A wonderful definition of stress is "any change to which you must adjust". Most of us think of stressful situations as being negative: death of a friend or loved one, serious illness, losing your job, divorce, and so on. But happy and positive situations like getting married, moving to a beautiful new home, receiving a promotion cause stress as well.

Learning how to properly manage stress makes you a happier person and one that others will want to be around. Stress is contagious and if you are down about a problem, you will also bring others around down to your level. Self hypnosis teaches you how to relax and stay calm even under the most stressful conditions. It teaches you how to replace negative emotions with positive thoughts as well as what triggers your stress and how to avoid and control those triggers.
