STRESS!
How many times a day do you feel stressed?  Did you know that no matter what happens, you can feel stressed - or not.  We feel stressed because be believe it will somehow give us some power to do something about situations that we may not have control over. Stress, like other emotions, comes from our beliefs.

Yesterday a friend said she was feeling stressed because her doctor's appointment was changed to a later date. She didn't realize she had a choice about how she was going to feel about that.  As I did a mini "Option Dialogue" with her she realized that the stress wasn't about the doctor's appointment being changed, but about her belief that it was unfair to her to change it.  Then I asked her what she believed would happen if she wasn't stressed about the situation, and she said she probably would feel a whole lot better between now and when she actually got to see her doctor.

Stress will not give us power, in fact, it seems to do just the opposite!

I counsel and coach individuals to help them let go of their stress and live happier more enjoyable lives and also create better more loving relationships.
