Reduce Holiday Stress and Worry

By Tamara Shadday | December 23, 2010

The holidays are a wonderful time of year that can also turn into stress related issues like financial worries, sleepless nights, anxiousness, fear, and sadness. Between the joyous times with friends, you also have a list of holiday decorating, planning parties, family get-togethers, shopping and exchanging those perfect gifts. Do you wish there was a natural way to effectively stop the stress and anxiousness and enjoy the holidays. There is – through hypnosis.

Hypnosis is something we all experience, though we don’t call it by that name. Think to a time you were deeply involved in a TV program and didn’t hear the phone ringing or people around you. That is similar to what you would experience in hypnosis. It’s a state of relaxation and focused concentration.

It is a highly effective method for reducing emotional issues, such as stress, anxiousness and fear. Hypnosis helps to relax your mind and body by reducing the effects of the emotional stressors from past holiday experiences. Your hypnotist will guide you into a deep trance state of complete relaxation.

You will also learn self-hypnosis to learn how to handle these difficult situations. In between sessions, you can use it to help yourself reduce overwhelming feelings. The more you practice, the more effective and easier it becomes.

Think about your list of things to do this week. What tops your list? Most of us plan our week by packing the extra holiday activities amid our regular must-do things, like work, school, housework and family. It becomes overwhelming. Your thoughts might turn to how you’ll get everything finished. You start worrying about money for gifts or dreading the obligatory office party.

When you think of your holiday plans, what makes you instantly stressed? Everyone experiences stress, and a little of it motivates us to complete tasks. If you feel continuing stress over a prolonged period, your body continues to react. Instead of inspiring you to finish tasks, you feel overwhelmed. Extended stress puts your physical and mental well-being at risk. The good news is that you can reduce it so you feel better.

It’s important to put yourself at the top of your to-do list. Make your well-being a priority. Find a trained hypnotist to help you reduce stress. Practice self-hypnosis on a daily basis. If you can manage the stress, you will have more energy and a positive mindset. Isn’t that a better way to experience the holidays? Wouldn’t it be wonderful to enjoy this time of year?
