Stress and the Law of Attraction

Stress and the Law of Attraction


Everybody is talking today about the law of attraction. What is the law of attraction? In short the law of attraction states that “whatever we hold in our minds, our bodies begin moving toward the subject of what we are thinking.”

If you are thinking about going shopping for example, you begin to access the critical thought areas of the brain that involve comparison shopping. You begin planning the route you are going to take and the steps you need to take to make purchases. You are activating the law of attraction. Soon you will be shopping.

If you are a child thinking about playing baseball, the muscles you need to hit and throw a baseball are being activated, even before you set out to play on the baseball diamond. The law of attraction is activated as you move towards your goal of playing baseball for the day. Your mind and body are in complete harmony.

Stress and the law of attraction

When the thoughts triggering stress and more accurately, the effects of stress become firmly entrenched in our minds, the law of attraction is put into play. Whatever we had planned in our minds beforehand become a moot point. As we accept stress as our prevailing thought, our bodies move toward even more stress.

Why is this so? We are activating the law of attraction. We are moving toward a goal, and idea or a prevailing thought. Unfortunately, we are moving toward a harmful goal, but our minds and bodies are moving just the same. The effects of our stress become magnified as our bodies move to get in harmony with our minds.

What step can I take to eliminate stress while using the law of attraction?

The biggest step you can take to eliminate stress is to take its active power away. How you do that is to defeat the effects of stress before they have a chance to gain momentum.

Here is the biggest step toward defeating stress

Every day, focus on breathing deeply. When you build up to a stressful situation, when you allow stress to become your prevailing thought for the day, you will find that your breathing shallows. Your heart rate moves faster, your blood pressure elevates, and sometimes you get that pounding feeling in your heart.

In order to defeat stress and activate the law of attraction in favor of your goals, you need to take a deep breathing break whenever and wherever you are. Do not wait for a specific time or place. If you wait for a specific time or place and stress has already set in, your job of eliminating stress will be a Herculean effort as you will be fighting against the law of attraction at that point.



Post a note on your cell phone memo pad or note pad, or send yourself a text message, that states just one word…breathe. Post sticky notes on your computer or work desk. As you look at your computer sticky notes or cell phone memo pad, take a long slow deep breath.

Inhale very slowly. As you exhale, push all of the tension out of your lungs.

Take two or three long, slow deep breaths. This will cost you nothing in time, however it will create an enormous return on investment in achieving your goals, as you will have your mind and body moving in harmony to employ the law of attraction at work, and at home.

Summary:

The law of attraction is working all of the time for you. Sometimes it works against you, especially in stressful situations. You need to defeat stress before it takes hold. The best method to defeat stress is by focusing on deep breathing during the day, especially when you are not feeling the effects of stress, yet. Post notes around your office and home and begin to breathe deeply as you recognize those notes.

Breathing deeply will move your mind and body together in achieving your goals.

One of the four great fears as it applies to stress and the effects of stress is the "Fear of Failure."

All of us have exerienced failure in our lives. In fact it is very rare when we go after a goal that at some point we fail along the way. Unfortunately, for many of us the fear of failure can keep us from even setting goals in the first place.

I Have to's and I want to's: Core Stress at It's Best

There is a basic type of stress all of us experience on a daily basis.

This stress is called “core stress,” by some psychologists. What core stress refers to is the difference between how you feel when confronted by what you want to do and what you have to do. For example, the statement “I cannot go with you today to the soccer game, because my Father says I have to cut the grass in the yard.” Obviously this person has stress surrounding the job of cutting grass when confronted with another option, “going to the soccer game.”

When you personally experience the difference between what you want to do and what we want to do, our bodies take over in the flight or fight mode. We will either want to run away from the whole experience or we will want to stand and fight. Over a thousand identifiable chemicals are dumped into your bloodstream including epinephrine, (adrenalin) so your entire body is subject to the effects of a racing heart and chemical production you do not really want to experience.

On the flip side of the equation, what happens when you are confronted with an “I want to situation?”

Example: “I want to go to the baseball game.” “My Father said, if I get an offer to go to the big baseball game, go ahead and go to the game.” “I will be able to cut the grass tomorrow.”

When you are in the “I want to” state of mind and body, your body functions normally and is in equilibrium. This is the state of mind and body you want to be in unless your life is severely threatened and you need your flight or fight instinct.


What Can I do About Keeping the Chemicals out of My Bloodstream?

In order to keep your mind and body in harmony and in physiological equilibrium you need to change your “I have to’s” into “I want to’s.”

Once you do that, you will eliminate “core stress” from that social interaction.

For an example: “I am not going with you to the soccer game, because I want to cut the grass today for my Father.” “It is very important for him to have the yard looking nice.” “There will be plenty of soccer games for us to attend in the future.” “I look forward to that time.”

How does this work in my business?

