Anxiety and Stress : Stressed to the Max: Recent Episodes
Edward and Ingrid
Stress is the root cause of almost everything in our lives. We cannot eliminate it. But we can learn to manage it better and learn to add some form of relaxation into our daily lives. In this podcast we talk about everything related to stress and ways to improve the resulting anxiety and depression that can result from stress. Edward and Ingrid give helpful advice about dealing with stress from over 25 years of experience counselling patients who suffer from anxiety and depression as a direct result of stress
For those wishing to add stress and anxiety counselling to their practice, or who just wish to appreciate on a more advanced level all that relates to stress management please check out our Master Series Podcast at https://www.podbean.com/premium-podcast/masterseries
WARNING: This is a powerful meditation and will cause drowsiness and relax you fully. You may fall asleep while listening to it.
Ingrid wrote this special Meditation about Inspiration to help you relax your muscles fully and to help you concentrate on goal setting and achieving your goals. The meditation is so powerful that as I was recording it, I actually fell asleep, and you can hear me snoring in parts of the podcast. That's why we recommend you avoid listening to this while driving or using heavy machinery.
This meditation is good for helping you relax before going to sleep, when you are feeling extremely stressed out, or when you want to relax and set goals and help lead yourself into positive thinking. Positive thinking will help you achieve your goals and dreams easily.
Within the Meditation, Ingrid asks you to think about an intention or goal you wish to accomplish. This goal can be anything you wish to work towards. i.e.: relax more, spend more time with family, help potty train your child, get your dream home, get back to the mental and physical health you deserve, etc...

Struggling with low motivation. Trouble getting out of bed? Procrastinating on your homework or work project. Feel too lazy to get the mail and open it. Letting the dishes pile up in the sink? Loads of clothes to wash, but wear is that motivation? Motivation is key to a happier life, where we can deal with stress more effectively. We know that stress is unavoidable, but if we don't have motivation, how do we start that walking program or journal writing each day to help get us better? Good Motivation is the key foundation brick that we need to work on to start getting better, and to make our life feel more stress-free.
In this episode we discuss the importance of motivation, and go over 6 key strategies that we will incorporate into our stress-management program.
We love to hear from you about your challenges with motivation. Please write to us at covidlifepodcast@gmail.com
Please note that we post our episodes first at Stressed to the Max podcast at www.stresspodcast.ca. and then we post it here.
We do that because its the first year of the podcast, and really our first podcast ever, and we wanted to try out both buzzsprout and podbean as hosts for our podcast. Once 12 months are over, we'll only go with one of them. The only difference for now, is that the stressed to the max podcast may have more guided meditation episodes which Ingrid likes to do. She is a master of mindfulness therapy.
Thanks for listening and please email us your stories.
Using Meditation or relaxation therapy can be a great way to deal with too much stress.
We explore briefly meditation and the types of meditation that exist. Then Ingrid discusses in detail an intent focused Meditation that is featured in Dr. Joe Dispenza's book "Becoming Supernatural." The episode ends with a guided session of Meditation, that involves setting out a goal or intent, visualizing it as completed, and then following it with the meditation that is taught in this video. In the future, other forms of meditation will be discussed. If you wish to know more about meditation please let us know. Our email is covidlifepodcast@gmail.com.
