Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States of America, June 27, 2009 – Vivian Hildebrandt and Lynne Hoft share the things you must know about stress.

Vivian and Lynne have been lifelong educators and business partners for 10 years. Vivian has worked as a counselor and prevention specialist, helping stressed people by showing them their unlimited inner resources and how to effectively use them. Lynne is a licensed teacher and administrator. She is a certified trainer and has developed exceptional educational programs and curriculum. Over time, Lynne’s research created the foundation for the Brilliance programs of today. Together, in their company Back to Brilliance, they help people overcome and deal with stress and depression.

The fusion of their expertise resulted in the creation of the Brilliance Formula. The Brilliance Formula became the very foundation of their work. This formula is an easy and effective way to achieve natural stress relief and to help anyone live a happier life. Back to Brilliance meets the needs of people of all ages in their search for personal and professional growth.

Back to Brilliance programs are based on the realities that people face today. It is undeniable that with the fast-paced life that most people have, stress has become an every-day thing. This stress may be related to personal, financial or work-related events. Stress can adversely affect you and everything in your life. Although stress may seem unavoidable, Vivian and Lynne are here to assure you that it can be controlled and eventually eliminated.

Vivian and Lynne recommend that you should first examine what is actually causing your stress. Observing yourself and everything around you sets the stage for moving into a stress-free way of living.

The first step is to take control. You, of all people, are in the best position to choose the solution that will answer your stress-related problems. When you focus on the things that are advantageous to you, the solutions for your life instead of the problems, you can begin to eliminate your stress immediately.

The second step is to find the Brilliance in you. Every person has natural Brilliance within. Many people may not see it at first, but with a little analysis and experimentation, this step can be easily achieved. Brilliance helps you get rid of the habits of thinking and activities that are not beneficial to you. Emotions that are negative won’t provide any stress reduction and can quickly be eliminated by moving back into your Brilliance. Stress management becomes easy when you understand and practice these two steps.

Stick with natural stress relief. Prescription pills and other medications may make you grow dependent on them. It is best to choose healthy methods that really work to control and eliminate stress and the anxiety and worry it brings to our lives.

Our experience has proven that we can eliminate stress whatever the cause. When you understand its causes you are able to own your power to live stress-free and follow the steps to natural stress relief. This article provides two easy steps to get started, to make stress-free living a reality instead of a dream.

Stress Destroys Happiness

The impact of stress on our lives is pervasive. It can sap our energy, destroy our health, and leave us frustrated and hopeless. Often times this is an incremental process. You may be running as fast as you can to keep your job and then suddenly lose it. When we are too busy we might not notice the warning signs of stress. For example, many of us have put all of our money into our homes and still have lost them to the mortgage companies. Having worried for months that the worst could happen, we are then presented with an even more serious set of concerns when it does. And, we are living so close to the edge of our incomes that there is nothing left when an emergency occurs.

For the person who has avoided these extremes, life may still be filled with stress. We may be experiencing relationship problems, parenting challenges, workplace stress, and/or health issues with the latest epidemic headed your way. It seems that our neighborhoods are no longer safe, our leaders are no longer trustworthy, our world is filled with poverty and despair, and our planet is endangered. We’re feeling anxious, overwhelmed, angry, worried, afraid, and weary.

It’s possible that we’ve been in these patterns for so long that our stressed out lives appear normal to us. Sometimes we wonder when we last had a sense of security and a moment of peace and happiness.

Real Solutions for Stress Reduction

There are many popular cures for stress. Your doctor may prescribe little pills and your guru will show you the benefits of yoga and deep breathing.

Your friends will invite you out for a night of drinking and your associates at work will tell you how to take short cuts on the job. Exercise, a walk in the woods, time alone and a short nap are some other ways that people unwind and reduce stress. None of these give natural stress relief, create a permanent change, or completely eliminate stress.

Our unique approach to stress provides real solutions that stop stress at its source. First, thinking is at the center of all of our responses to stress. Second, most people don’t realize that they have an inborn wisdom, which we call Brilliance, that is always available to give insights and answers to the problems we face. There is a formula we have identified that will shift our thinking and return us to our natural Brilliance whenever we remember to apply it. This formula provides the most natural stress relief available.

When we think about problems, that is what is present to us. When we think of solutions then they are present to us. A simple shift of focus determines what we experience – a life full of problems, or a life full of solutions. Solutions give us energy whereas problems drain it away. Your first step to stress-free living is to choose to focus on solutions for yourself and the world.

The second step to stress-free living is to get in touch with your natural Brilliance. One way to do this is to recognize when you’re stuck in your computer thinking, all those old beliefs and habits of thought that no longer work for you. Follow your feelings of frustration, worry, or anger to identify when you’ve gotten lost in your computer mind. Then stop, and listen to your Brilliance for better solutions to your problems. These answers may be immediate or may take some time. Keep your attention off your problems by doing something that relaxes you. Know that your answer from your natural Brilliance is on the way.

This Brilliance Formula Will Work for You

If you use this formula it will work for you. You don’t have to think about your thinking, you just need to choose which thoughts you want to give your attention to. Practice this and you will get better and better at solving your problems and creating what you want. Stress reduction will follow naturally.

When you work from your Brilliance there is no room for worry, anxiety, or fear. The solutions you desire bring with them the feelings of hope, confidence, and peace of mind. With this approach you can turn your life from stressful to stress free.

Life without Stress

Can you imagine what your life would be like without stress? Without stress you have time to do what makes your life fulfilling. Your relationships bring happiness into your life. Any challenges you face are met with confidence in your ability to find real solutions that will work for the long term.

Human beings are meant to live with light hearted appreciation and the joy of being alive. Learning to live without stress is real. You can love your life, enjoy your family, and make the world a better place.

Get OFF The Stress Train

It’s time to get out the word. In this crazy, upside-down world where everything is changing at the speed of sound, are you ready to get off the stress train and free yourself to travel to a new destination called stress relief?

• If you feel like you are running in circles most of the time, like a dog chasing its tail, your body is stressed.
• If you feel tired, maybe exhausted, and possibly irritable a lot of the time, your emotions are stressed.
• If you have problems sleeping and you can’t relax because your thoughts are running a mile a minute, your mind is stressed.

As a quick example, when you get caught in a traffic slow-down, do you immediately get angry and curse under your breath, or do you take a time-out and turn up the radio to your favorite station until the cars begin to move again?

Whichever way you reacted depends on what you were thinking at the time. “I hate this freeway, and I’ll never get to my meeting tonight” leads to frustration and other feelings related to stress. “I think I’ll flip to LOVE 101 or WCCO 850 and catch the latest song or news and breathe easy for a minute” will lead you to relaxation and enjoyment.

It’s pretty simple: our thinking is at the center of all of our responses to stress. An exception is environmental stressors to our bodies. Defensive responses experienced when we are physically or emotionally threatened is another. But in reality, most of our stress is linked to our thinking, to our mindset.

With this in mind, we can begin to get off those train tracks of stress. Although a real train ride can be relaxing, the tracks lead in one direction and you can’t get off until you can get off. In real life a ride on the stress train only leads to more of the same scenery—we begin to see stress everywhere. It’s time to learn the secrets to getting off the train and get moving toward a new mode of transportation—one that is truly stress free.