Let us say you are a sales manager rolling out a new compensation program for your sales team.

In-stead of telling your sales team, “You are going to have to sell 10,000 more widgets a month,” thus projecting the “have to” flight or fight response,” say it this way, “You are going “to want” to sell 10,000 more widgets a month in order go receive the top sales bonus.”

Each sales team member needs to rationalize and then internalize, that “I want to sell 10,000 more widgets this month,” rather than, “I have to sell 10,000 more widgets this month.”

Exercise: Exorcising Have To’s

As an exercise note how many times today, you run across a person saying, “I have to” rather than, “I want to.” Jot down the situation surrounding the event and then ask yourself, how can I turn these “I have to’s into I want to’s.”

Then notice in your own conversation, the circumstances surrounding your “I have to’s” that come out of your mouth each day. Turn those into “I want to’s, “by finding positive personal benefits in each instance.

You will find yourself reducing your flight or fight response and the negative physiological effects of the number of those responses.

Summary:

Flight or fight responses emerge from “core stress.” Core stress happens when we are doing or even thinking about things we “have to” do, rather than doing things we “want to” do. By writing down occurrences of “I have to’s” and using positive statements in changing those to “I want to’s,” you can create the physiological equilibrium and harmony you need to enjoy your job and your life.

What is Stress? Flight or Fight

Are you having a magnificent week selling your products and services building your business, and making new friends? I also sincerely wish you enjoy your job and the people you impact each day.

Today we are going explore stress what it is, how it affects you, and we will examine the flight or fight reaction to stress. We need to examine these issues s and get to the root causes of stress to enable you to break the chains that keep you from achieving top business goals.

What is Stress?

The following is a definition from Dictionary.com “1. Stress is a specific response by the body to a stimulus, as fear or pain that disturbs or interferes with the normal physiological equilibrium of an organism. “ ”2. Stress is a physical, mental, or emotional strain or tension.” The following sentence illustrates the definition. “Worry over his job and his wife's health put him under a great stress.”

From definition #1, remember that “fear” initiates a flight or fight response in our bodies. This is where stress becomes real trouble. We have enough fear associated with the selling process and with human relationships. Why add the physiological realities of disturbing our equilibrium? In prehistoric times when the fight or flight response evolved in humans, fight was manifested in aggressive, combative behavior and flight was manifested by fleeing potentially threatening situations, such as being confronted by a dangerous animal. Now, these responses persist, but fight and flight responses have assumed a wider range of behaviors. For example, the fight response may be manifested in angry, argumentative behavior, and the flight response may be manifested through social withdrawal, overeating, obsessive/compulsive behavior, substance abuse, and even television viewing. Now I understand why so many people watch American Idol.

Facts about Stress:

Stress is down right nasty.

Stress in our modern world is totally unnecessary for people to endure.In medical terms, stress is a physical or psychological stimulus that can produce mental or physiological reactions that may lead to illness.

The body reacts to stress first by releasing the catecholamine hormones, epinephrine also known as adrenaline and norepinephrine also known as: noradrenaline, and the glucocorticoid hormones, cortisol and cortisone. One medical research group found that anywhere between 1000 and 1200 identifiable chemicals are dumped into your bloodstream every time the stress response is initiated.*

Sounds like fun? Read further.

Television shows can induce stress.

Recognition of some people can induce stress. Your Mother in Law and your boss can induce stress.

Stress is contagious. If you do not believe me with this statement conduct the following experiment. The next time you are extremely stressed out, go up to your boss and scream as loud as you can at him or her. You will quickly discover as a result of the experiment that stress is contagious.

Here are some additional facts about stress:

You cannot experience stress and deep relaxation at the same exact moment. It is a physical and psychological impossibility.

Stress is transferable…from one activity to the next. You can react to an angry driver who just cut you off the road, and then scream at your spouse who was innocently sitting next to you, when she asks you, “why are you getting angry?”

The effects of stress compound over time like proceeds from a tax-free retirement program.
Stress can be linked to activities, people and things.

Relaxation can be linked to the same activities, people and things, thus reversing the effects of stress.

Stress is parasitic…it associates and attaches itself to non stress behavior and situations. Soon those non stress behaviors become stressful.

Did you ever begin working at a company and really enjoyed the job? But soon disgruntled employees and changing conditions created stress in your body. After a while you begin to dislike your job and you initial a stress response on the way to work or as you are passing through the front door.

The following is a story that demonstrates how eating can induce physical stress.
I remember working at a company where I had an hour to each lunch. One of my fellow employees said; let’s go to a pizza restaurant on the other side of town. It will take us fifteen minutes to get there and fifteen minutes to get back, however, if we all order the special we will be served in about five minutes.

