Excerpt from this free booklet:
Creating a Turnaround
When a significant crisis happens (such as the current economic upheaval that is
affecting so many), our stress tolerance level depletes from the initial shock and
emotional pain. We become overwhelmed which inhibits our capacity to cope. Yet,
it’s completely understandable why we feel the way we do.
In the first phase, it can be helpful to experience and release the emotional buildup
from shock, grief, anger and despair, or to just sit quietly with ourselves in the
privacy of our own pain. After this first phase, however long it takes, eventually we
need to engage in thoughts of self-care and remember our health concerns. Then
we can take some simple steps to start to offset the effects of stress, which will make
our recovery much easier. I understand it’s hard at first, but the simple suggestions
in this booklet can help make it easier to reconnect with our inner strength and
security.
Though we can’t necessarily make our challenges and anxieties suddenly disappear,
we can reset our capacity to maintain more easily. As we take steps to reduce the
stress where we can, it adds strength and clarity for sorting our way through the
more difficult challenges.
Even though things “are as they are,” we can start to make a psychological
turnaround within ourselves, so that excess stress won’t create a downward spiral in
health. We can offset stress with some simple practices that facilitate attitude shifts
and reduce energy drain. This will increase clear thinking as to how we can get the
needed help for ourselves and our families.
When we are experiencing increased stress, it’s often hard to hear some of the
points that can most effectively help us. So in this booklet I will cover in a few
different ways some important themes that I feel could be the most useful.
