Stress Management Tips

Tip One

ESR, or Emotional Stress Release is a Kinesiology techniqueyou can use anytime you feel stressed.

Place your hand gently on your forehead. You will covermost of your forehead above the eyes with one or both hands.Feel energy and warmth in your forehead. Consciously deciding to go forebrain allows energy andcirculation to come back to the frontal area where you areable to think.

Your hand is always with you. Put it to your foreheadwhenever you feel stressed and you will be surprised at thecreative solutions that pop up. Youll be calmer and muchmore able to be in charge of what you say and do. Yourrelationships will improve and you will become moreeffective in your life.

Tip Two

Place your hand over your heart area, breathe gently intothe area of your heart. Breathe for at least 5 fullbreaths. Imagine a soft warm feeling, you can give it a colour, andlet it grow and expand. Remember a time when you were kind to someone else or toyourself.Spend a moment to ask your heart if there is anything tounderstand that you didnt see or feel before. Ask How can I respond to this challenge and help createthe best possible outcome? What if I base my response on myability to love and be kind?

Tip Number 3

Breathe deeply and fully for 5 breaths and then slow downyour breathing. Your brain is fooled into believing that the danger is overand it allows you to get back to life in the present.Imagine a positive outcome or see yourself responding tothe challenge with positive action and understanding. Askyourself: If I tune into my inner wisdom, what message isit giving to me?
