The A-B-C Model Helps You Manage Stress
It Enhances The Age Old Wisdom:
“We are not disturbed by the event but rather by how we interpret or view the event.”
A − Action
B − Belief
C − Consequences
1. “Picture” an that happened recently.
2. What were your about that event?
3. What were the of your beliefs?
• What was your emotional response to that Action? Were you happy or angry?
• What behavior did you display based on your Beliefs? Did you clap your hands in joy or slam your
...fist down in anger and frustration?
• What was your physiological response − or the Consequences of your beliefs? Did you become calm
...or develop a headache?
You will learn to "Break The Stress Barrier" in the Larkinetics Inc. lectures - by interrupting your response between step one – the Action - and step two - the Belief.
Our ability to respond to any given situation is a simple definition of taking responsibility. We can re-program a habitual negative stress response in order to become more resilient to stress. By controlling our response we are able to achieve more emotional equilibrium, mental acuity - and radiant physical health.
The A-B-C Model Is Your Own Built-in Biofeedback Machine
Think of a pet peeve. Really get into it. The physical tension builds. Now think of something profoundly positive. A smile spreads across your face. Your thoughts create your feelings and therefore your physiology. Many people believe that the mind and body are at odds. Changing your “self-talk” − the “inner messages” you give yourself - can help bring the two together as a team. This teamwork between the mind-body connection is enhanced by a regular fitness routine - and greatly diminishes stress levels.
Learning How To Comfortably Live In Your Physical Body Changes The Body-Mind Message
Learning to recognize and change inefficient habitual movement patterns is life transforming. Using everyday movements as opportunities to rediscover efficient motion is a profound way to reduce stress.
Don’t Let Gravity Get You Down
An obscure but significant fact is the majority of the population has an average head angle that is excessively forward. Can you imagine the stress upon the entire body alignment when the head
weighing 12 – 15 lbs. juts forward?
