Discover How Hallucination Is A Powerful Method To Gain Control Over Your Stress In Under 5 minutes
Possibly the most misunderstood part of stress management is
your role in it.
Those who respond to life with negativity or anxiety as most
likely to deal with the physical affects of anger, guilt,
nervousness, frustration and fear.
These emotions can cause hypertension and high blood pressure,
which can lead to heart attack or stroke. Other complications
include ulcers, arthritis, asthma, high cholesterol and kidney
disease.
People who tend to focus on themselves as the controller of
their fate - in fact 'self-motivated' - are more likely to feel
a sense of control when stressors affect them. Instead of
blaming something or someone else they have the motivation to
deal with a problem and look for a reasonable solution.
This may have to do with how you organize the images in your
brain. Basically your brain records all your senses all the
time. Since your vision is important imagery is a very important
part of how your brain thinks.
So the brain thinks in images. Our memories are collections of
images. The interesting thing is, we actually have the power to
control or change those images. By changing our images we can
change/control our states.
Think of a time when you felt some stress. Make this memory as
vivid as you can. If you can imagine a time when you were
stressed and feel those feelings now. You are 'hallucinating' as
that situation exists in the past, not now. You have to recreate
or 'hallucinate' the conditions to feel stressed.
Hallucination is normal. We do it all the time. When you think
of that situation with an ex that happened 5 years ago and get
angry or recall or memory that makes you all mushy. You are
vividly recreating an event that has ceased to exist. In other
words you are hallucinating in a controlled manner.
Ask yourself, "How can I use this knowledge about hallucination
for stress management?
Think of a time when

you felt challenged but confident that you
will succeed. Pick even a small event and hallucinate in
vividly. Feel the feelings you felt then, now.
Here's the fun part. Go back to the time you felt stressed and
notice what details your mind is focused on. Particularly what
you saw, heard, felt etc. in detail. Do the same for the time
you felt good and notice how these hallucinations are different
from each other.
Maybe in the stress hallucination you feel pressure around
you(with the world closing in) while when feeling confident you
don't. Maybe you say negative thoughts to yourself while in
stress and when not, you think of nice things.
Pay careful attention to these next words.
If you take the components of the stressful hallucination (size,
feelings sounds etc.) and switch it with the more positive one
you will feel better automatically.
This has to do with how your brain organizes your thoughts.
Happy thoughts are kept in one area and sad thoughts in another.
If you use the happy thoughts way of perceiving things, then
that's how you will feel.
It can take you up to 5 minutes to get the feel for the process.
Once you know how to change your stressful hallucinations to
positive ones you can do it anytime anywhere.
The ability to choose our thoughts, to think what we want, is
what gives us the power to determine our attitude and
perspective when approaching a problem.
If we allow stress, anger and frustration to consume us, it can
be like a runaway train gathering steam and threatening to
derail. All you got to do is stop fueling the fire and the train
will slow down.
