3 Humongous Secrets For Eliminating Stress—Secret #1

Secret #1: Are You A Basket Case?

Dr. Mort Orman here and today I want to focus on one of the biggest secrets—actually a humongous secret—for eliminating stress from your life.

This secret lies in the answer to the question: “Are you a basket case?” when it comes to dealing with stress.

Cutting to the chase…the answer is most likely: “Yes you are!”

It’s Not Your Fault

Yes, you ARE probably a “basket case” when it comes to dealing with stress.

And it’s not your fault.

You see, we’ve all been trained to be basket cases by our society.

We’ve been trained by stress management experts, by health and wellness gurus, by the media, by our doctors, by our friends and family members, and by many other people we trust and respect.

In short, we’ve all been trained to take our painful, annoying, stressful problems in life and do the following with them:

Gather them all up (in our minds) and put them in one big virtual “basket”
Label this basket of problems “stress”
Then, seek clever and resourceful ways to deal with our “stress” so we can be happier, healthier, calmer, and even more successful.

This is why I say we are all “basket cases” when it comes to dealing with stress.

A Good Way To Lose The Game

The problem with this approach, no matter how popular and widespread it might be, is that it pretty much guarantees you will lose the game, every time you try to eliminate stress from your life.

That’s because once you dump all your problems into one virtual basket and then think of that collection as a new composite problem called “stress,” the best you can hope for is to “manage” just the symptoms of this big basket of problems.

You can’t really address root causes, because you’ve combined all your problems together and are trying to deal with the whole conglomeration all at once.

You can do this if you want, and millions of people try to deal with their stress this way…every single day.

But can you win the stress game playing this way?

No, you can’t. You can’t even get close to winning.

Here’s Secret #1

If you want to learn how to ELIMINATE stress from your life, not just manage its symptoms alone, you’ve got to take all your problems out of your virtual basket and “put them on the table” where you can deal with each one individually.

Since there are many different stressful problems in life—from feeling anxious, to feeling angry, to having relationship problems at home, to having stress at work, to having financial problems, to health problems, etc.—you can’t get at individual causes by lumping all your stressful problems together in your mind.

You have to take them out of your virtual basket, one by one, and identify the specific root causes for each.

In other words, you have to stop being a “basket case” when it comes to dealing with stress.

You have to choose to think (and act) differently than almost everyone else around you.

You have to be able to listen to people who are telling you to “manage your stressful problems” and have your internal BS meter go off.

In short, if you truly want to win the stress game—and eliminate stressful problems from your life instead of struggling just to manage their symptoms alone—you’ve got to stop being a “basket case” and force yourself to think and act differently than almost everyone you know.
