Defining Stress
Stress or psychological stress = a reaction your mental, emotional and physical being goes through when faced with a perceived threat.
Understanding Stress
Derived from Latin, the word stress is short for distress. Stress is one of the most used words in the English language. It is also one of the most misunderstood.
When stress crosses over from being a minor concern (I am running late for work) to a major concern (I am going to lose my job), it can leave you feeling that you may not be able to move past this particular experience. When you are experiencing stress, your general view on life becomes distorted and uncomfortable. Once stress is your major concern, it becomes responsible for a stream of emotions and bodily reactions such as irritability and tension. This way of thinking is damaging to your wellbeing both physically and mentally.
To reduce and eliminate your stress, you must first understand what causes and enflames it.
What the experts say
Fountainhead Founder, and stress reduction specialist Wayne Parrott is no stranger to helping stress sufferer’s grasp the ‘bigger picture’ behind stress and how to fight it:
“It is commonly believed that prolonged stress can make your body more vulnerable to illness. In fact, many practitioners now claim that nearly all disease has a stress related component. It is important to add at this point, examining your body’s physical reaction to stress only brings about limited benefits. To alleviate stress, you must go to its root causes. This means changing the way you think about your life experiences and the belief which causes the physical reaction in the first place.”*
Solutions at Fountainhead Retreat
To reduce your stress, you must first know how it begins.
Many traditional therapists tend to link the cause of stress to a rather long list of experiences; experiences that are constantly being held responsible as the very origin of stress itself. Some experiences that are believed to cause stress are: Christmas day, buying a house and going through a divorce. At Fountainhead, we have concluded that if these or other experiences were the cause of stress however, then everyone who had the same experience would experience the same stress. By analysing thousands of people using the Fountainhead Method via our 21-28 day programs, this is clearly not the case.
At Fountainhead, our guests learn all too well that they cannot change unwanted experiences. Time machines do not presently exist. They quickly realise that they can however reduce the stress they feel about an unwanted experience by changing the way they think about it.
Through a simple yet powerful step by step framework we teach guests how to reveal their current thinking patterns which reinforce stress. In the end, you leave the retreat with a new thinking pattern that alleviates it – your learn to live, stress-less.
