How to combat distress with 4 As

I have completed doing my Simpleology courses quite sometime back and I do DTP at least 3-4 days a week. I was feeling like a non-achiever. This was affecting the growth of my business. Mark Joyner recommends doing the lessons over and over again so that you automatically get into the habit of improving your personal energy. I chose to do lesson 20 -Mental Poison. in Simpleology 103 that really made me feel so good and moved me to take consistent action. I would like to share here what impacted me the most

The Mayo Clinic advises their patients to combat Distress with ―the 4 A‘s.‖
Avoid – Outright avoid the thing that is causing you Distress.
Alter – Alter the cause. That is, if a person is doing something that is causing you Distress, you can ask them to stop doing it. If it‘s the racket your air conditioning unit is making, get it fixed!
Accept– Just accept that the stressor is there and choose not to allow it to have any power over you.
Adapt – Adapt yourself to the situation. For example, if your work environment is noisy, put on some headphones with some beautiful music that helps you concentrate.

Hence I made a commitment today consciously to combat distress with one of these 4As in my business

The best part is these lessons are presented in audiovisual. So whether you are predominantly Visual or auditory or kinesthetic, you will benefit from his course. I highly recommend his course.
