What makes your stress worse? Your job? Money? Moving? Love or lack of it? Physical or emotional pain? Your in-laws?

How much of your feeling of stress is based off of your current situations, and how much is based off of your past situations? You probably know what I mean by that, but the answer is not always clear when you’re in the middle of it.

It’s common sense that managing and reducing stress can prevent many problems. Problems with general health, potential addiction, and more. Preventing these problems with stress management methods is much less costly and more comfortable than dealing with the results.

I know you wouldn’t choose to have problems with your blood pressure, heart, or trouble sleeping. But, ignoring your stress is very close to doing just that.

Some people with high stress look to avoid the discomfort by looking for pleasure to cover it. Things like watching TV, movies, medications, smoking and other addictions.

Lots of people believe prescription medication is the only choice. If there were an easy, medically studied and safe method to relieve stress, wouldn’t you try it?

If it really worked, I know you would.

You’ve probably watched a movie or television to relax. Does it really help? Probably most of the time you’re watching it you feel relatively more relaxed. Something else to focus on and think about? But there really isn’t much “thinking” going on… it just helps you make a more relaxed state of mind.

Some people achieve this same mental state using creative visualization, meditation, or prayer.

All of these examples technically achieve a mental state of hypnosis. With a little practice, it is very easy to get this hyper focused state. Like when you’re involved in reading a book, or on the phone.

You actually go into a light state of hypnosis several times a day anyway. And to do it on purpose, with the intention of relieving stress, is quick and proven effective.

I’m a hypnotist, so what do you expect me to say, right? The National Library of Medicine has a site, ww.pubmed.gov where you can search for medical studies on hypnosis and stress. Please remember, these are trained doctors doing hypnosis, not trained hypnotists. The results can be even better than they find.

Physical and mental stress relief of over 50% is possible in under 10 minutes. Honest.

Getting help from a well trained and reputable hypnotist or using a quality hypnosis audio at home to relieve stress is a wonderful choice. Hypnosis can more reliably help your stress, and hypnosis has no side-effects.

Note: Even though hypnosis has been an approved by the American Medical Association since 1958, it does not replace conventional medicine.

Success Tips: 5 Simple But Effective Ideas

Here are 5 success tips that you can use to juice up your life, your work, or your business. These are precise, easy to understand, and simple to implement concepts. They are also very powerful and effective.

1. Get rid of the clutter — The consumer oriented society we live in offers a product that promises to repair or enhance almost anything. You can buy tips for success on how to improve your golf game, your business bottom line, or how to get out of debt.

As a result, we are overflowing with stuff. We have too many products that we never use. Much of it doesn’t perform as we expected when we do use it.

We have exercise equipment that promised to make us thin, but we never use; movies that we bought on DVD, but never watch. We own bikes we never ride, and books we never read.

Getting rid of the clutter opens us up to receiving new things, and having new experiences. Too much junk clogs up the pipes, so to speak.

Doing this spring cleaning exercise allows us to have fewer, but more powerful thoughts. It also allows us to become more focused and more effective in our actions.

2. Stop chasing success — Stop chasing success and looking for the big score. Instead, become task oriented and tackle and complete each task set before you. Set your goals and then become a magnet for the things you want. Envision in your mind what it is you want, and then break down the steps into tasks that are easy to do. The less you chase success, the more likely it is to come your way.

3. Create daily habits — Choose 10 things that inspire you and create habits around those things. Don’t choose things that you feel you should do. Instead, choose things that juice you up and replace any old bad habits with these instead.

4. Complete your work now — We know that procrastination is a huge impairment to success. Most of us, however, will put off starting a project until almost the last minute. Yet, somehow, we still manage to get things done on time.

If you can finish a project in a day instead of a week, then start immediately and complete it on the first day, and not the last. You can use the remaining time to work on personal goals, your part-time business, or something else that inspires you.

5. Determine your outcome and know what you want — Decide. Decide on what you want. Decide to commit to your decisions, to take action, to follow through, and decide to accept the consequences of your actions.

For the next 5 months, add one of these success tips each month. In a short time, you’ll see an improvement in the results you get in each aspect of your life and work.
