GOOD HYDRATION HAS AN INFLUENCE ON STRESS

GOOD HYDRATION HAS AN INFLUENCE ON STRESS?

Professor Pross talks about the relation between good hydration and stress.


"Well...stress is generally related to negative feelings, but from a psychological point of view we know that there is good stress, or well-being, and bad stress. And we recently demonstrated in our studies that good hydration has a positive influence on stress. Well hydrated people generally report to be more happy, less focused and more alert.  On the other hand, dehydrated people generally report to be less content, less calm, more confused and less happy. 


Consequently, we can say that good hydration has a positive influence on stress, and well-being. On the other side, dehydration has a negative influence on stress and induces bad stress. So, good hydration has an influence on stress. This is a fact."

TFT Algorithm For Guilt

GUILT ALGORITHM

1. Tune the Thought Field -- that is, intentionally think about the guilt that produces such emotional distress in your life.

2.  Rate the intensity of your guilt at this moment, using the Subjective Units of Distress (SUD) scale. On this scale, 10 is the worst you could possibly feel, and 1 indicates absolutely no trace of guilt. Write down the SUD rating before you continue to the next step.

3. Tap the "index finger spot" five times. It is located on the tip of the index (pointing) finger, on the side of that finger next to the thumb.


4. Tap the "collarbone point." To locate it, take two fingers of either hand and run them down the center of the throat to the top of the center collarbone notch. This is approximately even with the spot where a man would knot his tie. From there, move straight down an additional inch. Then move to the right one inch. Tap this point five times. 

5. Take a second SUD rating and write it down. If the SUD has decreased 2 or more points (which will be the case for most people), then continue with step 6 below. If there was no change, however, or if the change in the SUD was only 1 point, perform the correction for a psychological reversal, using the technique described in this post (CLICK HERE). Then repeat steps 1 through 5.

6. Perform the nine-gamut treatments. Locate the gamut spot on the back of the hand, about an inch below the raised knuckles of the ring finger and little finger when making a fist. Begin tapping the gamut spot with two fingers of the opposite hand, about three to five times per second, and continue tapping while performing all nine steps below ( tap five or six times for each of the nine-gamut positions). It is very important to tap the gamut spot throughout all nine of these gamut treatments:

G1~ Open the eyes.

G2~ Close the eyes.

G3~ Open the eyes and point eyeball down and to the left.

G4~ Point the eyeballs down and to the right.

 Image for nine-gamut treatments


G5~ Whirl the eyeballs around in a circle in one direction (clockwise).

G6~ Whirl the eyeballs around in the opposite direction (counter clockwise).

G7~ Hum a few bars of any tune aloud (more than a single note; 
rest the eyes).

G8~ Count aloud from one to five.

G9~ Hum the tune again.

7. Tap the index finger spot five times again.

8. Tap the collarbone point five times again.

9. Take still another SUD rating and write it down. If it has declined to 1 (which will happen with most people), move to step 12 below. But if it has decreased significantly yet is still not a 1, perform the MINI PR correction as described below, and then repeat the treatment steps above.

10. To ensure that the improvements you've made are complete, perform the floor-to-ceiling eye roll (when the SUD is 2 or lower): Hold the head level and move your eyes down. Then begin tapping the gamut point as you move your eyes upward.

MINI PR

 A related procedure, called a mini psychological reversal correction, can be used when you decrease your SUD to a 3 or 4 but can't seem to get it any lower.  In other words, you've achieved substantial improvement, but you can't get to the finish line.  A block exists that is keeping you from reducing the SUD any further
  
In the algorithm for your particular emotional problem, you'll be instructed on whether and when to use this technique. here is the  procedure to follow:
~ Find the PR spot mentioned above,  located on the outside edge of the  hand, between the wrist and the  base of the little finger.

 ~ Tap about fifteen (15) times with two fingers of the opposite hand.



   Image for tapping PR spot


As long as a psychological reversal persists, TFT ( or any other treatment) won't be able to get the SUD to a 1.  The PR or mini PR correction will open the door that allows TFT to eradicate your problem.

GUILT
Many people have difficulty letting go of guilt. They may feel guilty about past behaviour or violations of personal commitments. Or their guilt may be related to the shirking of responsibilities or to extramarital affairs. Perhaps you can make a list of your own past regrets over which you still carry some heavy emotional baggage. 

  Guilt can be a disabling emotion, often related to events from decades earlier that can't be changed. But guilt can be eliminated with the above algorithm. 

TFT Algorithm For Rage

RAGE ALGORITHM

1. Tune the Thought Field -- that is, intentionally think about the rage that produce such emotional distress in your life. 

