Do you find yourself stressed out doing all the marketing things
you need to do for your business?
How would you like to take a one-minute vacation? Do you think
it can help you cope with your challenges each day?
Are you worried about sales, taxes, competition and your work
schedule?
Here is an excellent exercise to help you cope with your workday.
Try it every morning.
Let's see how self-hypnosis and relaxation can help.
The purpose of this section is for you to learn how to relax in
just a few moments.
When you use several of these moments during a typical work or
school day, you will find very wonderful results. Just as it
takes many repetitions of angry moments or stressful periods of
time during the day to build up stress.
It will take many repetitions of calm and peaceful periods of
time to build a perfect "mental vacation."
To begin this vacation you may want to print these directions
out and then either read them aloud to yourself or read them
into a recording device.
When you read them to yourself or into a device, picture
yourself relaxing very deeply while you give yourself these
suggestions. Whenever you see the following symbol, ....., this
will signal you to pause as you read or talk to yourself.
Pause from 20 to 30 seconds at first. After you are finding
yourself relaxing very deeply, you may want to change your pause
to just three or four seconds. Are you ready? Lets see how much
we can really relax using this technique.
My Vacation Begins!
I will begin the relaxation process by focusing in my mind on a
place where I always have total peace..... It may be resting
beside a stream or a lake....
it may be watching the waves on the ocean....
It may be a scene high up in the mountains....
or it may be in the comfort of my own bed.
Whatever I place in my mind I use for my vacation. The image I
find will be the correct one.
As I think about this scene.... my body is relaxing, deeply
relaxing.... All of my muscles are going loose, and limp, and
perfectly relaxed. Each and every deep breath that I take is
relaxing me deeply. Nothing will disturb me during my vacation.
If an emergency happens, I know I can respond very quickly.....
My mind is keenly alert and aware, while my body relaxes,
perfectly.....
I am taking a very deep breath now.....
As I inhale I notice how my chest expands to take in each
cleansing breath.
As I exhale, I notice how all of the tension leaves my
lungs..... I feel good, I feel fine, I feel perfectly and
completely, relaxed..... Nothing will disturb me.
Each and every breath that I take is assisting me in relaxing
deeply, soundly and perfectly.
I am thinking about a place that is very relaxing..... As I
firmly picture that place in my mind, my body relaxes perfectly.
All of my cares are just drifting away.
I may feel myself relaxing in this very calm and peaceful place.
I feel and see and hear and smell this scene of deep,
relaxation. All of my cares are drifting away. I know I can
always bring them back when I want to, but I prefer to let them
drift away..... As my cares are drifting away..... My body
relaxes deeply, soundly and perfectly.....
When I go to bed tonight, I will sleep soundly as well. I will
let all the tension of the day drift off into space. Now I am
ready to emerge from this wonderful state of mind. Whatever was
bothering me before this session will cease to bother me at all.
Whenever I use this exercise, I will find myself relaxing very
quickly and very deeply.
At the count of three, I will emerge from this condition.
One..... Two.....Three..... I am wide awake..... alert..... and
feeling good in every way!
How are you feeling? I hope you are feeling great. This exercise
may take you three to five minutes initially. Read this script
into a tape recorder or other recording device. Use it any time
you desire. The best time to beat stress is before it has a
chance to take hold. Use this exercise before entering those
stressful periods of the day. This will make it harder for
stress to take hold. Then, use it while going through periods of
stress. Finally, use it just after a stressful period.
Once you practice this exercise, you will be able to relax in
just about a minute. Five or ten strategically placed "mental
vacations," will vastly improve your life.
