Stop the Stress Habit:Change Your Perceptions and Improve Your Health

About this book:

"Stress is a constant in our modern world. But would you recognize the symptoms of someone so stressed they're about to blow?

You may be surprised at what you learn about yourself as you read Dr. Leslie Torburn's Stop The Stress Habit: Change Your Perceptions and Improve Your Health.In clear and convincing fashion, Dr. Torburn lays out the root causes and symptoms of stress, making a case for ways that even the most harried reader can find islands of solitude in the rough seas of society.

Using knowledge and examples from her 20-plus years as a physical therapist, Dr. Torburn takes us on a journey through daily life, pointing out the hidden things that can aggravate us and grow into larger problems. From clutter to other drivers on the road, through time demands and aging parents, the book gives practical and meaningful advice on de-stressing ourselves.

While there is no ultimate "cure" for stress, following Dr. Torburn's advice can provide a safety valve outlet that will allow the exit of the accumulated steam of the daily grind. Even in areas that are presumably out of our immediate control, such as world events, Dr. Torburn offers a simple yet powerful maxim: we have control over our own thoughts, even if we have no direct control over the behavior of world leaders.

Thus, advises the good doctor, channel yourself into positive actions. ... In short, by shifting your thoughts from powerless worry to direct action, you have lifted yourself out of a potential rut and into a better direction. After all, it is not the situation that causes you to be stressed, she advises, but the perception of that situation.

Certainly that is advice we all need to hear and take to heart."
