Overwhelmed with decisions?

Is this how you're feeling these days?

Not to get political here on my health and wellness hypnosis blog, but I would ask everyone to think about what that means and how it applies in my life and practice today.

Contemplating the enormous problems before us; knowing that there are NO easy answers, I have retreated to my position that I know nothing for absolute sure.  In this I have found wisdom and maturity.

It’s easy to fuss, fight, throw sticks and stones as well as a lot of unsubstantiated accusations back and forth.

I have an opinion and I think I know who I trust more than others from their track records of truthfulness.  My opinion is not what matters.

In making your important governmental decisions, it’s essential to find substantiated information and to avoid listening to zealots…especially those who make a lot of money being zealous.

Making decisions about how to vote and who’s word to trust is not so far from handling any relationship, whether it is in your community or in your home.  So are good guidelines for effective communication:

1.   Listen to hear the other’s point-of-view, whether you agree or not.

2.   Listen with as open a mind as you can manage, not to agree but to hear.

3.   Try to stay calm.  When we get angry, our IQ actually goes down, our memory is interfered with chemically, and we are unable to be rational and objective.

4.   Dealing with anyone who has an agenda, which is any political viewpoint, especially those who have something to gain monetarily, check facts and be alert for covert persuasion tricks.

Whether we are talking about the injustice of leaving people out of healthcare, no matter what solution we favor, is no better than leaving people to die in streets as in the Dark Ages and third world countries.

There is much, much at stake here for all of us.  Do your best.  I try to do so as well.

If this is all too overwhelming and you need some stress management, help with insomnia, help with anger management or panic attacks, hypnosis can help you find peace and serenity in your own skin.

Here’s to your success…
