Your R.E.S.S.E.T Word: A Stress-Busting Secret Weapon
You just learned how to create your R.E.S.S.E.T Word. Now, we are going to show you how this word can be your secret weapon for combatting stress no matter where you are or what you face.
“Everything you do builds a memory. Every moment can be important, and can be something that you can hold onto forever.” -Anonymous
It can be easy to lose control of your day to stress. This happens when you let stressful events send your mind running rampant with worry or let thoughts of what could happen push you to contemplate anxious “what if’s.”
Thoughts like this haunt all of us. We go through countless memories and thought processes throughout the day without having control or being cognizant of the control we have over our thoughts and memories, and how our thoughts could affect us.
Rarely do we focus or chose the exact memory or thought that we want to hold in our mind. And how wonderful it would be if we could hold in our mind a memory or a thought of a positive experience that we’ve had. This is exactly what your R.E.S.S.E.T word enables you to do!
Your R.E.S.S.E.T Word gives you the ability to replace those worries and anxious thoughts with the positive memories that you recall when you say to yourself or think your R.E.S.S.E.T Word.
Action:
When you face moments that lead your thoughts to stress, worry or anxiety, practice taking a moment to use your R.E.S.S.E.T word. Say it to yourself and recall all those positive memories and feelings it brings about. Soon enough, these positive memories will replace the negative ones.
