Think Write is a means of ordering yourself. With stress increasing, intelligence gets reduced. Often in stressful situations, choices are made that are not good. Stress can create headaches, increased depression, heartburn, create shallow breathing, blood sugar spikes, and many other things.
Excited State
This excited state of stress is not good for the body. I’m now going to tell you how you can remove stress from your body and more your mind. The mind when it’s in a stressful situation, it leaps from assessment to conclusion in the twinkling of an eye. The tongue is as fast and it can be quick and it can be cutting.
Here is a path to reorganizing to relaxing your mind. To relieve some of the stress that you might be experiencing today. To allow you to become more thoughtful, being the cool head, you get to be the reasonable person, a leader, and not a reactor.
Here’s the method to solve this, and we have the luxury of time, so this works very well. Take the idea that is causing you the stress and to write it out on a piece of paper.
Alleviate Anxiety
I don’t care how long, I don’t care how big, or however you want to go about it, but write it out. Of course, that process alleviates some of the anxiety. But here’s the technique that’s going to change everything at a deep and profound level. Once you’re done go back and cross out all the emotional words all the adjectives, all the adverbs, everything that is designed to intensify.
Sounds Kooky
Then when you’re done go back and read what you’ve written without those emotional words. Do your words still make sense? You are going to want to throw those emotional words back into what you’ve written, it’s only natural. But if you keep them out of the document that you’ve written what have you got? Does it still stand the test? Does it look kind of kooky? Does it seem unreasonable? And if it does, then it isn’t valid. Or at least it requires a retooling
Emotional Creatures
We are emotional creatures we infect each other with emotions. It’s a good thing but like anything else, it can be a bad thing as well. So, let’s go ahead and be the thoughtful person. Let’s be the cool head, let’s be the responsible person, let’s be the leader and understand what we are infecting those around us with. What is that emotion? Is it good, is it reasoned or something less desirable?
