Do You Prefer Control Over Chaos?

Chaos in Your Head
Did you know that you have two minds inside your head?  No, you’re not schizophrenic, but you are human.
As you probably know, you have a left and right brain.  You also probably know that each side is good at different things.  A “left-brained” person is linear, rational, and responsible, while a “right-brained” person thinks more abstractly, is a visual learner, and often gravitates towards the arts.
These stereoptypes can be helpful, but it turns out that there is a more accurate way of describing the difference between the left and right sides of the brain:  “order vs. chaos.”
The left brain is defined by order and the right brain is defined by chaos.  Now “order,” you probably get; but why would “chaos” be a defining characteristic of a huge part of our brains?
Well, despite our society’s natural aversion to chaos,  the ability to experience chaos is an incredibly important part of who we are as humans.  Even though most of us would rather control something than let it go to pieces, our world is stubbornly tough to control.  Becoming more comfortable with chaos turns out to have all kinds of real-world implications.
For one, if your consciousness is a healthy balance between order and chaos, you aren’t fighting with yourself all the time.  You aren’t rejecting one half of your brain when you try and control something.
And if you ARE fighting with yourself, then you will experience an enormous amount of stress.
This “embracing of chaos” turns out to be an extremely effective way of reducing stress in your life.   A peaceful and joyful life is within your capability by embracing the unique skills of your right brain.  In fact, my 6-week stress reduction seminar is designed specifically to do that.  Just think; by Christmas, you will experience less stress and have nearly doubled your brain power!
The six-week stress reduction seminar dates are now set!
Class One:  Wednesdays, 11:00am-12:30pm.
November 5th - December 17th with no class on November 27th.
Cost: $199 which includes an individual session.  Payment plans are available.
Class Two:  Wednesdays, 8:00-9:30 pm.

November 5th - December 17th with no class on November 27th.

Cost: $199 which includes an individual session.  Payment plans are available.
Classes are limited to eight participants each, so please email or call to reserve your spot.

For review:

In this six week stress management class, you will learn:
  • how your brain and mind create stress.
  • the effects of stress on your body- how to measure them and what to do about them.
  • the most effective stress management techniques on the planet.
  • how to dramatically reduce your overall stress without changing any of your external stressors.
My goal is for you to walk out of the class, two weeks before Christmas, experiencing the world in a totally new way:  a way that utilizes both halves of your brain to bring your life to its highest potential.
I look forward to hearing from you.  Please take care.