2. Rate the intensity of your rage at this moment, using the Subjective Units of Distress (SUD) scale. On this scale, 10 is the worst you could possibly feel, and 1 indicates absolutely no trace of rage. Write down the SUD rating before you continue to the next step.

3. Using two fingers of one hand, tap a spot on the outside edge of the eye. Tap five times, firmly and gently, but not nearly hard enough to bruise. 

4. Tap the "collarbone point." To locate it, take two fingers of either hand and run them down the center of the throat to the top of the center collarbone notch. This is approximately even with the spot where a man would knot his tie. From there, move straight down an additional inch. Then move to the right one inch. Tap this point five times.

TFT Algorithm For Depression

DEPRESSION ALGORITHM

1. Tune the Thought Field -- that is, intentionally think about the DEPRESSION

2. Rate the severity of your depression at this moment, using the Subjective Units of Distress (SUD) scale. On this scale, 10 is the worst you could possibly feel, and 1 indicates absolutely no trace of upset. Write down the SUD rating before you continue to the next step.

3. Locate the gamut spot on the back of the hand, about an inch below the raised knuckles of the ring finger and little finger when making a fist. Tap this gamut spot thirty (30) times, using two fingers of the opposite hand.

4. Tap the "collarbone point." To locate it, take two fingers of either hand and run them down the center of the throat to the top of the center collarbone notch. This is approximately even with the spot where a man would knot his tie. From there, move straight down an additional inch. Then move to the right one inch. Tap this point five times.

DEPRESSION

Everyone gets the blues from time to time. But depression is quite a different phenomenon. It produces a powerful and chronic pall of crippling sadness, suffering, and hopelessness that makes it virtually impossible to enjoy life. Depressed people  have difficulty concentrating, feel lethargic and fatigued, withdraw from family and friends, and lose interest in pleasurable activities.

  Depression occurs about twice as frequently in women as in men. But the above algorithm is effective for the overwhelming majority of people of both gender.Nevertheless, here is an important caveat [a warning or proviso of specific stipulations, conditions, or limitations]: while the algorithm is helpful, you also need to be under the care of a mental health professional if you are depressed. That's because depression increases the risk of suicide. Suicidal talk or thoughts represent a medical and psychological emergency. 

TFT Algorithm for Most Phobias

MOST PHOBIAS ALGORITHM 

1. Tune the Thought Field -- that is, intentionally think about the addictive urge you want to treat.

2. Using the Subjective Units of Distress (SUD) scale. determine how upset you feel at this moment when thinking about the phobia. On this scale, 10 is the most intense it could possibly be, and 1 indicates absolutely no trace of it. Write down the SUD rating before you continue to the next step.

3. Using two fingers of one hand, tap five times under the eye, about an inch below the bottom of the center of the bony orbit, high on the cheek. Tap firmly, but not hard enough to cause pain.

4. Tap solidly five times under the arm, about four inches directly below the armpit, using rigid fingers. In men, this spot is under the arm about even with the nipple. Women can locate this spot by tapping at about the center of the bra under the arm.

5. Tap the "collarbone point." To locate it, take two fingers of either hand and run them down the center of the throat to the top of the center collarbone notch. This is approximately even with the spot where a man would knot his tie. From there, move straight down an additional inch. Then move to the right one inch. Tap this point five times.

PHOBIAS

A phobia is a persistent fear without a rational basis, typically related to a harmless object or situation. Ironically, most people who have these phobias understand quite well how unrealistic their fear is, which makes them feel even more foolish and ashamed, and contributes further to their emotional distress. They know they shouldn't be afraid, but they simply can't rid themselves of it. 

  Most mainstream psychologists actually believe that phobias can't be cured. That has been devastating news for phobias whose fears have disrupted their careers, hurt their relationships, and sabotaged  their ability to enjoy life. For many years, that was terrible news for me as well, I grew up in foster homes, where I suffered in silence dealing with fears of heights, tunnel, and speaking in front of others. If only I had known the phobia algorithm back then, it could have saved me from plenty of agony. 

  Some time ago, I met a woman at the base of the aerial tram in Palm Springs, California, which travels thousands of feet to the top of San Jacinto Mountain. Although she wanted to ride on the tram, she was petrified of heights, and so she just stood there, unable to take the few steps necessary to board the gondola. 



With her permission, I treated her with a TFT algorithm on the spot -- and it worked. Within minutes, she said she felt fine. Her SUD, she said, had plummeted to 1. She and I boarded the tram, and I rode next to her to the top of the mountain. 






