EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
An article posted by Dr. Cary Rothenberg, D.C. in his January 2008 newsletter posed the question of potential addictions to stress.  Some general symptoms he noted were
• Better performance under stress
• Better performance related to tight deadlines
• Habitual procrastination
Dr. Rothenberg’s advice?  Deal with stress before physical symptoms occur by first admitting to stress, second identifying it, and finally dealing with underlying causes.

ARTICLE:
I read Dr. Cary Rothenberg’s January 2008 newsletter regarding his thoughts on potential addictions to stress.  It got me thinking.

Ever find yourself procrastinating till the last final moment? 

You started with plenty of lead time but…

The project is now due tomorrow… 

The task is now “do or die”… 

People are now breathing down your neck for your contribution…

You originally had plenty of time to comfortably and leisurely do a great job.

But not now…

Nope…

Now you’re governed by the minute-hand of that clock… each tick brings you closer to deadline and doom. 

But you LOVE it! 

You THRIVE on the pressure!

You actually work BETTER this way…

Truth be known, you actually CREATE this type situation…

The EXCITEMENT…

You find it somehow easier to concentrate…

Nothing exists except completion of this task…

It’s as if you finally created the perfect situation to give yourself permission to ignore all distractions…

Now you HAVE to concentrate in order to make deadline! 

No choice! 

Is this you?

Not once in a while… that happens to everyone…

But if you find that this is your “normal” operating mode, you may want to explore this topic a bit…

Stress can kill… repeated, constant stress can actually create unhealthy mental, PHYSICAL, and emotional disease. 

That’s proven…

So think about this a moment.

Could you be an adrenalin junkie?

A stress addict?

Even though the “Logical You” realizes that you’re pulling your hair out over impossible deadlines that are self-exacerbated - or worse yet, created by your own choice to procrastinate - the fact remains, that you’re running “crazy” to finish this task on time.

Yeah, I know… it’s pure craziness.

Ever wonder what drives some of that “craziness”? 

You start out TRYING your darnedest to “Begin that project”… “Do it now”… “Schedule schedule schedule”… “Keep lists”… All this well-meaning self-advice boomerangs inside your scull like a private symphony!  … (Or is that “cacophony”???)

All YOU know, is that you’re tired of ALL the clichés, right???!!!

In fact, part of you actually THRIVES on the excitement of that looming deadline… the possibility of NOT making it! 

Researchers such as Dr. Joe Dispenza (Rutgers University) and others have conclusively demonstrated that this outa-control “craziness” may not be ONLY all in your head…

Don’t fret more… that’s GOOD NEWS…

The story goes something like this: when you have an experience, your body produces a chemical associated with that experience… sometimes, your body becomes addicted to that chemical… when this happens you may be driven to re-experience whatever might be associated with that chemical in order for your body to greedily get its fix. 

So you see?  You truly might be addicted to stress in a physical sense!  And feeding that addiction may be driving some of your “craziness”.

Doesn’t that make sense?

Now the EVEN BETTER news.

Because that chemical is a “physical” thing, it has an associated resonant frequency.  If the body can be trained and re-educated to deal with the stress of that chemical in a bioresonance session, you may experience release from the “addiction” to adrenaline (or other stressors related to self-created stressful situations).

Now you can choose to train and re-educate the body to deal with the physical, emotional, psychological, and environmental stresses which may be contributing to or exacerbating your addictions to stress - virtually standing between you and that blissful PEACE you so deserve.

Bioresonance offers gentle, noninvasive, chemical-free, protocols to train and re-educate your body to deal with stressors of addiction – even emotional ones.  

Wouldn’t it be great if bioresonance would help you hang onto your sanity while dealing with projects well within deadline?

What a novel concept, huh?

Don’t you owe it to yourself to handle some of the real stresses that might be exacerbating your behavior patterns? 

Hmmmm…. Kinda like a “root cause” solution…

Interested?

Yeah… you can thank me later!  (For now, don’t you have a deadline to meet?)

