Reduce Stress, Anxiety & Depression Now!

Once upon a time there were three monkeys, one was simple, one of average intelligence, and one was very intelligent.  The simple one was content just living off the land, in complete harmony with nature. Others laughed at him for his lack of drive, lack of intelligence, and lack of success.

The monkey with average intelligence created spears and swords, and was able to get his group to join in war with him. They killed other rivals and gained many spoils, more land, more women, and more honor. They were called knights and he was made king.

The third monkey from another group was the most intelligent monkey ever.  He created great technologies, factories to grow more food, extract more coal and oil from the ground, and weapons of mass destruction. With his military he dominated the world, killing any and all in his path. The sky was black with the soot from the factories, millions of acres of forest were destroyed to create farms for cattle and corn.  He was adored as a God, and his family were royalty known all over the world.

But he always faced new rivals, new challenges.  And he was ambitious and motivated for greater successes in life. Never satisfied with what he had, he always wanted more. One day he unleashed a fury of weapons at his enemies and set off a chain of events that ended up destroying life on the entire planet.

My question: how smart really, was this intelligent monkey?  Rather stupid if you ask me.

How intelligent do you consider yourself? Do you have any bad habits? Do you seem to undermine yourself? Does your self talk often seem too critical?

Plenty of doctors are drug addicts, some even to heroine. Plenty of Ivy Leage educated wealthy wall street bankers are criminals and the ones who get caught sometimes go to jail.

Even more ironic, those same Harvard and Yale educated Wall Street bankers are the same ones who blew up the economy, causing untold suffering to millions of people all over the world. How intelligent was that?

And the best doctors of our times, the brightest minds, still pump cancer patients full of toxic chemotherapy with dismal success rates. While other therapies are known to be less toxic, more healthy and more successful for those suffering from cancer. How intelligent is that?

“Real intelligence does not hurt itself…” says bestselling author Guy Finley. Given that standard I would say we are all lacking the most essential type of intelligence.

People suffer from so much stress and negative emotional duress and they do not have to. Most of it could be released simply by waking up to the facts. By using the true intelligence we all have inside us. Intelligence is a feature designed to help us solve our problems.  To enable us to feel good and happy. Yet all too often it brings with it more unhappiness.  Real intelligence is that which is applied to the fundamental problem we all have – the best way to achieve lasting happiness.  And its not with bigger factories, bigger profits, or more drugs.

One day out of the rubble and ruins, the monkeys began talking about a simple monkey high up on the mountain who escaped the wrath of destruction from the intelligent monkey. “Maybe he is a smarter monkey” “Maybe he is a God” they wondered. So a young motivated monkey journeyed up to find this simple monkey living in the mountains.

When he found him, living in little shack in a veritable Garden of Eden, he asked to learn how he had know the way. (the way around the destruction inherent in intelligence and blind ambition). The simple monkey told him to get as much gold as he could in payment, and he would teach him then the way.  So off he went to beg, borrow and steal as much gold as he could.

With pride he handed over the gold. The simple monkey took the gold in his hand, and laughing, threw it off a cliff overlooking the dense forest shouting “What need do I have for your gold? The whole world is golden to me!”

Existence itself is golden. You can read these words but you probably do not know what they truly mean.  But ’seek and you shall find…’ – I ask you – what does it profit a man to be so intelligent and successful if he is, in the bottom of his heart, still unhappy? Still seeking more to quench this unquenchable hunger?

Getting in touch with how you feel is the first step to discover whats really bothering you. So welcome the stress, anxiety and depression – its here to help you wake up!

There is another big ‘O’ besides the one your mind conjures up when you hear the ‘O’ (I know what you’re thinking!). And it’s even more important for health and happiness. This big O is called oxygen.

In physics the ‘Higgs Boson’ is called the God particle, but to me it’s oxygen! This is because it’s the one thing above all else keeping us alive and it appears to be a cure for everything too. I call it the Big O.  It’s one of the best things you can take for depression, stress or anxiety.  It’s the key to healing your body from diseases (look up ozone therapy for more information). Oxygen is the ultimate fat burner, the fountain of youth, & the source of life. Best of all, it’s free, and you can get it anywhere. Oxygen makes up most of you – about 65% of your body is oxygen.

Oxygen actually functions as a neurotransmitter, so it’s intimately involved with how our brain works. This of course means it is a key to how we think and feel too. And as anyone who has tried it will attest – oxygen seems to make you feel better! This is one reason why exercise can reduce stress, anxiety and depression. It makes us feel good.  I think the negative ions in outdoor air is one reason why it seems exercise outside has more of an effect for me on feeling better then for example, exercising in the gym with the recirculated indoor air.

So if you feel stress or other negative emotions, try going outside for a brisk walk, run, hike or bike ride.  I think you will feel better real quick.  If you feel you cannot do that or lack the inspiration to, then consider another fast acting way by taking Gabatrol. Customers report that it works fast to safely and effectively reduce stress, anxiety and depression.

