Family Money Management And Stress Management With A Realistic Budget

A major and consistent source of stress for most people is money.  Well, actually the stress is caused by spending more money than they bring in or have.  The answer to this is simple: spend less.  Yeah, and the answer to losing weight is spend more calories than you eat.  So let’s come up with a plan for realistic family money management and hopefully get rid of some of that stress with a realistic budget.
1. Do NOT make the traditional “money in, money out” budget.  This may help you understand the problem, and show you where you are spending money that you shouldn’t.  But the problem is that defining the budget this way is what governments do, and you know how hard it is for THEM to cut anything out.

Pain from stress is your body breaking down. After you’re done with this article you should be able to understand why using a comprehensive stress management system is necessary.

Pain and stress reduction is vital to stress management, because Stress management couldn’t even survive without pain and stress reduction. Eliminating stress by eliminating the stressor relates to this because the stressor is actually you stretching your limits. Both eliminate stress by eliminating the stressor and realizing that the stressor is actually you stretching your limits. And that brings us to how stress reduction techniques must be part of a plan.

Stress reduction techniques must be part of a plan vital to stress management. Reducing your inner reaction does nothing to reduce the stressor because stressful situations usually have an opportunity to grow. Reducing your inner reaction does nothing to reduce the stressor because the stressful situation, being an opportunity to grow, are very often external to you.

Both increasing your ability to resist and reducing the force of stress are important. Conclusion: Stress management is straightforward to understand.

JON AND KATE AND HOW STRESS JUDO COULD HAVE HELPED

Everyone is watching the unfortunate breakdown of Jon and Kate Gosselin’s marriage. It is now the saga of Jon and Kate divorce.  It is a private tragedy playing out in public.  And everyone is asking what could have prevented this.  Well, first and foremost, everyone should probably be looking at the characters of the people involved. And maybe STRESS JUDO could have helped.

 Having your every move, especially how you raise your kids, seems to be the definition of stress, doesn’t it?  And in such a high-pressure situation, simplistic stress reduction techniques like meditation or taking a break is clearly inadequate.  But the signs of stress were obvious to anyone who watched the show.   So what components of the STRESS JUDO stress management system could have helped them?

 The fourth component of STRESS JUDO is “self-examination.”  It is a key component of handling stress to periodically examine yourself to see how you are reacting to the stress. Are you handling it in a positive manner?  By engaging in self examination, you can review whether you are handling the stress, or whether it is overwhelming you.  Or, in the case of Jon and Kate, whether it is changing you into someone you don’t want to be.

 The sixth component of STRESS JUDO is spiritual growth.  This does not mean to pick a particular religion or philosophy.  It means to define your values and to handle the stress in line with your values and morals.  It means to strengthen your will and self discipline, to be able to withstand temptations to deviate from what you believe to be right and moral.

 The seventh component of STRESS JUDO is coaching.  You should have a coach or role model for how you handle stress.  At a certain level, this requires you to humble yourself to be able to learn from someone else.  This component also talks about coaching yourself.  Again, to engage in self examination.

 The above components are only 3 of the 12 components of STRESS JUDO. It seems to me these are the 3 most applicable to the Jon and Kate situation, to be able to have helped them.  Had either one of them really self-examined, he or she might have seen what the show was doing to him or her and to their family. Had either one of them examined his or her own values and philosophy, they would have seen how far the show and the pseudo-fame was pulling them from their core values.  Finally, had either of them used a coach – or even decided  to be his or her own coach – they would have seen that they weren’t handling being parents and celebrities very well.

Could STRESS JUDO have saved this marriage?  The answer of course is purely speculative.  But STRERSS JUDO has all the components to have given them the best shot at surviving the stress of the show and the fans and the pressures of sudden fame and fortune.  Maybe it can help your situation too.

STRESS MANAGEMENT OR STRESS REDUCTION? WHY NOT BOTH?

 The definition of stress is the internal resistance of an object to an external force. In other words, how your body and psyche react to forces outside you. There’s “good” stress – like how do you spend the huge lottery jackpot? But for most people, there is only bad stress. The stress that keeps you up at night, gives you high blood pressure, has you gaining weight and being snappy and surly to your friends and family. So should you “manage” this stress? Or reduce it? Or both?

Stress management is the overall term applied to how you consciously handle stress. But too many stress management programs are one-trick ponies. Use meditation, which makes you feel good inside, but does not attack the stressor. Use stress reduction techniques like problem solving may get rid of the stressor, but your body is suffering the physical symptoms of anxiety and stress.

The proper answer to how to deal with stress is to both manage and reduce it. By managing stress, we mean how you recognize the signs of stress and the effects of stress on the body. You control how your body and emotions react to the stressor. The purpose is to reduce the symptoms of stress, so that your body and mind are in a strengthened state, capable of fighting against stress. By stress reduction, we mean the techniques and tactics to attack and destroy the stressor. The purpose is to eliminate the stress, so that the effects of stress on the body stop being compounded by unrelenting stress.

To get maximum stress relief, your stress management system should be managing the stress and at the same time, reducing it. You actually do not need to choose. You can have a system that analyzes the stressor, strengthens your body and will to fight stress, and kicks your creative thinking and gime mangement skills into high gear, to eliminate the stress. The bad health effects of stress on the body are minimized. The effect on your emotions is elation and confidence.
