About the Author
Peter Bothwell wrote “Stress Less Every Day” to share what he learned from
his own battle to reduce the effects of stress in his business and personal life.
Peter had thought that those effects on his health and his relationships were
the price he had to pay for his lifestyle. But, no-one has to trade their health
for their success.
Peter looked at many methods which are claimed to reduce or even eliminate
stress. He said, “I would try anything which might help me to become more
effective and lead me to the success I felt my efforts deserved.”
“I found that some ideas had worked great for some other people but were
less effective for me.”
“So, I have included information about a wide range of methods which may
be effective for some of my readers, not just those which were best for me.”
"I think that some methods were not right for me and some might have
worked better if I had tried them at a different time of my life.”
Peter emphasizes that he kept everything simple. “If it wasn’t easy for me to
understand, I dug until I understood it well enough that I could try the
method. Then, I wrote every word of my book many times until I was
confident that my readers would understand it so that they could decide what
might be worth trying in their particular situation.”
Reducing stress has made a great positive difference for Peter and those
close to him.
He hopes that every reader will also achieve more in their business and
personal activities after reading and applying the information in his book,
“Stress Less Every Day”.

Introduction
I hope that my ebook will help you to successfully reduce and, over time,
eliminate the bad effects of stress from your life.
I used to believe that the physical and emotional effects due to stress were a
price we had to pay to achieve the goals we strive for in business today.
But, the truth is that the stress will stop us from achieving the results we are
capable of and damage our physical and emotional well-being at the same
time.
The paperless office is a dream. Most of us find that we have to work more
just to keep up!
We all face greater competition simply because of the natural increase in
population and the impact of technology and automation.
There is also greater competition because younger people are learning the
new technologies by working with them as part of their world while we have
to learn to adapt our lesser understanding of technology to new systems and
ideas in our rapidly disappearing ‘spare time’.
When we sacrifice our leisure time to keep up with the new demands on us, it
can have serious effects on our relationships and our socializing in general.
I hope this book will help you with tips to get better control of your
aspirations, conflicting demands on your time and effort and the pressure it
brings to your life.
Some sections of this book contain material on positive thinking and other
popular psychology tactics. I have only included those which I had some
personal experience of or which I could find some recent research from
credible sources. I know from my own experience that the methods I’ve tried
have helped me or people I know well.
If you are skeptical or if it doesn’t fit your views you can skip the chapter, or
perhaps read it and do your own research when you have time.

Is Stress Normal?
Stress is a natural reaction to pressure of some kind being applied to us.
Stress occurs within our own bodies and is a part of our
basic structure. It has helped humans to defend
themselves in all kinds of potentially dangerous
situations since prehistoric times.
It prepares our internal systems to get ready to either
fight or flight.
Stress is caused by ourselves – not other people or
events. The problems we have with stress is mostly
because our reactions are too extreme or because we are prevented from
reacting as we would like to, so we cannot release the stress and move on to
other things.
Unfortunately, most people keep the stress within themselves and it
continues to affect our thoughts and actions in a negative way until our
minds are able to focus on other things.
Even when we start to deal with other, hopefully more positive matters the
negativity becomes stored in our subconscious.
Unless we have a positive mind-set, we continue to store more negativity
from every upset we encounter.
This becomes our standard reaction and that makes it much harder to break
the pattern and install more positive and beneficial practices.
I believe that this book will help you to overcome your negative routines
however long you have been using them.
Over time, it affects every part of our daily lives, both personal and business
and can have serious effects on our self-image and our health.
It’s true that our modern fast-paced environment puts a lot of pressure on us
and may reduce our ability to deal with it effectively.
