The way we react to bad stress is different for each person. I know when I’m stressed, I race around, drink lots of coffee and talk at a hundred miles an hour. My best friend though just retreats and finds comfort in food and a good red wine. You can see that we both handle stress very differently.
I probably fall into what is called a hyper personality when I’m stressed and I have found aromatherapy and Bach Flower Remedies work well for me. When I realize my bad stress levels going up I then also watch what I am eating and cut down on the caffeine. I also slow my mind down with meditation.

Getting a divorce is a very stressful time in a person’s life. It is a bit like losing a person to death but still having them around, which can be in itself quite distressing, and of course there is the hurt and/or betrayal which one side feels.
When I went through this many years ago I must admit I didn’t do well. I was very angry and this anger actually was not good for me or my family and I came to realize I was really only hurting myself by venting those feelings. This stress and anger must have sent my anxiety levels through the roof.

Stress can be a major factor in living an unhealthy life for women in particular. Many women are finding it difficult due to feelings of pressure and stress in their everyday lives. Stress relief for women can be very easy to achieve, especially when you know how. Keeping your stress to a minimum is now one of the greatest tasks most women need to learn.
One good strategy is to learn to prioritize. No one can do everything at once and you also have to have some allotted time for leisure and relaxation as well as your work. I am a person of lists so I follow my list and each day I feel I have achieved some things, if not all, and feel less stressed in the process.

 You may not realize that your office work space isn’t the most healthy environment for you to work in. There are so many things surrounding you that produce electromagnetic fields such as from your computer, the printer, photocopier and even the fluorescent lights. You can’t eliminate these risk altogether but be aware of them. Two things you can do is to not sit too close to your computer and when you aren’t using it then turn it off.
Carpets, walls and furniture can also be treated with a range of chemical finishes that can affect you. Natural flooring materials are much more healthy and a better alternative and use low odor paints and varnishes on the walls and furniture. Your lighting or lack of it can affect your sight and give you headaches. Try and place your work spaces near a window for natural light if possible.

I have spoken about this online store called The Unexplainable Store before but in the last week I noticed that my anxiety levels were rising again because of a few things happening in my life at present, and so I wanted to talk to you again about how the music they sell is such a great help to me in managing my anxiety. If something works then you should spread the news!
You know in yourself when your anxiety has reared its ugly head and sometimes it’s a surprise, and feels like it has come from nowhere, and at other times you know exactly what has triggered it. The good news for me is that when I realize my stress levels are building, I then can go and control it and reduce it to a manageable level with binaural beat music, and before it develops into a panic attack.

 People who handle stress in their lives show a very important trait, and that is, confidence. Being confident affects your life in a lot of ways. Confidence helps you make decisions and achieve goals and overall improves your control over your life because you believe in yourself. Being confident also in your abilities is a very big part for stress relief techniques. If you are confident that you can succeed tn then you aren’t afraid to act on your dreams and desires.
These people also approach problems differently from those that don’t handle stress well. They are optimistic about the outcome and their ability to do something and not just worry over the situation. They think of alternatives to their problems and take action. If you do nothing and just worry about your life then the situation will never change. This is a big solution for stress relief for a lot of people.

 Now the “Don’t worry, be happy” song had a simple message but can this simple philosophy be really achieved? Worry is something you choose to do and you do have some control over it. You can accept it, limit it or reject it, it is your choice.
Life is full of stresses but by adapting ourselves to be resilient and positive is a way we can live our life being happy. How we react to stress and problems in our lives will determine the outcome. Being happy within ourselves and knowing how to increase it is a way to make our lives more fulfilled and also more healthy. You have a choice so don’t worry, be happy as the song says.

I have been using visualization techniques for awhile now to achieve stress relief which in turn keeps my anxiety levels low. Through a mind technique like imagining my favorite sounds, sights and smells I can put myself into a more calm state and often it lifts me up to a happy and positive mood for the day.
My favorite “happy place” is a rock pool on a white sandy beach. I imagine sitting in the rock pool with the waves coming in and feeling the warm rush of water relaxing me as it washes over my body. I can hear the rhythmical sounds of the waves crashing on the shore around me, the warm sun on my skin and the smell of the fresh salty air.

Relaxation is so important in keeping anxiety at bay but it can be quite difficult to maintain. I work at keeping my stress levels down and music I found is great for this. This is a great video and it has great music. Please take some time out to put on some headphones, sit in a relaxed position, turn off your cell phone, close the doors and listen to this video.
This is a 26 minute video so you will definitely feel yourself relaxing. Save it to your computer and you can listen to it as often as you want. Just remember that the more you watch and listen the easier it will become to keep your stress levels down. Read the rest of this entry »
