Stress: why do we suffer from it.
Stress is a byproduct of our past from when we were hunter gatherers. It was important that when cornered or in a dangerous situation, the body was able to handle it. This was done through adrenalin and being able to fight to protect oneself and the tribe.
Now a day, we live in houses, drive to work and eat drink and live to accesses that our ancestors never even thought would be possible.
For the hunter gatherers, there was only the here and the now, they didn’t think about the past as it didn’t affect them anymore and they didn’t worry about the future as they didn’t know what was going to happen. They worried only about the Now, how much food they would have and would they be attacked by wolves or bears and other animals.
They didn’t have a 9 till 5 job, having to get the children to school or pay off the mortgage and credit cards, they didn’t even have houses, just caves and woods.
So you can see that we now live a fast and uncontrolled life compared with the past and even 150 years ago, people were living in less stressful times.
We have the problem of seeing our wages value go down just about every month and food, petrol, school fees and interest rates going higher and higher.
What does this lead to?
Stress, Stress and more stress.

So how do we control the stress?

Action.
1. Recognize the stress
2. Look at its causes
3. Look at ways to relieve the stress
4. Take action to relieve stress
5. Maintain the stress free level
Recognize the stress:
There are 5 main causes of stress:
1. Financial Problems – This is the number one cause of stress these days. You and your family are not be able to afford what you want to due to a lack of money. Credit cards, loans and bills are piling up. The rising costs of education, mounting expenditure on health concerns. Financial matters top the list of stressors.
2. Workplace Stress – Stress at workplace is another major causes of stress. You may be worried about your next promotion. You might be facing the negative or bullying behavior of your boss. You might not be reaching your well-deserved career goals; you might be worried due to office politics. You might be stressed about some major change that is taking place in the organization, or, you might be under stress because of the prospect of losing your job. You might be feeling left out because you don’t fit into the group dynamics of the company yet do a very good job.

3. Personal Relationships – This is another area of major stress, break up of a marriage, children not getting on well at school, illness in the family, elderly parents moving in for support, an unhappy house due to fighting and arguments, the moving out of older children, the empty nest syndrome and any number of other things that cause a stressful situation at home.

4. Heart diseases, hypertension, problems with eye sight and sugar afflict many people becoming a major cause of life stress for them. Maintaining good health, reducing weight, increasing weight, being able to lead a healthy life-style: all of these and a few more are the main causes of stress due to health concerns.

5. Irritants – Besides the ones that I have mentioned above there are those annoyances and irritations that you encounter in your daily lives which go on to become biggest sources of stress for you. Problems of commuting to the workplace, balance of work and family life, not having enough time with family. PTMs at children’s schools, workload, visit to doctor, not enough sleep, no time to relax, no time or someone to discuss nagging problems – who is not aware of these stresses and strains of our lives? We fight with these every day.

Now that we have looked at our stress and the reasons for them, it’s important that we find ways to overcome them and not let them destroy our lives.
How do we overcome stress?
Simple:
1 Recognizing the stressors
2. Putting action in place to overcome the stressors
3. Make it part of your daily life to keep stress away.
Recognizing the Stressors:
Look at your daily life, watch for the moments that stress you out, write them down and keep a diary of your reactions to the stress. Once you have understood the stressors, then it is easy to decide to change the stress and become stress free.
Overcoming the stress:
There are lots of ways to overcome stress, but the one I find most effective is where you sit yourself down in a quiet, semi dark room and either lie down or sit in a chair and relax.
In your minds eye, see a stream flowing down the mountain side, very slowly and just making a soothing sound of water flowing over rocks and old tree trunks in the water. Now look around at all the trees, see the different colour leaves and trunks of the trees. Look at the rocks in the stream and note the moss growing on some and the different colours. Colour is good, look at the banks along the stream and see all the small flowers growing along the stream bank and into the fields along the stream.
Now feel yourself relaxing, hear the birds singing and the squirrels jumping through the trees. Notice that as you hear more and more sounds, that you feel more and more relaxed. Now tell yourself, I am relaxing.
In your minds eye now see the colour red, feel the colour taking you deeper and deeper into your inner self. Say to yourself, I’m going deeper and deeper into my inner self and feeling more and more relaxed.
Now visualize the colour orange, again feel yourself being taken deeper and deeper into your inner self. Say to yourself, I’m going deeper and deeper into my inner self and feeling more and more relaxed.
Now visualize the colour yellow, again feel yourself being taken deeper and deeper into your inner self. Say to yourself, I’m going deeper and deeper into my inner self and feeling more and more relaxed.
Feel yourself slipping deeper and deeper into your inner being and as you go deeper feel yourself becoming more and more relaxed.
Now visualize the colour green, again feel yourself being taken deeper and deeper into your inner self. Say to yourself, I’m going deeper and deeper into my inner self and feeling more and more relaxed.
Feel yourself slipping deeper and deeper into your inner being and as you go deeper feel yourself becoming more and more relaxed.
Now visualize the colour blue, again feel yourself being taken deeper and deeper into your inner self. Say to yourself, I’m going deeper and deeper into my inner self and feeling more and more relaxed.
Feel yourself slipping deeper and deeper into your inner being and as you go deeper feel yourself becoming more and more relaxed.
Now visualize the colour purple, again feel yourself being taken deeper and deeper into your inner self. Say to yourself, I’m going deeper and deeper into my inner self and feeling more and more relaxed.
Feel yourself slipping deeper and deeper into your inner being and as you go deeper feel yourself becoming more and more relaxed.
Now visualize the colour violet, again feel yourself being taken deeper and deeper into your inner self. Say to yourself, I’m going deeper and deeper into my inner self and feeling more and more relaxed.
Now you will be in your inner levels of the mind.
Count from 10 down to 1 saying I am going deeper and deeper into my inner self.
Now stay in this place as long as you can, tell yourself that you can do anything and that all the stress in your life is gone and will not come back.
When you want to come out of the relaxation you start by visualizing the violet, then purple, then blue, then green, then yellow, then orange, then red. All the time saying I am relaxed and feeling better and better. Every day I will be stress free and be better and better. On the colour red, tell yourself, I am now awaking and will be refreshed and feeling on top of the world. Open your eyes and feel wide awake.
In the beginning this will take awhile to do, but once you have done it for awhile, it will be easier to slip into the state of relaxation.
Doing this relaxation method can lead to great results, you can add other things to this meditation for success. If you want more details on this please email me.

