Nervous tension. |
|
Nervous tension. |
|
Is an unseen enemy of the human mind. |
|
Nervous tension can cause you to lack confidence in yourself, |
|
to lose your powers of concentration and to be inefficient in your work. |
|
Nervous tension can prevent you from relaxing, can spoil your leisure hours, |
|
and rob you of the sleep you need at night. |
|
Nervous tension. |

|
The purpose of this record is to train you in the art of relaxing |
|
both your mind and your body. |
|
Use it regularly. |
|
Train your mind through repetition, to follow the suggestions. |
|
Then you'll be ready to progress to side 2. |
|
The mind remains tense when it is restlessly turning over personal problems, |
|
worrying about financial matters, or the conflicts of daytime employment, or |
|
fretting over the troubles of the world. |
|
A mind so strained and tense cannot relax, even in sleep. |
|
Night passes in uneasy dreams, the body is not refreshed as it should be. |
|
But you can overcome this difficulty if you thoroughly relax your mind |
|
before you go to bed (?). |
|
Better still you can learn to relax from time to time during the day, so |
|
that nervous tension never builds up to an unpleasant degree. |

Nervous tension. |
|
You will carefully plan your course through life. |
|
You will think about your plans often. |
|
Think about it with interest. |
|
Think with pleasure of the satisfaction you'll feel as the plan becomes reality. |
|
You will firmly imprint in your mind this phrase: |
|
'I maintain at all times a calm, confident, cheerful state of mind.' |
|
You will repeat it aloud to yourself at least 3 times daily. |
|
You will give your mind and body the rest they need to restore energy. |
|
Very shortly you will no longer need to listen to my advice. |
|
You will absorb and understand the suggestions I have given you, and you will |
|
learn to give them to yourself. |

And now we shall begin. |
