Gift Giving Saves Stress
Also Saving Time and Energy
Gift Giving, especially picking unique gifts at Holiday time and special
occasions often bring the greatest amount of stress and anxiety. It is that
stress that may contribute to cancer cells multiplying.
Often, our greatest desire is to please those
who we love by gift giving to them. What is a unique gift that they will enjoy? A gift that will
bring happy memories.
Stress is a major contributor to cancer. Interestingly enough we
are in control of how we handle stress.
We have one gland that controls all of our
emotions and feels. That gland is the hypothalamus gland located below our
brain. Let me say this to you: the hypothalamus gland is the facilitator and
the originator of the following life circumstances: All expressions of
·
Fear
·
Anxiety
·
Stress
·
Tension
·
Panic
·
Panic attacks
·
Phobia
·
Rage
·
Anger, and
·
Aggression.
On the positive side we find all expressions of
·
Love
·
Joy
·
Peace
·
Gentleness
·
Kindness
·
Patience
·
Goodness and
·
Rest
These are all released and facilitated by this
one gland.
It only response to you is emotionally and
spiritually. The hypothalamus is called the “brain of the endocrine system,”
but it is not a brain. It is a gland.
It is a responder to the environment of your
life. It will only produce what is happening deep within the recesses of your
soul and your spirit.
As I began the journey of
healing alternatively I desperately needed to stay in control in different areas
of my life.
I needed and desired to
live a normal life.
I worked a full time job
and endeavored to follow the new and often rigorous schedule of allowing my body
to heal. That regiment included resting. That was not hard to do, as my body
demanded rest.
It seemed that I was
changing so many areas of my life. I was overwhelmed and struggling with a new
lifestyle.
Health, energy and vitality
was coming back, however I had to continually focus on giving my body and mind
as much rest as possible and reducing stress.
Yet at the same time, I
wanted to lead an active and participant life. As we all know there are always
gifts to purchase and give to those special people in our lives.
Often without realizing it
we are inundated with emotions and thoughts as to what to give.
How much money to spend?
And lastly and most
importantly what does that special person want.
Money gifts, general gift
cards, flowers, candy are o.k. However I discovered that often they were spent
and used with no memorable gift connected to me. I too, have been frustrated
with restaurant gift cards, store gift cards, etc. It seemed I ended up
spending more time, energy and most of all money to use the card.
How could I give a gift
that was a lasting gift? I wanted my loved one to receive what they wanted. I
wanted a gift for them that required no additional postage, expense and most
importantly had a warranty. It seemed that I was asking for a lot.
I wanted to have the enjoyment and fun of seeing
my loved ones pick a gift of joy and delight with no additional cost. I wanted
to be a part of gift giving without the stress, energy, and decision making
required of shopping.
It was
then I was introduced to the gift collections Albums. What a delight! What fun
to give a gift that the recipient gets to pick out and know that I gave them the
gift! And I get to see the gift that they have chosen.
Best of
all I can choose a gift collection (album of 30-45 gifts) that is within my
budget.