We left our building at 11:30AM to beat the noon crowd and arrived at 11:45 AM . All of us ordered the special in order to get out of there quickly and I know you have already guessed the end of this story. Even though the restaurant was empty when we arrived, our food did not arrive until 12:15 PM . That meant we had to take our order with us and eat pizza slices in the car while wearing our business suits on the way back to the office.

Noon traffic was horrible and we encountered every single stop light from Camelback Road to McDowell Road in Phoenix . We arrived at work exactly ten minutes late. I had pizza stains all over my tie, and business suit. J.C. Penny never smelled so good. If I said my boss was standing at the door waiting for us, tapping his toe by the glass door I know you would think I was making this story up. I cannot tell a lie. My boss was not by the glass door. I found him when I got to my desk located through the door and upstairs. He already had his speech well rehearsed about taking long lunches while he was standing beside my desk.

Boy, was I angry with myself! From that point on I never left the building regardless of where the potential lunch disaster was located. I began feeling the effects of stress any time someone said, “It is time for lunch.”

Story 2 Flight or Fight

In my story, lunch time became associated with fear. I felt the flight or fight reaction to stress. Today, I live in the mountains of Northern Arizona. Here archeologists have discovered many ancient ruins and burial grounds. These experts theorized that the people living in the ancient ruins were hunter gatherers. Ancient peoples grazed. People did not have set times during the day that they ate, they munched on anything found on the ground in bushes, and or in trees as they went along their daily business. You can imagine an ancient man walking though the tall pine forests of Northern Arizona, bending down on the ground to pick up a berries or nuts, testing them a little before putting them in his mouth.

Maybe, ancient man quietly observed squirrels, birds or other mammals eating the berries first so he had reason to believe he would not be harmed eating the same foods. Every day man would leave his cave or dwelling to gather these foods for his mate and his family hiding in the safety of the rocks.

The one day, ancient man, we will call him Bob, leaves his shelter, kisses his wife let us call her Molly, and his baby, we let’s call him Baby Bluto, goodbye and heads down his well worn path through the woods, winding up at an opening near the rapidly flowing creek below.
At the creek he will bring water back in a container he fashioned out of a hollow tree branch. Let’s call this hollow tree a “water stick.”

Now, Bob heads down the path, relaxed, calm and confident ready to accomplish his mission of bringing water back to his family. But this time just as he arrives at the creek a hungry bear spots Bob and thinks Bob would be great to wash down with this cool, and tasty, creek water. Bob spots and bear and instantly his “flight or fight” reaction takes place. Bob stops the blood involved in digesting his the juicy berries he found a few minutes ago on the path and redirects blood to his legs…for flight and his arms…for fight. His body produces adrenalin and his heart beats faster.

Bob chooses flight over fight and sprints like a race horse back to his cave.

The next morning Molly tries to awaken Bob to get more water at the creek. Bob opens his eyes a little, yawns, and then rolls over back asleep. Bob is procrastinating because he is thinking about the bear he may have to confront at the creek. Molly begins punching Bob to get up and he finally rubs his eyes and gets up. Molly tells Bob not to forget his water stick. Bob takes the stick and begins moving it from one side of the cave to the other. Finally, Molly tosses Bob out of the cave entrance where Bob now begins to walk slowly and cautiously toward the creek. Bob doe not feel like picking up any berries, today. He is not hungry. Bob’s heart is beating faster the closer he gets to the creek. His mouth is dry his arms and legs feel heavy. Gone is the calm and confident state of mind and body. In its place is fear. The flight or flight response is beginning to become hard wired to Bob’s brain.

Bob makes it to the creek, slowly and nervously but without incident.
I wonder how many days it will take Bob to get back to the calm and confident water collector he was prior to his bear encounter?

Stress Annihilation Exercise 1.2 Training Your Brain to Reframe

When you are working, do you find certain activities where you move your water stick from one side of the cave to the other?

You have to consciously train your brain to reframe an incident like Bob and the bear. Bob will have to take time to relax and remember all of the times he went down to the creek without incident. Otherwise he will soon build up a conditioned response to walking toward the creek. Soon stress will exhibit its parasitic nature and Bob will experience stress in any direction he travels.

In our lives, how many times do we focus on the bad experiences we have had and forget all of the great experiences we had?

Bob needs to focus on the outcome…keeping his family healthy with plenty of water. Rather then focus on activities. Thinking about the frightening bear he will meet up with on the way fulfilling his goal may prevent him from fulfilling his job of taking care of his family.
When we focus on positive outcomes, improving sales by 40 percent so we can take a relaxing vacation, and continue to support our needs and wants, we take a positive step in conquering procrastination and annihilating stress.

Write this down

1. What activities today do I find myself procrastinating about? What activities do I always put off until later?

2. If you are in sales or an executive in charge of business building, ask yourself, what activities that I am putting off, are valued most by my boss or my company? You may find that the most productive activities from your company’s point of view are the very ones you are trying to avoid. How many bears do I have to avoid today?

