoughts 

in that same subject to alter /adjust such that they become in sync with the majority.

After all, if grandfather clocks can and do adjust themselves automatically…

You can, and do this yourself. Automatically.

Again, so?

Well, if you continuously think that it’s not possible, not true, not so, etc. 

Then you disturb the automatic mechanism. You didn’t leave the room.

Leave the room.

Too easy?

Those below are specifically chosen to help you understand this phenomena.

Note: Stimulus is always the same.

However Response depends 100% on where the Triangle is.

The more ‘left’ the Triangle is, the greater the Reaction…

to the same stimulus.

The more to the right, the smaller the Response /reaction.

OK, so?

This is a fundamental diagram /situation.

Fundamental!

Substitute Money and see how true it still is.

Or Fear – Worry – Experience – Self Confidence, etc.

Now you understand why children seem to ‘over-react’ to things.

Ignore their (or your!) response /reaction and address the real issue:

How to move that Triangle to the right.

That’s the problem,

and that’s the solution.

Every time.

Not always easy to do but at least you are on the right track.

Move   the   Triangle  !

Stress is needed and useful in your life.

Now the not-so-obvious:

Distress is the single biggest contributor to shorten your life.

Centenarians (people 100+ years old) overwhelmingly cite being able to effectively cope with Distress, as the MAJOR common denominator to their long, healthy lives.

“The usual recommendations—not smoking, not drinking, plenty of exercise, a well-balanced diet, keeping your weight down— do not apply to centenarians. They are in a class of their own.” Nir Barzilai, Institute for Aging Research, Albert Einstein College of Medicine, New York

Dr. Barzilai reports of the 500 centenarians surveyed, when at age 70:

* 45 % were overweight or obese

* 37 % smoked (an average of 31 years!)

* 64 % did only moderate or no exercise

Another Major study (68,222 adults for 14 years) determined a clear association between psychological distress and major causes of mortality. A considerably raised risk of mortality was evident, even at low levels of distress. BMJ 2012;345:e4933

OK, so?

There are many ways to effectively reduce Distress.

These 22 are specifically chosen to help you do this.

1. Worry about an Unsolvable-by-you situation.

2. Change your mind to stop worrying by

Read-a-Book,

See-a-Movie,

Over-Eat, etc.

However when you are done… you go right back to #1

Because  you  did  not  change.

You only stopped triggering it by doing #2

You still think worry will somehow solve it.

To truly change you must literally train yourself that worry – in this case – does not solve anything.

Remember:

Life has no Remote

You must change it yourself.

is simple. Just substitute Muscles when you think Emotions. What happens if you tie your arm in a sling and never remove it. Ever. Why, your arm quickly becomes useless. When you hide an Emotional aspect and ‘never’ expose it, it also becomes useless. Which leads to further hiding. And further uselessness. OK, so? Welll, the problem is, once you have a useless arm, it doesn’t stop there. Because anything that might push against your arm would then hurt you. So you retreat even more, just in case. This keeps up until one day you have an Emotional collapse. You actually have two decision times. One is when you collapse. Hide it again or open up and take the (initial) pain. The other is ‘now’ when you can exercise that emotional arm a bit, and then a bit more, and then a… It’s going to happen anyways, why not now and in a more controlled manner, with far less pain? Exercise that arm! ————————————————— To reinforce this, read any 2 below: # 7 Disaster – 10 Progress It – 14 Eliminating Triggers – 24 The Wedge – 40 So What! 92 Strength – 108 Emotions – 112 Emotions Part 2

Can’t stop?

Then don’t stop.

Stop trying the on/off ‘switch’, it obviously doesn’t work for you.

Imagine instead you have a Volume Control.

Turn down the volume.

But not all the way.

That would be the same as an on/off switch.

Just turn the Volume down a little bit.

Then, when you see that works, turn it down a little more.

Oh, most likely only you will notice it at first, but that’s Ok.

You are doing this for yourself anyways, right?

Soon the volume is so low it simply stops being of concern to you.

Of course, as usual, you have to actually do it to get the results.

With the windows down.

Yep, LOTS of water in the car.

Situation

Water in Car

Reaction 1

Damages, cost, stupid, etc.

Emotion

Anger, annoyance, upset, mad, etc.

OR

Reaction 2

Wow, just like in cartoons!

Emotion

Open door and laugh while water pours out. (real story!)

Ok, so?

You don’t control everyday Situations. (see # 255)

You don’t control your Emotions.

You can control your choice of response /reaction.

That is where you have power over your emotions.

And have a good life.

Trying to deal with resulting emotions after you choose to interpret a situation

just isn’t effective.

When you laugh or smile, even when you don’t feel happy, you release endorphins which help relieve stress and build your immune system. (Richard Davidson, professor of psychology and psychiatrist. Paul Ekman, psychologist. Arnie Cann, professor of psychology, and many, many, many others!)

One minute of solid laughter = 45 minutes of subsequent relaxation. Neurologist Henri Rubenstein

100 laughs = 10 minutes on a rowing machine. Professor William Fry, Stanford U

After being told he would live in excruciating pain before he died, Norman Cousins looked at every funny movie he could find. He watched and re-watched them over and over, laughing as hard as he could.

After 6 months his illness was completely cured! (Anatomy of an Illness)
