Stress Management...Can we live without stress
When you open the newspapers or magazines you will read all the time a lot of talking about stress and surprisingly in every level of our society and how to reduce it and thatEveryone needs successful stress management techniques.-- I agree with that but should we not think first what's all about stress;
since when exist the term stress? Why do we have in today's society so many problems with stress?
Has our today's living together produced that disease or did it come as a by-product with our society.
When did we hear the first time the word stress, came stress with the industrial revolution to our society or was stress already existing in generations before us but not with the termination "STRESS" as we know it today?
It is sometimes confusing...when I look back to my childhood nobody was really talking about stress; everyone was doing his job as good as one could and I can remember that all the people lived somehow happy. Okay, maybe not everyone was happy. Let's say besides the normal daily problems which exist in any society - and with folks living together - there was nobody talking about stress. In every generation before us... folks had problems this is the normal way of life at least until the day we live in paradise...
There were suicides perhaps not at the extend we have it in today's society, there were killing of other people but nobody claimed that the killer was stressed and he lost his mind, you read this nonsense in the daily newspapers and there will always be someone who has an excuse for -or blame it to something else and you might think that nobody is guilty for nothing because it is of his stress or what-so-ever.
Okay, there is no doubt about it that the word stress gave us new professional careers because there are so many different types of stress and every category almost has his own shrink-doc or therapist or what ever you call it.
Some specialist tell us stress is a result of poor nutrition, some tell us not having enough sex, pressure at work, the today's city traffic, the environment, the industry (unemployment), the level of education and so on and so on. We can count a lot more reasons of stress builder.
Nobody seems to know what the real reason for stress is, why some people feel stress in situations where other people don’t. Is stress not created since we were born..., the type of education we receive from our home (family), and doesn’t it start there? You hear as a child you can't get this or that because there is not enough money or the money is for more important things...so when you grow you think 'that you have to achieve more than your parents' to live a more unconcerned life or with more financial freedom.
You can go where you want or think of anything you like, but this type of thinking will bother you through your school-education and afterwards in your professional career. You have to do always more... to achieve more... and if you can’t reach it you will feel guilty that you didn't do enough for getting the result to reach your goal or putting your desire into reality.
When reflecting or meditating about your person maybe you can find the answer why you didn't achieve what you want, maybe you didn't desire it enough, or you didn't have the big vision...or you blame every one else and you never think that the problem might be with you. As they say 'everything you like to achieve you can do it'...you just have to form the right Mind-set. So, when reflecting about stress does that not have to do something with our thinking that we have forgotten to think more positive... and we never get rid of all those negative thinking.
Wouldn't we live together more harmoniously when we were thinking more positively and would this positive thinking not help us to live without stress?
Think about it...
For a better environment
Talk to you soon

A Few Steps To Control Your Stress
How to Avoid Stess…
Hey my Friends,
Is Stress making you Rage….
Than you should consider that this can bring you problems with your family, friends and even make you vulnerable in your business….
If stress has taken you so far than you should consider of doing something about it…
I’ll give you some steps how to avoid stress or at least reduce it to a stage were you do not heart any loved ones or your friends…
Intend to make a few changes in your posture, habits, thought, and behavior. These changes have a great impact toward reducing feelings of stress and tension. Here are some quick and simple steps you can do immediately to help keep your stress level under control.
>> Control Your Rage:
Observe for the next instance in which you find yourself becoming annoyed or angry at something trivial or unimportant, then practice letting go - make a conscious choice not to become angry or upset.
Do not allow yourself to waste thought and energy where you don’t need it. Effective rage management is an effective stress reducer.
>> Respiration:
Breathe slowly and deeply.
Before reacting to the next stressful occurrence, breathe three times deep and release them slowly.
If you have a few minutes, try out breathing exercises and meditation or guided imagery.
>> Calm Down:
Practice to speak more slowly than usual every time you feel overwhelmed by stress. You'll find that you think more clearly and react more reasonably to stressful situations. Stressed people tend to speak fast and breathlessly; by slowing down your speed of talk you'll also appear less anxious and more in control of any situation.
>> Take One Step At A Time:
Get in the habit of an effective time management strategy.
Take one simple thing you have been putting off (e.g. returning a phone call to someone you didn’t like to, or making a doctor’s appointment) and the best notice is do it now.
Just taking care of one grumbling responsibility can be energizing and can improve your attitude….
>> Refill Your Lungs With Some Fresh Air:
Get out of the room for a brief break. Maybe you have heard talking your folks about the healing power of fresh air even if we do not have the fresh air they were healing many years ago. Don't be deterred by bad weather or a full schedule. Even five minutes on a balcony or terrace can make miracles.
>> Don’t Starve Or Die With Thirst:
Drink a lot of water and eat small, nutritious snacks. Hunger and dehydration, even before you're aware of them, can provoke aggressiveness and exacerbate feelings of anxiety and stress.
>> Look Constantly At Your Posture:
Have your head and shoulders upright and avoid stooping or slumping. Bad posture can lead to muscle tension, pain, and increased stress.
>> Fill Your Batteries At The Day’s End:
Plan something rewarding for the end of your stressful day. Go out with your spouse and have a cup of wine and talk. Tell your problems your partner this will give him or her an understanding why you are so tense and it helps you to release that steam you have inside of you.
Sometimes it helps taking a relaxing bath or half an hour with a good book and a glass of wine.
The most important thing to do is put aside work, housekeeping or family concerns for a brief period before bedtime and allow you to relax.
Don't spend time for planning tomorrow's schedule or finishing chores you didn't get finished during the day. Remember that you need time to recharge and energize yourself - you'll be much better prepared to face another scheduled day.
To your success,
ANTON
