Best Sellers: Reverse Therapy for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia Career Focus: Author, Therapist, Coach, Speaker, Trainer, Business owner Affiliation: Reverse Therapy Ltd Here's how your thoughts can make you ill:
1 You notice you are anxious. Your head says: 'I am cracking up. I can't cope' 2 You notice you are sad. Your head says: 'I am so depressed I can't go on like this.' 3 You notice you are fatigued. Your head says: 'My M.E. is back. I have to go to bed.' 4 You notice you are restless. Your head says: 'I must have a drink. I can't hold out any longer.'
Like someone under hypnosis, we leap from particular sensations to global conclusions. We self-talk ourselves into trance through the suggestions we give ourselves. And the result is an action performed under post-hypnotic suggestion - panicking, running away, or alcohol abuse.
If this happens to you, you could try these alternatives for a different result: 1. My body is using up a lot of adrenalin. Time to chill out. 2. I am sad. Time to be gentle with myself. 3. My body is trying to get my attention to something. Time to do something about my real needs. 4. I am restless. Time to practice awareness and stay grounded in the moment.
The contemplative life is often miserable. One must act more, think less, and not watch oneself live. Chamfort. Once conform, once do what others do because they do it, and a kind of lethargy steals over all the finer senses of the soul. Montaigne Once people find God they cease to be human beings. Erich Maria Remarque.
