Happy Thanksgiving my dear friend...
Destressing your hurry is what I'd like to write about this day...
How are you doing?
Praying you are grateful and thankful this day.
The next item on the stress test is, are you in a hurry?
You may recognize right away that you are always in a hurry or you may not even realize that you are. The number one sign of stress is denial, which means you believe everything is alright when in fact, you and your family are suffering. The suffering I am talking about is not enjoying life, and/or living with anxiety, which is detrimental to health. Most of all, anxiety is detrimental to children in the house hold because they are conditioned up in it, and causes great distress in the future.
But, if everything is alright that's cool. But if it's not, you, and your families happiness, health, relationships, and wealth may be at stake.
How do you know if you are in denial, and need to destress your hurry, which I call the hurry up disease.
In my book, How to Destress Via Stress Test & Stress Relief, I discuss the possible problems caused by always being in a hurry, and some solutions.
What I'd like to discuss a little more is how does one know if he or she is always in a hurry. Allow me to ask some questions so that you may discover for yourself if you have the hurry up disease.
Do you know how to relax? This is huge. If you do not know how to relax, or you think you need a vacation to relax but can't even relax on your vacation, you probably have the hurry up disease.
Do you jump out of bed in the morning with the attitude that you have so many things to get done?
Do you say to anyone, in your head or out loud, "Hurry up?"
Are you always late because your schedule is full? Or do you always say you're busy? If the answer is yes to either, you may have the hurry up disease.
I understand that you may have excuses that you call reasons, and that's fine, the only thing about that is it doesn't relieve the problem of the hurry up. It doesn't relieve the issues of potential dangers to you or your families happiness, or health. It does, however, sustain denial.
So, I have an experiment for you. Whether you believe you do or don't have the hurry up disease, try this...
Just intentionally notice if you are in a hurry.
Today, tell yourself that you are going to observe, to make sure, you do or don't move your life in a state of hurry.
Just notice it.
Just observe it.
If you do find that you are in a hurry, I'd just like to suggest that you may want to do something to remedy it so that you may prevent illness, or injury.
The hurry up disease is a form of stress, aka strain, on the emotional, mental, and physical state of being.
The hurry up disease also allows for accidents to happen because of the state of urgency and lack of focus, aka as paying attention to what you are doing.
The hurry up disease also sustains thoughtless behavior, which leads to regrets.
The most important thing is your happiness, which leads to health, love, good relationships, and wealth.
The solution to destressing your hurry is to practice relaxation into permanence so that you can be calm, confident, and relaxed no matter where you are or what you are doing.
Practice is the greatest form of conditioning, and we are habitual beings by way of conditioning what we practice no matter if it's anxiety, hurry up, or calmness.

DESTRESSING YOUR ANXIETY
Hello my friend! How are you? I hope you are very happy!
Yesterday, I shopped all day during Black Friday. Boy did I have fun. The first line I stood in, in front of a store at 6 a.m., I chatted with a handsome young man. Another line I stood in, inside a store at around 2 p.m., I chatted with a young girl, who happened to be standing in line for her Mother. I told her that she should charge her Mother a fee, he he he. It turned out to be a really great day, I got a lot of deals, and a lot of Christmas shopping done.
Although yesterday was great fun for me, there seemed to be a lot of angry and anxious people. In my younger years, I gotta admit, there were times that I was really angry, and really anxious but somewhere along my life, I decided to not be either anymore. Oh sure, I have my moments, briefly every once in a while. ;-)
What I was noticing yesterday, was people were radiating anxiety. Some people just live there life with anxiety and do not even know it. Some people live there life with anxiety and don't even know that they don't have to. We really do have a choice whether we are happy or sad, calm or anxious, easy-going or angry.
No one ever told me that I had a choice, I just figured it out one day. I don't remember the exact day but I do know that I have always had the attitude that if I wanted to be happy it was no one's responsibility but mine. Maybe that is why I am not married. Oh well, he he he.
Sometimes when I see an anxious person, I want to just go up and hug them and tell them everything will be okay, don't worry, and be happy.
If you have anxiety, or are always anxious, you are living with a very stressful habit. Stress is the number one cause of ALL illnesses.
Emotional signs and symptoms of anxiety may include anger, anxiousness, fear, frustration, the inability to feel calm, irritability, feeling overwhelmed, the inability to relax, restlessness, and unhappiness.
Mental signs and symptoms of anxiety may include the inability to concentrate, the inability to focus, indecisiveness, a racing mind, and thinking the worst is going to happen.
Physical signs and symptoms of anxiety include abdominal problems, backaches, chest pain, diarrhea, dizziness, fatigue, headaches, insomnia, nausea, neck aches, racing heart, shortness of breath, sweating, and twitches.
The list of signs and symptoms of anxiety goes on and on and as you can see, it is very unhealthy.
Anxiety manifests it's ugly little self through signs and symptoms, especially illnesses.
So what do you do if you are anxious? First, you must educate yourself. When you learn your signs and symptoms of anxiety then you can overcome them. Then you can learn to relax when you notice these signs and symptoms of yours, and get so good at relaxing that you can do it anytime and anywhere.
I truly believe that if you are an anxious person it is part of your personality therefore, probably a habit. When you Destress Yourself, you discover your stressful habits and replace them with successful ones. With the stressful habit of anxiety, it can be replaced with the successful habit of being calm and relaxing.
It is not necessary to live life without happiness, energy, and vitality, I believe that with all my heart and soul, and if you have anxiety, chances are you are not happy, you don't have energy, or vitality for life.
You can change your life! You got the power! I believe in you!
Have a great day, and don't forget to have fun and be playful.
