Controlling The Mind Through Guided Relaxation

Controlling the mind, first requires that you learn to manage your stress. Once you learn to manage your stress you will feel good about who you are. Are you visiting the doctor frequently? Feeling ill most times? Daily you may wander the earth wondering what is your purpose, as you feel hopeless. Stress can weigh you down heavy. However, you have the ability within you to take control and stop that stress right in its tracks. Ultimately, you can allow stress to take control of your life or you can take control of your stress. If not controlled, you will likely need mental counseling, in time, to get a handle on your stress and the damage it can cause on your mental status.

How To Manage Your Stress:

There are numerous ways to manage stress. Take a deep breath. Slow down and "smell the roses" (so to speak). Take a close look inside your mind. Study your life. Do you see demands bearing down on you more than you feel you can handle? If so, do you see ways to ease or remove some of those burdens? Are there resources that can guide you to relaxation by helping you release those demands? Once you have reviewed those demands on you, how's your attitude? Do you have a positive or negative attitude? Can you adjust a negative attitude so that it is more positive? There is scientific proof that positive attitudes make winning people. Are there negative influences in your life? Are you around people who bring you down? If so, can you separate these people from your life and replace them with positive influences?

Now let's look at how stress affects your health. How does stress affect your mental well-being? Next, decide if you need this stress? Do you feel stressed to the point your health and mental status is constantly diminishing? Next, determine if you eat healthy meals? Do you go on junk food binges? If you eat healthily, you should have no problem managing stress. If you go on binges, you need to find ways to control your habits so that you can guide yourself to relaxation.

How Writing Helps You Relax:

One, among your many, resources to relax is writing. Writing is the ultimate tool that can guide you to relaxation. You can write about your feelings, or you can write your autobiography, or you can write fiction works. Whatever you choose, it will help you relax. Who knows, you may even write a best seller.

Writing is a great conduit to guided relaxation when you write to express emotions, which might include anger, fear, joy, concern, and so on. Reread what you write so that you can discover "the you" and what makes you feel stressed.

What You Can Control:

You can control "you". You have the power within you to find what makes you relax. If you cannot discover your powers within, check out resources online to give you new ideas. Look for books, tapes, audios, CDs, videos, as-well-as wallpapers, screensavers, sound effects, and so on, that might help you relax.

Dealing With The Problems:

How you deal with problems is totally up to you. If you have developed good coping mechanisms, then dealing with stress should not be an issue for you. On the other hand, if your coping skills are lacking, you may want to find some learning guides to train your coping mechanisms to work for you. Sometimes you will have to turn to outside sources to build your coping mechanisms. Online you will find lights that help you relax the mind. Use soft lights rather than brilliant lights. The colorful lights often give you a feeling of romance or relaxation. You can find pink rose, black lights, green lights, red lights, and more online.

Finding what works for you is the key, so don't be discouraged if it takes several tries before you discover your answer. Good luck.
