Stress
Tests
Here
is a stress management technique recommended in all the latest
psychological texts:
Picture
yourself near a stream. Birds are softly chirping in the crisp,
cool, mountain air. No one knows your secret place. You are in
total seclusion from that hectic place called "the world".
The soothing sound of a gentle waterfall fills the air with a
cascade of serenity. The water is clear. You can easily make out
the face of the person you're holding under the water...
There
now.....
feeling
better?
Last
week a friend of mine went to a seminar called *Stress and Disease
by Dr. Nickolas Hall, an expert in psychobiology. He gave an example
of a coping skill for job stress that I would like to share with
you.
When
you have had one of those TAKE THIS JOB AND SHOVE IT days, try
this. On your way home after work, stop at your pharmacy and go
to the section where they have thermometers. You will need to
purchase a rectal thermometer made by *Q-Tip. Be very sure that
you get this brand.
When
you get home, lock your doors, draw the drapes, and disconnect
the phone so you will not be disturbed during your therapy. Change
to very comfortable clothing, such as a sweat suit and lie down
on your bed. Open the package containing the thermometer and remove
the thermometer and carefully place it on the bedside table so
that it will not become chipped or broken.
Take
the written material that accompanies the thermometer and as you
read it you will notice in small print the statement that *every
rectal thermometer made by Q-Tip is PERSONALLY tested.
Now
close your eyes and say out loud five times, ‘I am so glad
that I do not work in quality control at the Q-Tip Company.’
