What To Do When You're Stressed

This is a fantastic tip from Touch For Health to aid you when you're stressed, angry, anxious or upset. Attempt holding your frontal eminences. These are bumps on your forehead that a lot of persons hold instinctively when they're upset.

For those of you who don't do this of course, let me aid you locate them. Feel up from the middle of your eyebrows going towards your hairline. Your forehead comes outwards before it curves back in towards the hairline. Hold your forehead at the points where it is furthest out - with regards to 3cms (1. 25 inches) above the middle of every eyebrow.

While you hold these points think with regards to the stressful event. It may be something that has already happened, something that is with regards to to happen, or something you fear may never happen! Gradually you should find that the stress lessens.

You may use it for little things, but you may also use it for more traumatic events too. If the thoughts/images are too overpowering initially, imagine you are watching it on a TV - you may always switch it off If becomes too stressful - you're the one in charge. You may watch it in black and white whether or not that feels more comfortable too. Use it to defuse anything that you feel anxious, stressed, angry or fearful with regards to.

You may want to do it various times covering different distinct features of the problem. You may do them one after the other, or at different times, whichever feels best for you.

As you hold the points and think about/imagine the event, you will in all probability begin to feel calmer - you may even find that you begin to feel a little bored thinking with regards to this scenario that antecedently stressed or angered you such a lot.

Why does it work?

These queer points on the forehead, known as frontal eminences, are reflex points with connections to the central meridian (involved with the brain), the stomach meridian (and your stomach often churns when you're anxious or angry), and the bladder meridian (trips to the loo/bathroom are often necessary when we're apprehensive).

As of late i explained this self-aid technique to a business colleague - a keen mountain biker who'd had a serious bike accident at 30 miles an hour and had broken his skull and collar bone. His bones had mended, but he was now now and again fearful of the sport he loved.

This is what he wrote to me later:

"I don't know how to thank you enough for the technique you described to me over the phone the other day, it helped me enormously! "

The next week he sent me this message:

"Your tip worked once again last night - went out (in the pitch black with my Light&Motion 'daylighter' light) and did a lot of serious single-tracking and downhilling! ! ! I never thought I'd be doing that again - ever! Thank you such a lot! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! It was brilliant! ! ! ! ! ! ! "

It may be hard to believe that something this simple could be efficacious at removing anxiety and stress, but try it and see.