Stress And It’s Effect On Our Lives

Posted on April 22, 2012 by Robert

Stress: What is it?

Stress is the combination of external and internal factors that effect the way we function in life.

It’s roots are traced back to when we were more primitive and had to use our fight or flight functions all the time. Something that is less used as we have become civilised and domesticated.

In present day life, stress has both positive and negative attributes to it and an example of good stress would be someone who is a sports person, they have to set goals and objectives to attain higher and higher levels of fitness, endurance and core strength and stress has a lot to do with gaining those levels.

Bad stress can be seen as anything that effects our lives and causes significant problems such as  depression, diabetes, hair loss, heart disease, hyperthyroidism, obesity, obsessive-compulsive or anxiety disorder, sexual dysfunction, tooth and gum disease and ulcers and other possible diseases.

One place where stress is found is the work place, people often take there work home with them without taking anything actually with them, I mean by this that they go home, but never stop thinking about there work. Did I do my job well today? Is my job safe or will I get the sack or laid off tomorrow? Why don’t I get promoted? and so many other thoughts that can lead to lack of sleep and more stress. It is important that at the end of the day, you organise your desk or workspace and leave you work at work. Don’t take work home but go and do some exercise, swim, jog, work out in a gym or go for a walk. Learn and practice a relaxation method. Practice it and you will find your stress levels going down.

What can we do to reduce stress?

1. Exercise

Go to a gym, learn yoga, practice martial arts, learn Tai Chi, go for a jog, swim or find some exercise you like to do in a group and do it regularly.

2. Meditation

What is meditation and how to do it? Well meditation is the practice of looking inwards for peace of mind and control over the mind. The easiest meditation to do is the breathing meditation. 1. sit with your back straight as possible. 2. relax your body as much as possible. 3. bring your focus of attention to your breath, feel it coming in and going out, don’t elaborate your breathing, let it come in and out naturally and just follow it. Now the mind is tricky, so it will start wandering to other thoughts such as what’s on the TV right now, when it does, just gently bring the focus back to the breath. Do this for about 10 minutes to start with, don’t push yourself hard, but make sure you continue until the end of the 10 minutes. When the time is finished, tell yourself that you feel relaxed and happy, giving yourself positive affirmations. As you get better you can increase the amount of time you are meditating to 15 and so on.

3. Relaxation exercises

Sit or lie down on the floor or your bed with your arms down by your side. Don’t cross your arms of legs, now just visualize a beam of white light above your head flowing down to the crown of your head and as it touches the top of your crown, feel the crown and skin relaxing, feel the light come down the crown to the forehead and back of the head and feel all the muscles and skin relax, next it flows down to your face and back of your head to your neck, again feel your whole head, face and forehead totally relax, tell yourself that you are relaxing more and more. Feel the light come down to your neck and relax the front and back or your neck, telling yourself that you are relaxing more and more and believe it. Now the white light moves down to the shoulders, relaxing them and then down to the chest and the upper back, see all your tension flowing away, again feeling that all your tension has gone and you are felling more and more relaxed and stress free. Now feel the white light moving down the lower back and the stomach area of your body, again tell your self that you are feeling more and more relaxed and your body is feeling better and better. Now the light moves down to the legs, buttocks and thighs, feel the white light dissolving all the tension in your body, completely relaxing you, believe you relaxing and feel the light go down your legs to your ankles relaxing your calf muscles and ankles, now your feet are bathed in white light and your whole body now is relaxed and bathed in white light.

Now tell yourself. “I am totally relaxed” “I am in total control of my stress” “Every day in every way I am getting better and better” Always end any relaxation or meditation session with positive affirmation.

So as you can see, its not hard but it does take a little bit of time to do. Learning to relax will help you in so many ways.

If you have any questions or suggestions, please leave a message here.

Robert the unstressed.

Overcoming Performance Stress

Posted on April 18, 2012 by Robert

Performance Stress and What it Is?

Performance stress is the most common sources of stress in the workplace. With a working environment that constantly subjects its employees to  given sets of standard that have to meet, the amount of pressure can lead employees to question their abilities on a given task.
