What didn't work for me, I had to start searching for things that did. It led me on a path of learning about relaxation to where I am today. <br /><br />Bodywork (like massage - especially the work that takes you deep into yourself) can be very helpful. Things like Yoga, Tai Chi, QiGong can also help. Just stopping in your day and resting is good.<br /><br />I had to identify where my stress was coming from and then begin to change it. Stress literally shows up in the body as tension or pain or other health conditions.<br /><br />Reach out to people in your local area and get the help you need and deserve. You will have to start the ball rolling, but in order to move out of this, we have to take notice of where we are at and get to the point that we need to find a better way - then seek it out with all the strength and energy you have.Don Shetterly - Relaxing Piano Musichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10127640545301835657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-567475060382733569.post-79531046182287359292015-06-13T11:07:18.840-04:002015-06-13T11:07:18.840-04:00Hello.

If you add to that extra stress, it can just compound the problem. Getting in touch with your body and learning how to let go of stress/tension in it through bodywork and relaxation is the starting point.

It isn't always easy, but the possibility does exist. I've seen it happen in myself and others many times over. I'm not suggesting though that it is a simple thing, but once someone begins to understand this process, it gets much more simple. In the beginning, it is a struggle. Just stay open to the possibility, because it is there.Don Shetterly - Relaxing Piano Musichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10127640545301835657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-567475060382733569.post-82988451524699027982013-03-07T15:42:30.305-05:002013-03-07T15:42:30.305-05:00I agree and thats fine for the problems we know of...I agree and thats fine for the problems we know of, but if you have done councelling and faced all you know, its what is in the unconcious that we cannot remember, so facing the fears is not possible. Plus if you are stressed and know what the problem is and do your best internally to re appraise the situation to the best of your control, you can still be tense. It is not as simple as you are suggesting.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08532944172717957964noreply@blogger.com
