In a hurry get stress relief. Does this sound familiar to you? Searching for stress relief while you are rushing around on a daily basic can be frustrating. However, when you learn how to slow down you may discover a very important lesson.

Let me explain

Mary was rushing around like a chicken that had lost its head. She sought my help in finding more time to have fun in her busy schedule. I reviewed her week to see what were the highs and the lows of her experiences for the week. Mary shared two important lessons with me.

Lesson one

Mary now understands what it means to rush. Mary explained that she used to rush to go to the bathroom, rush to brush her teeth, rush to comb her hair and rush to make love. Mary also stated that she not could sensibly explain her rushing around, although for many months she expected me to give her a logical explanation. I was curious to know what the difference that made the difference was.

Lesson two

Mary explained that she had been operating on automatic and blinded to the idea of taking a break. She felt she was taking a break in her stressful frustrated state. Her regular practice of relaxation and meditation has helped change her perspective.

The new insight she now receives on a regular basic from meditation has given her more time and energy to have fun. Now that Mary has changed he rview she admits that all these activities (rushing to go to the bathroom, rushing to brush her teeth, rushing to comb her hair and rushing to make love) used to be done in a stressful state.

How did Mary discover that she needed stress relief?

It is important to note that Mary did not realize that she was stressed out. The way she operated was normal to her. However, the insights that Mary got from meditating on a regular basic were all the proof that she needed to convince her that she was in a constant hurry.

So what is the moral of the story?

You may be aware that a friend or love one needs help. However, until that person admits that they have a “problem” and is willing to get help, you cannot help them.

You can get less stress and find more time for you and your family when you put
yourself first.

Let me explain

Mary was searching desperately to find more time to get less stress
but all she could see was more and more stress. So I asked Mary what she
did during the week to find this elusive stress relief.

Here are her answers:

I merely fed the answers back to Mary, to give her a different perspective on stress relief.

1. Visited a friend in the hospital instead of going to her regular weekly meditation class.

2. Bought a membership to a health club to make other people happy.

3. When she receives genuine compliments she has difficulty accepting them.

4. Not listening to her children.

5. Not listening to her partner.

6. Not allowing her children to grow up and get some bruises (always wanting to protect them).

7. Giving her opinion when it was not solicited.

In every one of the above situations Mary could not find more time to enjoy less stress because she was busy pleasing others. Mary could not believe what she saw on paper (I actually wrote out my interpretation of her responses to which Mary agreed.)

You need to please others

You have probably heard that you need to do things to please yourself. However this concept has the stigma attached, that to please yourself is selfish.

Let’s examine this misconception for a moment. In Mary’s case I am going to use the first thing she said she did to find stress relief.

1. Visited a friend in the hospital instead of going to her regular weekly meditation class.

Now Mary could have gone to the hospital another day and visited her friend. I have checked with Mary a week later and her friend is still alive and making progress. However when Mary left the hospital she felt drained. Mary goes home to her children and partner feeling tired and she has no time for them because she is dog tired.

Family all stressed out

Now it makes her partner and her children wonder when she is going to find more time to spend with them (her family). In order not to get attached to the stigma of being selfish, Mary followed her understanding (stigma of being selfish) and went to the hospital.

So what are her consequences?

Mary came home drained instead of enjoying less stress. If she had attended her meditation class she would be able to find more time to spend with her family.

Mary had no time for her family.

Mary has no time for herself.

Mary now understands the havoc she has been creating in attempting to find more time to experience less stress in her life.

So what is the moral of the story?

You first need to move beyond the stigma that to please ourselves first is selfish. When you accept yourself first then it will be easier for you to find more time to enjoy less stress.
