STRESS

 ARTICLE…
These articles are all from personal experience - relating to the
different experiences I have had with stress over the years.
The truth is that I have read many, many articles on stress over
the years.
I remember in the months after I left university starting a new job
in sales.
It was not the job I wanted but had applied to the areas I did
want and not succeeded in getting a job. The stress of no money got
the better of me.
But once I started the job, boy, did I need stress relief! Before
going in the doors each day I had to psyche myself up.
My job was to make 50 cold calls a day and on average I made
one sale a week. That made for a whole lot of rejection and a whole
lot of stress!
Cont..
It was around this time that I started to digest articles
about stress and stress management. I read Deepak Chopra,
the Dalai Lama, Louise Hay, Susan Jeffers, meditation books,
relaxation books, new age books…
I wanted to learn some way of managing my stress. And it
started to work, my stress levels decreased.
But I remember being in a pub after work one day
holding a book by Louise Hay. One of my colleagues asked what
I was reading, “You too can heal your life,” I replied. The look
she gave me lives with me still! Her jaw dropped and I don’t
think she ever spoke to me again! Salesmen didn’t read that
type of thing!
So these articles are my own personal experience over
the years and a lot of the information that I have digested.
