How to stop ghosts of Christmas past from ruining your holidays

No Comments

The holiday season is a time people try to come together for joyful celebration with loved ones in a way that feels loving and positive for all. However, a recent study shows that well more than half —about 61%—anticipate arguments and contention during the holidays. Holistic physician, lecturer and author of the bestselling book, “The Emotion Code,” Dr. Bradley Nelson helps people to let go of unhelpful emotions from the past so they can enjoy the company of loved ones in the present.

Are the Ghosts of Christmas Past Ruining Your Holidays?

In the story “A Christmas Carol,” Scrooge is visited by the Ghost of Christmas Past who takes Scrooge on a tour of the parts of his life that have led to him becoming the angry, miserly man he is today. No matter who you are, you have past events that color emotional reactions in the present. These unhealed, often hidden “trapped emotions” can ruin your chances of living a healthy, happy life.

What parts of your past have contributed to unhealthy present ways of being?

“Do you ever feel that you are struggling under the weight of something that you can’t quite put your finger on?” asks Dr. Nelson. “Perhaps your life is not turning out how you had hoped. Perhaps your attempts to form lasting relationships never seem to work out. You may wish that certain events in your past had never occurred but feel powerless to move beyond them. You may even have an uneasy feeling that your present is being held hostage by your past in some vague and indefinable way.”

  • Emotions you carry from upsetting things that you have experienced are your very own “Ghosts of Christmas Past.”
  • You can change your present moment by committing to a healthier, happier version of yourself. Those old “trapped emotions” can be released through Dr. Bradley Nelson’s Emotion Code.
  • Give yourself the promise of a better future by healing the past.

How to let go of emotional baggage | Advice from Dr. Bradley Nelson

Dr. Bradley Nelson shares advice on overcoming emotional baggage
Dr. Bradley Nelson

Do you feel constantly stressed and aggravated? These feelings are scientifically linked to health issues such as overeating, insomnia and depression. An angry outburst can even increase the risk of heart attacks and strokes. Fortunately, veteran holistic physician Dr. Bradley Nelson has valuable tips to share about how to overcome emotional baggage that could improve your quality of life.

The first step to overcoming emotional baggage is to learn how to let go of negative feelings. You must learn how to comfort yourself. Everyone struggles at times with feelings such as anger, sadness, grief, hopelessness or despair. Studies have linked such negative emotions of inflammation in the body, making them the root of many disease processes. Dr. Nelson has trained almost 2,700 healing practitioners in 62 countries how to help people find and release unresolved negative emotions that damage their health and relationships. Here are quick tips from Dr. Nelson on how to deal with difficult thoughts and feelings:

  1. Acknowledge that you have emotions to deal with rather than self-medicating, numbing out or going into denial. You must decide to feel your emotions consciously and be present in the moment. Feel validated in that you chose how you would react and feel about whatever is going on. Your emotions are yours. You are where you are and that’s okay, the way it is for the moment.
  2. Own your emotions. More importantly, realize your emotions do not own you.You don’t need to be consumed by them or drown in them. And you don’t have to stay upset. Know that you are free to feel the emotions that you chose, just as you are free to let negativity go when you are ready. You are in charge. Let negative emotions go to help you survive and thrive through whatever you are facing.
  3. Be kind and gentle with yourself. Sometimes processing difficult emotions leaves people feeling happy and unburdened. Other times they feel sensitive, down or drained. If you feel down or exhausted, do something to help yourself feel good, such as:
    • Soak in a warm bathtub
    • Get a massage
    • Sleep
    • Pray/meditate
    • Write in your journal
    • Lose yourself in a good book, movie or music that you love
    • Do something creative
    • Exercise, particularly out in nature
    • Talk to a trusted friend or counselor
    • Serve others in need (this takes the focus off yourself and your troubles and puts it on something you can feel good about)

“Realize that overcoming negative emotions is how to heal from difficult or devastating experiences,” explains Dr. Nelson. “When you decide to let go of thinking and feeling negatively you can more easily enjoy living in the present, unencumbered by the negativity of the past. This clears your path to the future, opening the opportunity to embrace happiness.”

How to overcome Back To School Stress | Anxiety Prevention Guide for Families

Dr. Bradley Nelson back-to-school tips for overcoming stress and anxiety
Author and international lecturer in bio-energetic medicine and energy psychology, Dr. Bradley Nelson offers advice on how to overcome back-to-school stress.

For families across America, the back to school season can be very stressful. Some stress is associated  with the renewed pressure of academics while other forms of stress are tied with extracurricular activities and social situations. In particular children with learning disabilities have trouble overcoming back to school stress, but veteran holistic physician Dr. Bradley Nelson has great advice to help parents and children alike clear away emotional baggage to help them learn better, feel happier and reach their goals of having a successful school year experience.

