The Stress Is Not The Problem

[@anniechin2162]

Dan the Mindset Man stress is not the problem it’s our belief system that it is overwhelming/dangerous. I stopped saying I Can’t, I Can’t do this or that! Took it all out of my vocabulary and now I experience it differently and just stay CALM and go with the flow. Just do the best I can each day with no pressures on myself. Bought a bike today it was PLAY your video! Last year if you ask me to sit on a bike seat I would have such anxiety not yesterday I was sitting on it trying to ride it laughing and smiling! Drs said you can never ever sit and ride a bike! It will hurt you more in your pelvic area you know what I DON’T CARE! I can handle so much more in life because the more I do the more I feel better! If I have a spike in sensation I just stay CALM and just say your already OK, your fine, nothing dangerous going on Mrs Brain! Focus and can go on with my day! Thank you 🙏 Dan!

This is excellent. Since doing this work on a daily basis I have read a ton about stressful childhood, etc and started to convince myself that stress was causing the pain. I’m going back to my former attitude. I am a joyful, happy senior citizen who has managed to deal w responsibilities and stress just fine. I don’t need something to blame-I clearly need to share with my brain the fact that I am safe. Thanks for this one, Dan.

[@PainFreeYou]

You are very welcome Tess.

[@Hinz2005]

It has been amazing how I’ve now had two vastly different experiences within the same job and life. In 2022, I spent months in pain. Now, I am free from chronic pain and the ONLY change has been within myself. I didn’t change jobs, relationships, schedules. Truly, nothing changed except how I respond to this same life AS IT IS. Here lately, I have been using Dan’s approach to reduce some lingering anxiety. Even after resuming activity, I was still isolating some. Yesterday, I was able to visit with family and ENJOYED it. I felt present and relaxed. I didn’t have my lifelong “get me outta here” sensation. Integrating my faith plus PFY methods has literally changed my life 100% for the better.

Dr. Sarno also said that stress is not the cause of pain, Stress is mental fatigue. The cause is "emotional unease" But its at the subconscious level where its difficult to reach. So, as Dan echoes...don't try. Instead focus on calming down and reminding the brain you're safe.

Needed this today. Recently lost my mom and began a nursing school program not long after. I've had an avalanche of symptoms that I've been cycling through, and eventually overcoming, but with each cycle I seem to add another "I can't handle this" brick in the wall that I've built that always stands in my way. Thanks Dan, you save me so many times.

[@ladylaynefairchild8146]

Wow, Dan. I was really hoping I’d open KZbin and see a video from you and this was exactly the one I needed. My dog and I were attacked at my front door by a neighbor and I’m doing my best to make sure I feel safe through the anxiety and to sit with the fear without trying to block it. My situation is a little more crazy than regular stress but I’m guessing the same principles apply with trauma. This trauma doesn’t get to make a home in my body and brain, because I’m safe, even though I’m afraid.

I just cannot let go of the fear of the pain. It is so painful all the time. The tension in my body is excruciating all day. And then all the thoughts of how much worse can this get because it has got worse. Constant attention on it because it hurts so badly it never subsides and then the terror of the rest of my life and all the things it has already taken away. The pain in my glutes and lower back so all sitting is like a horror show. I go for walks but the pain is still there and it's all I think about 😢

[@PainFreeYou]

Hey Julie - I totally understand the fixation and the fear of the pain. Is it the pain you are afraid of? Or the consequence of it never getting better? If you knew it was temporary (it is), would you be as frightened by your experience? It's not a matter of just remaining calm and telling yourself you are safe. We need to have the fundamental four down. 1. Know what is causing the pain. Perceived Danger 2. Know that it applies to me. 3. Know that there is a solution. 4. Know that I am capable of implementing the solution. Once you have all four fundamentals down pat, then teaching the brain we are safe is key. Recovery from fear is the name of the game. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jITQhZhur7WLnpI

This makes sense. The one belief that I had was stress is causing all this. If I can just stop the stress I can get better was my thought process.

[@bethmulligan1]

I really really appreciate this one. I like the question, "I feel like I can't but what if I could what would that look like?" Love it. it aligns beautifully with stress researcher Suzanne Kobasa, who coined the term "stress Hardiness". She got curious about why some people across a wide range of stressful jobs, folks of different ages, races, cultures, etc, were less impacted by stress on a health and well being level, than others. She developed a series of questionnaires, and found that stress hardy people have 3 common quallites: 1)Control- (in the midst of all I can't control- what can I I take charge of where can I influence things? (aka mindset).2) Challenge- stress hardy people see change as a challenge rather than feeling powerless and victimized by it. 3) Commitment; Stress hardy people stay committed to their core values and ethics no matter what pressure is on them to compromise. I teach his in my Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction and Mindful self Compassion classes. Now I'm teaching it to myself with your amazing help and the wonderful group members.

Key insight to healing thanks Dan, the symptoms we get are a blessing letting us know we are stressing about stress and we can safely let it go. Up until now we have handled every life stress that came our way and we’re fine! Maybe not perfectly but we still handled it. Never say I can’t handle something..

[@tessinmaxwell2599]

I read somewhere (talking about health impacts of chronic stress, not specifically TMS) that when it comes to health outcomes, it isn’t any particular situation, even those that are generally considered stressful, that results in symptoms - it is PERCEIVED stress that has a physiological impact, no matter what the situation. Hearing it put that way really clarified it for me and helped me stop worrying quite as much about the impact of situations that are out of my control and instead focus on my mindset in those situations. Not easy to retrain my brain, and sometimes hard to even remember to try, but it is the one thing I can potentially control in any situation.

Had to visit a doctor yesterday for some tests for the insurance and the doctor told me I Will never get better there is no cure. So he scared me again. So hopefully positive stories can help me to get back on track again.

All of my success stories are here: kzbin.info/aero/PLRJmnkn2kTTIFQdggCj5blCYWTENhppHs Fatigue is no different from any other symptom created by a brain perceiving danger.

It's a vicious circle. We perceive stress as something harmful on one hand and on the other hand, the perceived danger of stress is responded to by increased stess. So what? Where shall I start to stop this cycle? By telling myself that I can cope with stress or that there is no danger.? If I tell myself that I am safe my brain asks itself why I remind it of being able to cope with stress. If I am safe, there won't be stress. So, there is no need to handle with ist, since it isn't produced. Won't both these mixed messages end up confusing my brain even more?

I understand what you say regarding reintroducing foods but my experience is that when I eat food, that has gluten in it, I develop a skin rash. As a diabetic this needs to be avoided so there is a lot of fear. Do you think that a trial of eating tiny amounts and closely monitoring symptoms might be a way of overcoming this? The problem is that unless I challenge myself I guess I will never find out if my situation has improved or just remains as before? Thanks Dan. 👍

[@Hinz2005]

Hi Paul, I have used Dan’s methods turn away from VERY restrictive eating. The methods are the same in my mind. Graded exposure would certainly be a possible way to approach reintroduction. I also don’t think you need to be in a hurry to do anything, since having a timeline can contribute to fear. Accurate knowledge is your foundation. So, it is statistically unlikely that you have a true allergy. Humans are far more tolerant and resilient than we give ourselves credit for! If you have ruled out a medical reason for a particular food restriction, then you can likely use Dan’s approaches to get that part of your life back. It isn’t a race, so be kind to yourself as you move forward! I wish you health and food-freedom!!!
