Snap Out Of Your Cycle of Stress!

How Stressed-Out Are You?

Each one of you have different levels of resiliency when it comes to dealing with stressors, and what I might find as very stressful (for example coming up with a compelling title for a publisher) you might see as fun and like solving a puzzles!

Take this brief STRESS QUIZ and find out for yourself.

1. Do you feel tired and find yourself having a hard time getting through the day?
2. Do you have trouble sleeping—sleeping too little or too much?
3. Do you often feel restless and find yourself constantly looking for something to do?
4. Do you worry about little things you have no control over throughout your day?
5. Do you get mad and react easily?
6. Do you have repeated neck or headaches?
7. Do you frequently feel overwhelmed, anxious or depressed?

The most important first step in dealing with your stress is to accept and acknowledge that it is your emotional reaction to a situation or event in your life that causes your stress, not the situation itself. The reason I feel stressed-out when asked to come up with a more “exciting” book title is because I want SO MUCH to get my book published and therefore my emotional reaction may be fear that I won’t be able to come up with a compelling and exciting title. This fear, if not dealt with, will feed the cycle of stress with negative thinking…more fear…more negative thinking…and on and on!

I created the Snap Out Of It NOW! Method to help you learn how to interrupt and SNAP Out of your cycle of stress—negative thinking-negative feeling-negative thinking. These negative emotions provoked by your negative self-talk not only cause harm to your relationship with yourself and with others, but they also negatively impact your body’s health and ability to heal. The Snap Out Of It NOW! Method guides you in shifting the state of your body away from disharmony (negative emotions) back to its natural state of harmony!
