❏ An ill-at-ease feeling with a goal you have set yourself or
one you have accepted from someone else.
❏ Times when the right hand just does not seem to know what
the left hand is doing.
❏ Phases of life when you feel that how you are living and
working is not being true to the way you really want to be.The following were incidents when either I or one of my
colleagues was being given signals by our bodies to which we
needed to pay attention:❏ A headache when faced with someone who seemed
determined to oppose everything that was suggested.
❏ A recurrent illness that seems to be triggered by stress.
❏ An earache when someone close was constantly
complaining about the relationship with them.
❏ A frozen shoulder at a time when others’ needs were taking
precedence over their own.
❏ Sickness when faced with unwelcome change.And there are subtler bodily signals that indicate a lack of
coherence:❏ An asymmetrical posture.
❏ Indicating an issue on one hand in conflict with an issue on
the other hand (the hands used literally to illustrate this).
❏ A stammer when talking about a particular issue.
❏ A difficulty of vision when unable to focus on a future goal.I am sure you can add many other examples of conflict within
yourself that you may be experiencing or have experienced in
the past. We live in a world where the pace of change and the
pressures to which we can succumb can lead easily to stress
and frustration.Why is it important to find a way to resolve these forms of
stress? Most of us want some form of peace in our lives.328 NLP AT WORK
