So Many People are Having this Problem
Do you have too much to do? Does some of it seem out of your control, due to the demands of your workplace?
Having Multiple Functions Makes Matters Even Worse
Are you a nurse who is stretched too thin? Given too many patients to take care of? Perhaps having to serve additional functions, like scrounging for supplies because those who should be bringing them are out sick?
Are you a teacher who is struggling to deal with the combination or alternation of in-school and virtual students? Do you find yourself serving additional functions, such as being your students' social worker?
I remember the days in which I had the multiple functions of treating patients and being the mother of young children. What should I do when I'm in the office and get a phone call that one of my kids is sick? Back in those days, before I knew about self-hypnosis and what it can do for you, I felt very stressed in those situations.
How Can Self-hypnosis Help with an External Problem?
So, how can using self-hypnosis help when the problem is not within one's mind, but stems from an external source? It's not that you have an unfortunate habit of taking on too much, being a perfectionist, or giving in to every request for help. It's the environment, the workplace, that is creating the problem.
In our past, and especially in our early childhood, we all have had experiences that were anxiety-provoking, and the memories of these episodes remain in reservoirs in our minds. A current feeling of anxiety, because it is associatively related, will serve as a trigger to activate the past memories of anxiety and they will contribute to the present feeling. So, the more anxiety you have experienced in the past, the greater the degree of anxiety you will feel now.
The same holds true for episodes of sadness, and of irritation or anger. The more instances of these feelings we had in the past, the more powerfully we will feel them now as they get triggered by our current experiences of them.
But if we use self-hypnosis, as described in the Emotional Comfort® Tool, we can wish for and expect moments of peacefulness and calm. The new mental pathway that we have created for that purpose can reduce an uncomfortable feeling that has been magnified by past experiences and cut it down to size. It won't be abolished, but it will be greatly lessened.