Taking Action:

3. Then write a reframing statement and focus on that statement. The statement will include the positive outcome you wish to receive based on overcoming procrastination. The statement will look something like this. “I will take action today.” Each time I find myself procrastinating over an activity, I will complete the task immediately. “I realize that by completing the task I am taking a calm and confident step forward in sustaining life for myself and my family.”
Now if you do not have a family, perhaps your reframing statement will include something you really desire such the prestige of becoming the top sale producer in your company, or winning a sales contest, or earning enough money for a vacation. Your favorable outcome may be more respect from your peers, superiors or the business community.

Summary:

Flight or fight stress reactions have negative effects on our lives. Dumping thousands of chemicals in our bloodstream, the physiological effects of stress can be paralyzing as “procrastination” takes over our minds and bodies.

Your goal is to focus on your positive outcomes by changing the way you think about stress. In this way, you will immediately lessen the effects of stress and annihilate the flight or fight response that is poisoning your mind and body. Like Bob, you will wake up refreshed and begin your productive day avoiding the bears that affect your business and your life.

Article 1: Mapping Your Stress

Mapping your stress involves self-exploration. You are the expert in stress as it applies to you. Before I give you MY definition of the word, “stress” is I want you to tell me how it affects you? What does stress feel like to you?

It is really your experience with stress that is most important at this phase, not mine. Therefore I want you to think about how stress affects you, and then get ready to jot down some questions you need to answer so we both understand what is wrong and how to fix what is wrong.

Exercise #1.1 Feeling What You Feel About Stress

What does stress feel like to you?

Think about this now and write down the following questions. Before you communicate with a single prospect or client today, perform the following exercise.

Take a sheet of paper or write down in a note book or journal the following:

1. This is what stress feels like to me. Now write what stress feels like to you. For example, stress feels like a heavy weight on my back.

2. Write down, how does stress affect me emotionally? For example, I get short with my staff when I am emotionally affected by stress. Are you always calm and steady in your interactions with people while stressed? Do you vent on managers, directors, subordinates, family members, etc? How do you feel emotionally?

3. How is stress affecting my body physically? Do I have headaches, psoriasis, asthma, digestive problems, eating problems, sleep deprivation, back ache, high blood pressure, etc?

Mapping Your Stress

You need to map the effects of your stress to determine what you want to change. Physically, begin thinking about how you feel throughout your body.

Begin with your head and proceed down your body all the way down to your feet.

Now write down the following question, how does stress affect my body?

You will not understand how to annihilate stress until you understand how it feels specifically to you. Only you can determine this. Everyone experiences stress, but some people manifest undesirable emotional and physical conditions.

In the following articles we will uncover some interesting aspects of stress and how the fundamental law of attraction comes into play when annihilating stress and achieving your business and personal goals.

It all begins with your self-analysis, and how stress makes you feel.

You need to feel it before you kill it.

Tip #1 Quick Stress Annihilation Exercise When You are Going to Work

Purpose: To annihilate stress while going to your job or your business. We are not annihilating all stress at this point. We will just chip away at it during this exercise with the result of feeling better during everyday activities. You are just going to change your breathing pattern without regard to what you are thinking about at the time.

It is critical at this time to not think of positive affirmations or happy thoughts. We need to annihilate stress before we can initiate permanent positive change. All I want to do is get you into a pattern of breathing deeply regardless of the ten or twelve thoughts that may be swimming around in your head at the time.

Here is an exercise for walking up to and getting into your car.

As you notice your car in the parking lot, in your garage or in your driveway, begin to take a slow deep breath.

Be sure to breathe from the very depth of your lungs.

You can be walking at your natural speed as you approach your car.

Count to five silently to yourself as you inhale as you breathe in and six through ten as you breathe out. Push any tension out of your lungs.

As you get into your vehicle, again take the ten count breathing exercise. Count to five and breathe in deeply as you turn the key in your ignition and let out your deep breath.

That is the end of your first exercise. Congratulations!

You may ask, What about if I take the train, the El, or the subway, or ride with someone else to work? How do I complete the exercise?

If you are commuting to work, you will be in the process of waiting at a stop or a station. As you approach the bus, cab, train or waiting car, as soon as you identify, your specific mode of transportation, begin the same exercise.

Take a slow deep breath, counting silently from one to five. Then begin letting out your slow deep breath for the count of six through ten. Focus on pushing all the tension out of your lungs.

Walk at your normal pace and think about whatever you wish to think about. Again, this is not the time for positive suggestions or happy thoughts.

They will come later in your stress annihilation training.


Always Remember:

Do not take any more time breathing deeply completing your mission of getting into your car or approaching your bus, cab or training, as you would during your normal day of perhaps not breathing deeply. We want to develop strategies that you can easily integrate into your life in order to get the desire result which is: Annihilate Stress and Propagate Hope.
