Christmas Tips for Managing Stress

If you are stressing about past Christmases, or any past event, then you are relying on memory to provide the stress factors. Those stress factors can limit us in our everyday tasks. If you are stressing about the coming Christmas, or any future event, then you are just imagining it and creating your own stress factors. Based on what? Future event stress is normally based on previous events, so we are back in the past, which is imaginary, remember?

Friday 13th is here…

However, today our fear of Friday 13th, is mostly illogical, and comes from condtioning at an early age.

If nothing bad happens on Friday 13th, we quickly forget. If it does, we remember well for the next time.

As most of you know, I don’t write conventional blog posts about enhancing your personal development or actively get your business increased or improved. Rather, I seem to be drawn to things and ideas based on the very things that happen around me in my personal and professional life.
