Stress is the world’s number one
preventable disease. Over the past several decades, experts from a variety
of disciplines have offered their well-meaning ideas about how to “manage”
stress, but with little success. They seem to view stress as a catastrophe
that, like a tornado, cannot be avoided. With their complex systems, all you
can do is head for shelter and hope for the best.
The Psychoharmonics system offers
the first simple and practical definition of stress. With that definition in
place, the solution for eliminating stress is then obvious. The first step
is to recognize that all behavior is the product of a goal. Every time you
set a goal, consciously or subconsciously, it creates a little tension in
your mind and body. It’s like winding up the rubber band on an old-fashioned
toy airplane. The more tension you have, the greater is your motivation for
achieving your goal.
Some tension is good. It’s what gets
us out of bed in the morning. When tension starts hurting us, however,
that’s bad. As with pleasure and pain, tension and stress are on a
continuum. In the Psychoharmonics system, stress is defined as pathological
tension. It’s tension that hurts. It’s tension that makes you sick. If not
eliminated, it can even kill you.
All stress is caused by the
harboring in your own mind of one or more impossible goals. To prevent or
eliminate stress, all you have to do is identify and cancel the impossible
goals that you are harboring in your own mind. It’s that baby simple.
Impossible goals are those that
cannot be achieved because of time, space, or circumstances. You cannot do
eight hours of quality work in one hour. You can’t be here now and somewhere
else now. You can’t do anything yesterday. And you can’t set goals for
anyone else, including God, or anything else, including the weather.
In this book, you learn how to
quickly become an expert at identifying and canceling impossible goals and,
thereby, achieving peace in your own mind and with the world at large. You
learn not only what love is, but how to love. You learn not only what
forgiveness is, but how to forgive.
There is no benefit to you
whatsoever in maintaining impossible goals. Canceling them frees up all of
that wasted energy and lets you channel it into good, possible goals that
benefit you and others around you. This book gives you a baby-simple recipe
for achieving that good, life-saving goal. That done, you’ll be a brand new
and much healthier and happier person. And with just the least bit of
effort, you’ll stay that way, living happily ever after...most of the time.
