Explain what Stephen Covey meant when he said, "All things are created twice." How does this idea relate to stress management?


First we have a mental creation, the picture in mind of what we want to create. The second creation occurs when we do the things necessary to bring into the physical dimension the picture that was first created in the mind. When we fear something, our worry and fear produce images that we create about future events. We see the potentially painful outcomes happening in our imagination. These painful images are what initiate the stress response. The imagined event is as real to the mind as the event that actually is happening in our physical experience.
