About Stress
You must reduce stress especially if you suffer from one or some
of these stress related problems:
Stress and Tension Headaches, Muscle Cramps & Spasms, Back
Pain, Neck and Shoulder Pain, Jaw Tension, Chronic Pain, Migraine
Headache, Cold Hands and Feet, High Blood Pressure, Asthma,
Arthritis, Stomach Pain, Digestive Disorders, Cancer, Stroke,
Irregular Heart Rate, Insomnia, Fatigue, Breathing Irregularities,
Profuse Perspiration, Alcohol or Drug Abuse, Sexual Dysfunction,
Anxiety, Depression, Emotional Instability, Fears, Phobias, Living
in Past or Future, Forgetfulness or Clumsiness.
Stress and the effects of stress may be reduced or eliminated if
you just stop and relax. If you learn how to rest your mind and body
during the day by using deep breathing techniques and relaxation you
could easily reduce or even prevent many stress-related
problems.
The problem with stress is that the constant presence of stress
hormones begins to wear down the body?s immunological system;
whatever part of the body is weakest will show signs of dysfunction
first. Some or all of the following may occur when you are stressed.
. .
- Your heartbeat increases to pump blood throughout the
necessary tissues with greater speed, carrying oxygen and
nutrients to cells and clearing away waste products more quickly.
- As your heart rate increases, the blood pressure rises.
- Breathing becomes rapid and shallow.
- Adrenaline and other hormones are released into the blood.
- The liver releases stored sugar into the blood to meet the
increased needs for survival.
- Your pupils dilate to let in more light; all the senses are
heightened.
- Muscles tense for movement, either for flight or protective
actions.
- Blood flow is greatly constricted to the digestive organs.
- Blood flow increases to the brain and major muscles.
- Blood flow is constricted to the extremities.
- The body perspires to cool itself, since increased metabolism
generates more heat.
Your stress response is appropriate if you are confronted by some
threat to your life. But most often in our society stress is
triggered by a situation which is stressful but not life
threatening. Your consciousness has developed to the extent that
emotions, ideas, memories and expectations can trigger stress. That
often means getting a little professional help to move you beyond
the mental and emotional triggers.
"I came across your website while surfing the net one night,
and found myself all "too well" fitting your description of a person
under stress. I ordered your tape, and I love it. Being a highstrung
person, I can't "ever" remember feeling that relaxed in my
life. Thank you, Julie Anderson
The Secret To A Stress Free Day
Seventy-eight percent of people interview say their job or
business is the basis for the majority of their stress. Recent
scientific studies have shown that absenteeism, illness and workmen
compensation claims went down while team moral went up when stress
reduction techniques were consistently applied. In order to
reduce stress you must take charge of your life.
Here are six
ideas mandatory to excellent mind and body health.
- Find ways to take exquisitely good care of your mind and body.
- Realize that your feelings and thoughts ultimately determine
the course of every action in your life. Control them.
- Understand that blaming anyone, including yourself, is a total
waste of time.
- Take responsibility for yourself, the choices you make and all
of your actions.
- Accept and love yourself as you are right now.
- Allow yourself to become the authority in your life.
While the causes of stress are plentiful, what can you do right
now to take some stress out of your life? Learn to breathe. Most
Americans normally breathe the shallow breath of the depressed and
stressed individual. Put you hand on your abdomen while you are
breathing normally. If there is minimal movement of your abdomen you
are very likely a shallow breather.
Change that. Breathing deeply and fully many times during the day
can make a significant difference in the way you feel. In order to
maximize your benefits, do it often and deliberately. Soon it will
become a welcome habit.
Here's how. First, with your hands on your stomach take a deep
breath. Notice your stomach rising as you inhale and then squeeze
the air out of your lungs using you stomach muscles. Relax those
muscles and breath normally. It feels pretty good, doesn't it?
Now that you have a simple idea of what a deep breath is all
about, let's do the kind of deep breathing that will make a
significant difference in your life over the long run. The way to do
that is to inhale, hold and exhale to the count of 4 - 8 -4. Do that
now? Inhale deeply as you count to 4. Hold that breath to the count
of 8 then exhale to the count of 4 again.
For some, doing a controlled breath for what seems to be such a
long count may be a stretch. You may have to work up to it, but most
people can do it comfortably. Deliberately take fifty or more deep
breaths each day. Once taking an extended deep breath becomes a
habit, you will find significant relief from many stress symptoms
such as head and body aches and pains. Your life will become more
orderly and calm and you can expect to simply feel better.
Compound the benefits of deep breathing with a powerful
relaxation program such as "Meltdown" and expect your entire life to
be calmer, your relationships friendlier, and your sense of well
being enhanced.
