INTRODUCTION- When our attention is in the present moment we are not holding onto any stress in the body, heart or mind. It also breaks any stress loops, making us feel more alive.

STUDY:

The wonderful way the human brain is constructed allows for:

* events and their associate emotions of the past to be remembered

* experience of body, heart and mind in the present moment

* expectations, thoughts and concerns about the future

 

But often we get caught in the stressful looping of thoughts and emotions. We call these Stress Loops. They are caused by emotional memories of the past and/or anxious thoughts about the future. The stress loops will grow stronger if they are not broken. They have a negative effect on the body and brain.

The simplest way to break these stress loops is to bring our attention back into the present moment. The sensations of the body are always only happening in the present moment. We naturally release stress when we breath deeply and completly and feel the grounding sensations of the body. Remembering to be more present by Stopping & Dropping requires practice.

Study Materials:

• INNER Stress Management (manual)
• The 3 Nerve Pathways
• Human Needs
• Anxiety

APPLY

The more often we Stop & Drop, the more the nervous & hormonal systems come back into balance. Rather then being controlled from the emotion 2nd brain, all the parts of the brain came be more clearly be used. This allows for the cause of stressor to be investigate and understood. The more we understand about our own nature and the stressor the less stress we will produce.
