Your One Minute Mental
Vacation
Do you find yourself stressed out doing all the marketing
things you
need?
How would you like to take a one-minute vacation? Do you think
it can
help you cope with your challenges each day?
Are you worried about sales, taxes, competition and your
work
schedule?
Here is an excellent exercise to help you cope with your
workday.
Try it every morning.
Let us see how self-hypnosis and relaxation can help.
The purpose of this section is for you to learn how to relax in
just
a few moments.
When you use several of these moments during a typical work or
school
day, you will find very wonderful results.
Just as it takes many repetitions of angry moments or
stressful
periods during the day to build up stress, it will take
many
repetitions of calm and peaceful periods to build a perfect,
"mental
vacation."
To begin this vacation you may want to print these directions
out and
then either read them aloud to yourself or read them into
your
recording equipment.
When you read them to yourself or into your recording
equipment,
picture yourself relaxing very deeply while you give yourself
these
suggestions.
Pause for 1 or 2 seconds at the end of each sentence.
Are you ready? Lets see how much we can really relax using
this
technique.
>>>>>My Vacation
Begins<<<<<
I will begin the relaxation process by focusing in my mind on
a
place, where I always find total peace.
It may be resting beside a stream or a lake.
It may be watching the waves on the ocean.
It may be a scene high up in the mountains.
On the other hand, it may be in the comfort of my own
bed.
Whatever I place in my mind I use for my vacation.
The image I find will be the correct one.
As I think about this scene, my body is relaxing, deeply
relaxing.
All of my muscles are going loose, limp, and perfectly
relaxed.
Each deep breath that I take is relaxing me deeply.
Nothing will disturb me during my vacation. If an emergency
happens,
I know I can respond very quickly.
My mind is keenly alert and aware, while my body relaxes,
perfectly.
I am taking a very deep breath now.
As I inhale, I notice how my chest expands to take in each
cleansing
breath.
As I exhale, I notice how all of the tension leaves my
lungs.
I feel good, I feel fine, I feel perfectly and completely,
relaxed.
Nothing will disturb me.
Each breath that I take is assisting me in relaxing deeply,
soundly
and perfectly.
I am thinking about a place that is very relaxing.
As I firmly picture that place in my mind, my body relaxes
perfectly.
All of my cares are just drifting away.
I may feel myself relaxing in this very calm and peaceful
place.
I feel, see, hear, and smell this scene of deep,
relaxation.
All of my cares are drifting away. I know I can always bring
them
back.
I prefer to let them drift away.
As my cares are drifting away, my body relaxes deeply, soundly
and
perfectly.
When I go to bed tonight, I will sleep soundly as well.
I will let all the tension of the day drift off into
space.
Now I am ready to emerge from this wonderful state of
mind.
Whatever was bothering me before this session will cease to
bother me
at all.
Whenever I use this exercise, I will find myself relaxing
very
quickly.
At the count of three, I will emerge from this condition. One,
Two,
Three,
I am wide awake, alert, and feeling good in every way!
How are you feeling? I hope you are feeling great.
This exercise may take you three to five minutes
initially.
Read this script into a tape recorder or other recording
device.
Use it any time you desire.
The best time to beat stress is before it has a chance to take
hold.
Use this exercise before entering those stressful periods of
the day.
This will make it harder for stress to take hold.
Then, use it while going through periods of stress.
Finally, use it just after a stressful period.
Once you practice this exercise, you will be able to relax
in
Just about a minute.
Five or ten strategically placed "mental vacations," will
vastly
improve your life.