After you complete that project, let us know what you REALLY think about this.

Today’s Questions:

What’s the most effective thing you do to maintain positive mental health?  How did you discover this?  What stop-gap measures do you use when you feel yourself slipping into a not-so-good emotional space?  What’s your “Plan B” when nothing seems to help?

Dear Friends: 

Did you know that May is Mental Health Awareness Month? 

And for you “foodies”, May 11 is Eat What You Want Day.   

(Yeah…I KNEW you’d like that one… totally depend on me to keep you updated with this kind of earth shattering info!) 

This month, rather than me tell you stuff, I’d like to hear from YOU…  

Tell us about the positive things you do to keep a balanced mental outlook on life… what works for you?  What doesn’t work for you?  What things do you swear by?   

Share the physical, mental, spiritual, emotional tools that you swear by… natural herbs and supplements… things like that… (No drugs, chemicals, illegal, or illicit practices, please….)   

When you feel yourself slipping into a less-than-positive space, what do you do to get yourself out of that?  How effective is it?  What do you do if your “Plan A” doesn’t work? 

This month’s message from me is short, sweet, and directly to the point.  (Ok so I lied about not having a message this month… but it was just a teensy one to get you thinking and sharing your thoughts… can you blame me?!!!) 

Go ahead… take a deep breath… (Oh yeah… remember to let it out…) 

Think pleasant thoughts… (Some of you are grinning…) 

Ready?  Here goes…  

Although at times we may joke about our “senior moments”, Mental Health is a serious issue.   

Your Quantum EPFX Mental Health biofeedback session can be designed to re-educate and train your body to more positively deal with the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual stresses related to your emotional concerns and stressors.

Let me say that again… you may be able to quite literally RE-EDUCATE and TRAIN your body to deal with everyday stresses in a more positive and more healthful way!!! 

And here’s the kicker: It’s non-invasive… No drugs… No pain…No discomfort… Not even any expensive, time-consuming lifestyle changes! 

No kidding!

 Yep!  We’ll get you smiling yet!!! 

Let’s hear from you!    

Continued wishes for a happy and healthy May 2008!

Anxiety Issues? 

Stressed To The Max?       

Ready To Burst Your Seams??? 

Did you know that April is National Anxiety Month and Stress Awareness Month? 

Did you also know that April 16 is National Stress Awareness Day?   

And for you “egg fans” – April 16 is also National Eggs Benedict Day!!   

(Hey! You never know when that kind of information might come in handy… yeah, I know… sometimes I’m a veritable wealth of information!) 

I know we’re all busy, so I’ll just cut to the chase: 

In this day and age, we’re ALL stressed!  Some more than others… some in different ways than others…but generally speaking, our bodies are ALL dealing with stresses on a 24-7 basis!   

We know that stress can adversely affect so much of our balance – mental, physical, emotional, spiritual…  

In fact, some of us are so anxious and stressed we’re practically bursting at the seams…    

Here at Next Wave, we appreciate how this modern world can affect our stress and anxiety levels… 

Unfortunately, as much as we’d like to, we can’t blink it all away. 

So here at Next Wave we’re doing the next best thing to blinking it away… 

Ok so take a deep breath…  

Relax…  

Just for a second or two…  

Go ahead…  It’s ok.  Here at Next Wave, we TOTALLY understand…  

You’re over-worked, under-paid, out of time, stretched to the max… in fact, you’re often anxious and stressed-out beyond belief. 

You finally hit a point, however, where the discomfort of staying anxious and stressed is worse than the effort to do something about it. 

With that in mind, wouldn’t you like to re-educate your body so it can deal with anxiety and stresses in a more positive way?  

Are you aware of Quantum EPFX Advanced Biofeedback Anxiety and Stress Programs?  This may be a start to a whole new paradigm regarding behavioral strategies to help you toward more balanced health. 

Quantum EPFX technology can help re-educate your body to deal with your physical, emotional, psychological, and environmental stress and anxiety concerns!
