One Way To Relieve Stress

Posted: January 24th, 2011 | Author: Dr. Bill Stillwell | No Comments »

There’s a group of people who get under my skin…who I refer to as
“worry warts.” You probably know several of this type yourself. As a
physician, they drove me crazy, because they would never take your
advice without hundreds of questions.

Let me tell you that there is nothing wrong with asking your doctor
questions, but at some point, you have to make decisions and not
just keep asking questions. There is a reason worry warts keep
asking questions. It’s because they are afraid of making decisions
and they are especially afraid of making any decision where they are
held accountable for their own. The questions are just a ruse to
keep them from taking any action.

I remember one woman, in particular, who almost drove me over the
edge. She appeared to be perfectly normal to the untrained eye and
had quite a resume of accomplishment. She would appear regularly,
with questions, which I would answer. She would always tell me that
“I think that is very good advice.” But then, three months down the
road, she would be having the same problems and would have more
questions. One day, it occurred to me that the reason she was having
trouble was because she was not following any of my “very good
advice.”

I confronted her about this and she was extremely defensive…then,
she admitted what I said was true. Then, she proceded to tell me
that although the advice I gave her was “very good,” her studies of
the available literature on the subject made her leery of making a
decision.

So I asked her, “If you can’t make a decision, how are you going to
correct your problem?”

This…as they say…stumped the band. I went even further. I told
her that she could not schedule another appointment, until she made
a decision about what she was going to do. She didn’t like this…
but she was wasting both her time and mine.

A year and a half passed…and one of my nurses told me she had made
an appointment. I told her that only two things could happen: either
she agreed to a procedure, or she got put on the Blacklist (people I
would not see under any circumstances).

And of course, she had questions. Before I answered, I told her
about her two choices and then answered her questions. She told me
she needed a moment to think about it, so I left her in an exam
room, and continued seeing people. Three hours later…three hours
later…she agreed to a procedure.

I scheduled her immediately and did the surgery, which was quite
successful. In her post operative visit she told me she should have
done it 3 years prior, as it would have saved her a lot of pain and
suffering, stress, worry and so on and such forth.

No s—, Sherlock!

So to it all sum up, if you want to take a load off, reduce your
stress level and relax a bit…learn how to make a decision. You
won’t always be right, but you’ll be a lot happier than a worry
wart.

Speaking of which, you can make a decision right now, to improve
your health and reduce your risk of heart disease, stroke, cancer,
