Be you very own Self-Whisperer during your difficult times by reminding yourself to:

Exhale & Relax your shoulders over and over during the day.

In fact, sometimes it is good to say to yourself, 'Put your shoulders on the floor or as close to it as you can get them.'

These calming statements are not like the intrusive marching-band type statements we hear from our minds' mental spaces. Our alarming self-talk (i.e., using your Whitworth Stressometer your brand of your very own level 9 worst feeling thoughts) of the Fight, Flight & Freeze gears is reflexively delivered over a kind of loud speaker in our minds and we do not choose it. On the other hand, the calming self-talk (i.e., using your Whitworth Stressometer your very own level 6 preference based better feeling thoughts) is deliberately and voluntarily chosen by you and whispered to you via free-will. The calming whispers are a voluntary choice and need to be based on your personal preference of what you want to hear instead. Level 6 thought processes differ from level 9 thoughts in terms of accuracy and balanced ratios of positive and negative viewpoints. For all non-life threatening situations you will want to listen to your more accurate and balanced views from your level 6 preference based thoughts.

So, begin your very own Calming Whispers today. Write them down and choose to say them for all of your stressful yet non-life threatening situations, because for any stressor the alarming self-talk channel will just start playing due to your adrenaline levels. Remind yourself you can choose to tune into your calming self-talk channel anytime if you are not in danger. It is up to you. If you are in danger then listen to the alarming self-talk and get to safety, then begin your calming whispers.

YOUR LEVEL SIX IS THE FIX: We usually only have 3 or 4 scary self-talk statements that our adrenaline surges intrusively deliver over and over again to our minds. Get to know what yours are. Write them each down. Then choose 3 or 4 preference self-talk statements to talk back to each one of your scary adrenalinized thoughts for all of your non-life threatening situations. Using your Whitworth Stressometer allow your level 6 preferences to talk right back to your level 9 thoughts. Think of it as a conversation you are in charge of, finally. Your level 9 alarming thoughts are only questions about how scared to be. Allow your level 6 preference thoughts to be your chosen answers each time you are not in danger. Write down 3 or 4 preference based thoughts of what you prefer to believe about your hard times and have them ready to use everyday.