She clearly enjoyed the ride, free of the fear that had caused trembling, heart palpitations, and a flushed face just minutes earlier. 

  The algorithms that follow can produce the same kind of instantaneous, painless healing of your own fears. These are two phobia algorithms. One is for most phobias and fears. It is effective for fear of heights, bridges, cats, dogs, bugs, snakes, lizards, needles, dentists, mice, horses, water, closed space, public speaking, and all other phobias except the three mentioned below (public speaking, by the way, is the most common fear, but can often be rapidly resolved with this algorithm). 
The other algorithm is for three specific phobias -- spiders, claustrophobia, and air turbulence ( in flight). It is a particular effective treatment for these conditions

  During an appearance I made on a radio talk show, a caller described her intense fear of spiders. Just the sight of a spider,

 

she said, would leave her shaking and feeling faint. On the SUD scale, she said she was a 10 at that moment. Then I guided her through the phobia algorithm. After this brief treatment lasting only two minutes, she reported that her SUD reading had plummeted to a 1. 

  The radio show continued for almost another hour. Just before it ended, the woman called back. There was genuine excitement in her voice. She said that she had phoned in again because while sitting on her couch, she noticed that a spider had begun crawling on her lap. An hour earlier, that might have been one of the most terrifying moments of her life.  but she described feeling no fear at all as she calmly watched the spider make its way across her lap and back onto the couch. her SUD score of 1 clearly correlated with the dramatic elimination of her fear. 

TFT Algorithm For ADDICTIVE URGE - FIRST USE

ADDICTIVE URGE ALGORITHM - FIRST USE

ADDICTIVE URGES

  Just how powerful are these addictive urges? Consider that most smokers who survive a heart attack -- or who undergo coronary by pass surgery -- continue to smoke. Imagine looking death in the eye and getting a second chance at life, and yet continuing with the behaviour that may have been largely responsible for the health problems you experienced!

  I've often told the story about the U.S. soldiers who fought in the Vietnam War. Some of them turned to heroin and other illegal drugs to smother their reality-based anxiety.  As word drifted back to the States about heroin use among G.Is, there was a fear that America would have to deal with severe drug-addiction problems as the soldiers came home. But that wasn't the case at all. Once the returnees left the anxiety of combat behind them (obviously, the source of their anxiety was outside of themselves), most of them simply stopped using these hard drugs. They no longer felt the need for them, and the physiological component of addiction seemed rather insignificant once the source of their anxiety was gone. I'm convinced that addiction is primarily a psychological problem, not a physical one. 

  By treating the addictive urges in your life with the algorithms that follow or in this blog-site, you won't be masking or covering up -- you'll be eradicating them at their root cause.

Begin with the "first use" algorithm above, which works for most people in eliminating their addictive urges. But if you don't have success with the "first use" algorithm, move on to the "alternative algorithms 1 or 2," which are more effective for some individuals. Use these algorithms when your addictive urge is particularly strong.

ANXIETY
If you have anxiety in your life, at least you're not alone. Some survey have found that anxiety is the most common psychological disorder in the country. it is so prevalent that many people accept anxiety as an unwelcome fact of life. While it's true that anxiety often has no obvious trigger, it can also be attributed to factors such as the loss of a job or the illness of a family member. Even in cases like this, however, the anxiety is frequently out of proportion to the apparent cause; for example, a deadline at work may send your anxiety soaring far above what is warranted by the circumstances.

  Remember, however, that no matter what you attribute your anxiety to, the key is collapsing the perturbations in the Thought Field that are responsible for it. Once those perturbations are eradicated, the anxiety will vanish as well.

  Sometimes anxiety is accompanied by panic attacks. Panic is a sudden, intense onset of severe anxiety. For people who have never had a severe panic reaction, it is hard to imagine how disruptive and terrifying these episodes can be. Once they occur, they can dramatically affect how people live there lives, often leaving them fearful of having another panicky response, which makes them chronically anxious. they may consciously stay only in familiar and secure environments where such attacks are less likely to occur. In the most extreme cases, people become permanently homebound.

  I recall a young mother who could not get more than six feet from her front door without having a severe panic attack. As  a result, she was terrified about what might happen if her three-year-old son had a medical emergency that required an urgent trip to the hospital; she simply didn't think she'd be able to take him. Within a few minutes, after using the TFT algorithm, it was clear to her that she would be able to handle such an emergency.

  The algorithm for "simple / stress" will work for most people. If it doesn't get your SUD as low as you'd like, however, then use the algorithm for "complex anxiety/panic attack."  Begin with the "first use" algorithm for complex anxiety, and then, if necessary, move on to one of the alternative algorithms.