Dr. Nelson specializes in helping people of all ages release “trapped emotions” – unresolved emotions from negative life experiences that can affect a person’s health, happiness and ability to learn. He and the thousands of healing practitioners he has trained worldwide frequently work with children diagnosed with Dyslexia, Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), and other conditions which can hinder learning and development. Parents searching for holistic ways to help their kids overcome such problems are finding success with The Body Code, a system Dr. Nelson developed to help kids without having to resort to medication.

“Learning disabilities can affect listening and speaking, reading, writing and spelling, reasoning, concentration and mathematics,” Dr. Nelson says. “Some common imbalances children have that contribute to learning disabilities include social and emotional problems, nutritional deficiencies and toxins from processed foods and environmental sources. All of these can be discovered and addressed with The Body Code.”

Dr. Nelson teaches parents how to use these methods to help not only kids diagnosed with learning disabilities and delays, but all children struggling with any kind of anxiety over school. For instance, releasing trapped emotions can help children shift out of a fear of starting kindergarten, let go of negative feelings around upsetting past events and become relaxed, confident and better able to learn.  As a holistic physician, Dr. Nelson also provides nutritional guidance for parents on how to eliminate processed and chemical-laden foods that may contribute to children’s learning and emotional problems.

WHEN SOMEONE YOU KNOW STRUGGLES WITH FEAR, ANXIETY AND STRESS

No Comments

By: Stanley Popovich

What do you do when someone you know has to deal with persistent fears, anxieties, or even depression? Well the first thing you need to do is to get the person to seek the services of a professional who can lead him/her in the right direction and give him/her the help he/she needs. In addition, here are some other techniques you can use to help the person cope.

Learn as much as you can in managing anxiety and depression. There are many books and information that will educate you on how to deal with fear and anxiety. Share this information with the person who is struggling. Education is the key in finding the answers your looking for in managing your fears.

Be understanding and patient with the person struggling with their fears. Dealing with depression and anxiety can be difficult for the person so do not add more problems than what is already there.

In every anxiety-related situation you experience, begin to learn what works, what doesn’t work, and what you need to improve on in managing your fears and anxieties. For instance, you have a lot of anxiety and you decide to take a walk to help you feel better. The next time you feel anxious you can remind yourself that you got through it the last time by taking a walk. This will give you the confidence to manage your anxiety the next time around.

Another thing to remember is that things change and events do not stay the same. For instance, you may feel overwhelmed today with your anxiety and feel that this is how you will feel the rest of the week or month. This isn’t correct. No one can predict the future with one hundred percent accuracy. Even if the thing that you feared does happen there are circumstances and factors that you can’t predict which can be used to your advantage. You never know when the help and answers you are looking for will come to you.

When your fears and anxieties have the best of you, seek help from a professional. The key is to be patient, take it slow, and not to give up. In time, you will be able to find those resources that will help you with your problems.

MANAGING THE FEAR AND ANXIETY OF THE UNKNOWN

No Comments

By: Stan Popovich

All most everybody worries about what will happen in the future. The prospect of not knowing if something good or bad will happen to you in the near future can produce a lot of fear and anxiety. As a result, here is a list of techniques and suggestions on how to manage this fear of dealing with the unknown.

Remember that no one can predict the future with one hundred percent certainty. Even if the thing that you are afraid of does happen there are circumstances and factors that you can’t predict which can be used to your advantage. For instance, let’s say at your place of work that you miss the deadline for a project you have been working on for the last few months. Everything you feared is coming true. Suddenly, your boss comes to your office and tells you that the deadline is extended and that he forgot to tell you the day before. This unknown factor changes everything. Remember that we may be ninety-nine percent correct in predicting the future, but all it takes is for that one percent to make a world of difference.

Learn to take it one day at a time. Instead of worrying about how you will get through the rest of the week or coming month, try to focus on today. Each day can provide us with different opportunities to learn new things and that includes learning how to deal with your problems. When the time comes, hopefully you will have learned the skills to deal with your situation.

Sometimes, we can get anxious over a task that we will have to perform in the near future. When this happens, visualize yourself doing the task in your mind. For instance, you and your team have to play in the championship volleyball game in front of a large group of people in the next few days. Before the big day comes, imagine yourself playing the game in your mind. Imagine that you’re playing in front of a large audience. By playing the game in your mind, you will be better prepared to perform for real when the time comes. Self-Visualization is a great way to reduce the fear and stress of a coming situation and increase your self-confidence.

Remember to take a deep breath and try to find something to do to get your mind off of you anxieties and stresses. A person could take a walk, listen to some music, read the newspaper, watch TV, play on the computer or do an activity that will give them a fresh perspective on things. This will distract you from your current worries.

A lot of times, our worrying can make the problem even worse. All the worrying in the world will not change anything. All you can do is to do your best each day, hope for the best, and when something does happen, take it in stride.  If you still have trouble managing your anxiety of the future, then talking to a counselor or clergyman can be of great help. There are ways to help manage your fear and all it takes is some effort to find those answers.
