Stress (Part IV)

Previous

A common problem in the industrialised world is the traffic jam. A lot of people see them as horrible, terrible and awful.

They are allowed to get into a gridlock and it just blocks them up and messes them up for the rest of the day.

One of the skills we can develop is a cognitive technique called ’Reframing.’ The reframing technique allows us to alter our perceptions of an event.

Perception is reality and that means of course the way you see the world has a lot to do with the chemistry of your body, has a lot to do with the kinds of prescriptions your brain is writing for your body.

If you see it as filled with what we call the F.U.D factor (Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt). The n you are going to kick up on a lot of the high energy stress chemicals which will be turned inward, not outward.

On the other hand, if you see things as N.I.C.E. (New, Interesting, Challenges & Experiences) then you will have a different kind of chemistry.

It really doesn’t make any difference how many hours you work in a day. You can work 10 hours in a day, if you enjoy what you’re doing. But you could work only 3 hours a day. If you hate what you are doing. That perception will change your body chemistry.