Does the voice inside your head speak out in a hard of soft manner?

Often our internal dialogue goes on without our awareness and creates more stress, anxiety and depression for us!

For example, in the gym my voice is a hard, Marine Type: “PUSH HARDER! DON’T QUIT NOW SOLDIER!” And it gets me to push harder, too hard at times. Same thing when I used to race motorcycles. Hence all my injuries. At home when I need to be writing my book, the soft voice dominates: “relax, take it easy, you deserve to…” and then telling me to spend more time reading, watching Book TV or to make another cup of coffee! It seems to lure me away from focusing on what I intended to do.

Neither voice in the extreme is healthy, and often other issues such as fear (fear of failure, fear of looking foolish etc) speak through these voices in our head. Ironically its often the wrong voice that dominates us as the above examples show.

I could see how others relate to internal self talk when I used to personal train clients in the gym. Some clients will push thru everything, injuries, naseau, even being sick. Others use any excuse to either cancel the session or when we train, they stop at the first hint of pain.

I’m not saying either is good or bad, it’s simply an interesting observation we all could take a look at. And in our ability to see, we become more aware and hence can take true action to balance ourselves yet once again.

This internal voice is key in how we think and talk inside our heads – often creating more stress, anxiety and depression for ourselves. Or if we can master the art of internal self talk, we can create more success and happiness in our life.

In fact there may be several voices (or conflicting desires)tearing us apart at once. For example, without our awareness, an internal battle of the voices ensues as we reach for the candy bar (or cake, martini, etc). I can just hear it now:  “You are too fat to eat that”, or “Go ahead, indulge – you deserve it!”, and “You can burn it off in the gym later”, “It’s (someone else’s) fault – he planted the idea of this by mentioning it to you!”, and on and on!

Remain vigilant to the inner dialogue of your mind. Don’t blindly trust your thoughts, they are NOT your friends!

So for me it means not getting up off this seat to grab a coffee, but forcing myself to get my writing done. Or when snowboarding, a little less intensity and cliff jumping would probably add years to my already battle weary knee injury.

If your own self talk does not seem to be working to get you motivated to do something or makes you more stressed – try Gabatrol. It can make you feel more positive and reduce negative feelings so that you can have the motivation to step up and do more positive things in your life. For example, some people report that when they feel depressed or lacking motivation to go to the gym – taking Gabatrol makes them feel better and they find themselves more motivated to go!

This of course creates a domino effect – they take Gabatrol, go to the gym, feel better and then they want to eat better too, and on and on! Gabatrol can spin you off in a more positive direction – its safe and fast-acting. Try it now!

Recently someone asked me if I had been on any vacations recently. I said no,
but then later thought about it and realized almost every day for me is like a
vacation! I’ve managed to create a lifestyle that works for me – I make my
own hours, have time to eat healthy, exercise, and make time to appreciate the moments in life versus rushing through them. I’ve dedicated my life to being more present first, then working, eating, etc, second.

In reflecting upon last year, I noticed that I was rushing around to get
things done, and at times stressing out (good stress most would say) over the
success and growing pains of my company, Pure Life. Success brings stress often
as much as failure!  I’m not alone – I’ve seen first hand that all of my clients suffer from the effects of stress, anxiety, and the constant rushing around. Most of it due to their success!

Even good stress can be bad on the body. In fact, of the Top 10 Stressful
Events, many are good things like getting married, starting a new job, or buying a new house. The body reacts to stress; whether negative such as a fear of flying to fear of public speaking, or positive such as a new job or a new house; in the same way. And over the long term, this up and down cascade of hormones and chemicals in the body is a key to immune function and health.

As an interesting side, at least one study showed more people have heart attacks around their birthday. Why would a day that should be happy make people die? Perhaps because it makes them realize in some way how unhappy they truly are and that triggers feelings of stress, anxiety and depression.

I’m not saying happiness is bad, far from it. People who are truly happy tend to
live longer, healthier lives. I do think the kind of happiness is critical:
adrenaline producing, nervous or over-stimulated/excited types of happiness
trigger the stress response in our bodies. This can be unhealthy. Tranquil, centered, less emotionally intense happiness is I think a healthier type. For people that find themselves stressed, anxious or tense over any issue in their life, safe & fast-acting Gabatrol can help them feel better immediately so that they can more effectively handle these stressful situations. It can take the edge off tension so that you can be your best without feeling under pressure.

Back to vacations: in realizing every day can be like a vacation for me, I
realized profound gratitude. More and more I’ve been choosing to focus on what I
have to be thankful for. And it makes all the difference. My life is
far from perfect, but I am less and less “finding myself” – identifying who I
am, with the bad or painful events in life.

The opposite is true too – I am also trying to not identify myself with the good
things in my life. By practicing not being attached to the good things, it becomes easier to let go of the bad things that cause us pain.

So the attitude of gratitude will help shift you into a healthier state of
being. And if you need immediate relief, try Gabatrol!
