How would you like to take a one-minute vacation? Do you think it can help you cope with your challenges each day?

Are you worried about sales, taxes, competition and your work schedule?

Here is an excellent exercise to help you cope with your workday.

Try it every morning.

Let's see how self-hypnosis and relaxation can help.

The purpose of this section is for you to learn how to relax in just a few moments.

When you use several of these moments during a typical work or school day, you will find very wonderful results. Just as it takes many repetitions of angry moments or stressful periods of time during day to build up stress.

It will take many repetitions of calm and peaceful periods of time to build a perfect "mental vacation."

To begin this vacation you may want to print these directions out and then either read them aloud to yourself or read them into a recording device.

When you read them to yourself or into a device, picture yourself relaxing very deeply while you give yourself these suggestions. Whenever you see following symbol, ....., this will signal you to pause as you read or talk to yourself.

Pause from 20 to 30 seconds at first. After you are finding yourself relaxing very deeply, you may want to change your pause to just three or four seconds. Are you ready? Lets see how much we can really relax using this technique.

My Vacation Begins!

I will begin relaxation process by focusing in my mind on a place where I always have total peace..... It may be resting beside a stream or a lake....

it may be watching waves on ocean....

It may be a scene high up in mountains....

or it may be in comfort of my own bed.

Whatever I place in my mind I use for my vacation. The image I find will be correct one.

Get Up And Do Something About Your Weight by Bette L. Hall CMA, NHC

Spring is here alas! It’s a time when everything is fresh and new. Flowers begin to bloom, love is in air, and our thoughts turn toward shedding those unwanted winter pounds.

Short dark days have led to inactivity and pounds have piled on. Hoards of beautiful bodies will be heading to Waikiki, Newport, Malibu, Santa Monica, Padre Island, and Pompano Beach. Will you be one of those headed for fun in sun or will that winter fat keep you too embarrassed to show yourself in a bikini?

These words of wisdom are meant to encourage and help those who want to reduce ten or fifteen pounds and that little tummy pooch that was gained during winter blahs.

Pay close attention and follow this advice and you will see results. The things I’m about to share with you aren’t just empty words. They are words of wisdom that require action on your part. Don’t just read these words and think "it’s good advice" and then forget about them. Get up and do something about it.
