A point of interest
To the mind, good health equates to a long life, symptoms equate to ill health and
ill health equates to a potential threat to life. So if you have any symptoms, your
mind will be inclined to focus on them as it would a potential enemy. … In which
case, when suffering symptoms of stress, you need to distract your mind from your
symptoms as much as possible. And that you can do by occupying your mind with other
things, thereby showing your mind that your symptoms are nothing to be concerned
about.
Furthermore, if you were in life-or-death danger, whilst your body would produce
a massive burst of energy, it would quickly use up that energy trying to save your
life. Likewise, if you were a sports person, as much as you would psyche yourself
up and produce massive bursts of energy, you would quickly use up that energy participating
in your sport. Being a stress sufferer however, whilst your body is now producing
a significant amount of nervous energy, you are likely to be spending much of your
time trying to bury everything associated to it; hiding your worries, swallowing
your screams, holding-in your frustrations, suppressing your cries, concealing your
distress and containing your terror. So rather than making lots of nervous energy
then quickly using it all, you are actually stockpiling it and ever-increasing it
in massive amounts; which obviously can’t continue. … In which case, when suffering
stress, you need to both slow down your production of nervous energy and physically
release whatever nervous energy you have built up.
The stress-buster
As you will see, the stress-buster itself consists of three categories and 21 elements.
And whilst each of the 21 elements will play its own major part in both distracting
your mind from the negative and occupying your mind with the positive, each of the
three categories will offer you something else in addition. So firstly, read all
21 elements and then decide which ones you feel will work best for you. My recommendation
is that the 11 elements marked with an * are essential and those not marked are highly
recommended.
‛Stress-buster’

There are, of course, a multitude of reasons why every person living in this modern
age would benefit from participating in an activity that brings 'calm' to the body,
mind and soul. Therefore if you are living with stress and suffering with nervous
tention then participating in the stress-buster is strongly advisable. And, of course,
