Sick Nite on FlickrDoes this sound a little drastic? How you handle stress determines the state of your health!

Consider this:

Most medical researchers and practitioners today agree that stress does play a big role in your health. However, it is really not so much the stress that affects your body, but how you and I handle that stress.

Stress is very much a part of life, especially in this modern world in which we live. It is unavoidable, BUT you and I CAN avoid allowing these pressures to control our lives and our bodies.

How you handle stress depends on your mindset.
With a strong mindset of faith, it will always be easier to face life’s difficulties with a positive attitude. Your mind will then be clearer to look for solutions rather than dwelling on the problem and the stress.

When your mind is clear, alert and focused on seeking solutions and instead of focusing on the problem, then your mind is operating as a gatekeeper to your emotions and your body.

It is very interesting to note that in the book of Proverbs in the Bible we find a verse that says:
For as he thinks in his hearth so is he. (Proverbs 23:7)

If you look into the Hebrew word that is translated as “thinks” you will find that this word comes from a root word which means “to act as a gate keeper”. Very interesting right?

Yes your mind is the gatekeeper!

Your mind is created to protect your emotions and your body.

Conclusion? YOU decide how much stress will affect your emotions and your body. It all depends on:

Your focus –
Focus on looking for solutions and it will be easier to think clearer and positively.
Focus on the problem and your mind will sink into depression which means the “gatekeeper” goes off duty and your emotions and body can be touched by the stress.

  • Mindset is a result of what you focus on.
  • Focus is a result of decision (your will should always be in control).

JillHow active is your gatekeeper to protect your emotions and your body today?

If you have extreme stress, use it – don’t let it use you. Tony Robbins.

22 May 2010 When There Is No Way Out
Author:  |  Topic: Determination, Obstacles  | Tags: , , , , ,  | Leave a Comment

Caged inWhat do you do when you find yourself cornered into a difficult situation where there seems to be no way out?

Obstacles are a part of life, especially for those who have decided to take action and pursue their dreams and life purpose.

There is a purpose for you inside of the most difficult situation, even though it may seem there is no way out.

Every obstacle offers you the opportunity to show your earnestness, determination and relentlessness in your pursuit of your dreams.

  • How much do you REALLY want to achieve your dreams?
  • Are you prepared to achieve them at any cost?
  • Tony Robbins is quoted as saying: “Those who are relentless find a way”.

Finding your way out of a difficult situation can only strengthen your determination, character and your vision. The result will always be growth!

The dictionary defines the word relentless as “not to be appeased by treaty, grim determination, not to be placated – showing no signs of slackening or yielding in one’s purpose.”

Now that is determination personified right?

“Not to be appeased by treaty” No one and nothing can talk you out of your pursuit or offer you anything that will distract you.

Remember the English sport of Fox Hunting. The fox hound is trained to stay FOCUSED on the fox. Even though a juicy rabbit may cross it’s path while it is pursing the fox, a well trained hound will NOT be distracted.

“Grim determination” This is a phrase that is used to describe a laser focused determination. This is certainly the kind of determination that the fox hound displays. It CANNOT be distracted nor can it be discouraged!

Not to be placated. No one can change your mind about your goals. They may seem impossible to those around you. People may scoff, and try to lower you to their “reason”, especially when you are facing an obstacle that may seem impossible to overcome.

But you will not listen to reason. You will only listen to your dream!

Showing no signs of slackening or yielding in one’s purpose. You are tireless with no signs of giving up.

So many people give up just a few days, hours or worse still – minutes before they could have achieved victory! But you are not one of those! You are a tireless champion who WILL achieve the success you are aiming at.

How you react or act when obstacles cross your path will prove just how strong your desire to achieve your dreams really is.

JillHow relentless are you in the pursuit of your dreams?
