Common Sense Stress Management
Common Sense Stress Management
This is how you can create a very useful and valuable powerful tool. It will help you to evaluate your beliefs and topple over the negative barriers that are holding you back from truly achieving the success you desire and deserve in each and every area of your life. It's called the "Stress Scale".
I want you to imagine… A gauge… A scale that starts at the bottom at "0", and is numbered, 1,2,3, etc., with "10" at the top.
Everything above the "5" is negative and everything below the "5" is positive. That means, the lowest amount of stress you can have is at the bottom of the scale and the highest amount of stress is at the top. Some examples would be…Nothing is going right today! Two people having an argument, yelling, screaming and not listening to each other. That would be an "8".
Above a "5" is where you have fears, worries, anxieties and everything around you is negative. In other words, when you are above a "5" on the stress scale, nothing positive is going on and more than likely, you don't even like yourself. The higher you go up the stress scale, the worse things get and the more you get down on yourself.
On the lower part of the scale, some examples would be…Generally having a good day. Getting things done. Two people having a romantic candlelight dinner, good conversation, a good book or a good movie. That would be a "3" on the stress scale. In other words, below a "5" on the stress scale, nothing negative is happening. Below a "5" is… Where we find positive solutions to our problems! Those are the times when we wake up feeling great and look forward to having a wonderful day. You feel good about yourself.
Now, close your eyes and imagine where you are on the stress scale. Pick a number on that scale of where you think you are at this moment. Are you on the negative side or the positive side? With the knowledge you now have about the stress scale, can you tell where you are on the scale at any given time?
Ask yourself this question…If your best friend or someone you cared about really needed your help, could you get yourself from an “8” to a “3” in order to help them?
Yes, you have the ability to lower your stress level when you need to, if you treat yourself as a very important person, being your own best friend. That’s where you’ll find all the positive answers.
The last resort is you!

Bernard ReberBack in late 1992, MS Access hit the streets. About that time the company I managed needed new software to handle their growing client base and I decided to try this new product. I had little difficulty writing and adapting a database to suit us and discovered a hidden talent for programming. A business was born. With business studies and 25 years of management experience in three different countries under my belt, I could offer a unique combination of skills and my customers agreed. From these humble beginnings my software 'invoiceit' emerged in 1999 and has since been taken to 49 states (hello Wyoming, won't you join us?), all across Canada and more than 70 other countries. From the very beginning the program included cashbook accounting, the simplest form of keeping financial business records. The Dictionary.com defines 'cashbook' as "A 'book' in which to record money received and paid out". For 'book' substitute 'simple software' and that's what I'm about. Now I have published Simple Accounting, an inexpensive spreadsheet solution which even you can master. For just $14.95 it costs less than a takeout meal!
