Dr. Marshall Weighs In On These Points

* You cannot stop emotions; however, by changing your thinking you can redirect emotions and reduce stress.
* Learn how to avoid being a victim regarding any situation, stimulation, or urge.
* Self-talk creates your reality and has a direct bearing on your feelings and stress levels.
* Choice ends when life ends. You are constantly making choices—both consciously and non-consciously. Being mindful of choices significantly reduces stress.
* You can control other people but you cannot change anyone but yourself. Learn how to influence people so they will change themselves to do what you want them to do.
* Influencing rather than aiming to control is more effective and reduces stress levels.
* Discover how aiming at obedience and perfection are pathways to stress.
* Problems and challenges can be easily resolved with solving circles - managing the dialogue. Stress is a box encapsulated by too few options.
