What To Do To Relieve Stress? Keep Your Friends Close

One of the worst effects of stress is when you “coccoon”: draw into yourself, stop talking with people, or – worse – snap at them. These are friends.  They want to help you.  But the distraction and frustration and anger that stress causes in you makes you drive them away.  You probably know the effects of stress on the body.  But you feel the effects of stress on your relationships.

Well, correction. It’s not the stress doing this.  It is not handling the stress properly.  Some people can live in stressful situations and have great friendships!  Picture your life when you can sit with your buddies and joke about the stress in your workplace or your family.  Want to know how to do this?  Click What to do to relieve stress.

Fighting Stress And The Anxiety Attack That Overwhelms You

For many people, the scariest part of stress is the anxiety attack that overwhelms you. Actually, the symptoms of anxiety can be radically different from person to person. One person may have debilitating physical symptoms, like shortness of breath, chest pains, headache, fatigue, and such. Another person may feel the emotional effects, like dread, panic, hopelessness, and temporary memory loss. And others feel a combination of both.

The definition of stress varies from person to person, but it can be generalized as any situation that makes your body revert to the “fight or flight” reaction. It is this reaction that triggers the anxiety attack symptoms. And if the stress is long-term, the effects of stress on the body can be physically devastating: high blood pressure, muscle pain, headaches, stroke, heart attack, death.

But trying to get by day-to-day dealing with the anxiety that accompanies stress is what most people are trying to do. The feeling of hopelessness and panic wears down your self-esteem. The feeling of dread means that your projects never get off the ground, and your relationships suffer.

I was reading an article on another “stress management” website that talked about what to do to relieve stress. And what were their recommendations? Take a walk. Remember your happiest day. None of which deal with the THING causing the stress. So guess what? When you come back from your walk down memory lane – the STRESS is STILL THERE!

5 Ways To Be The Envy Of Your Friends By Using Creative Stress Management

Stress affects your relationships with your friends and family. But not enough attention is given to that. You’re told to breathe deep or go to your happy place or just get away from it all. But these are not the reality of what to do to relieve stress. And they certainly won’t help how stress affects your relationships.

The problem is that the focus of most stress management systems has been on how you feel. Making sure that you are calm and feel good. But this does nothing to relieve the external stress that is wearing you down.

Using creative thinking to fight stress is an undiscovered stress relief tool. By using creative thinking, you can up with more ways to fight stress than “fight or flight.” Your friends will envy your calmness, your cool, your ability to persevere in the face of stress.

1. You will be less depressed. Instead of fearing stressful situations, you will actually look forward to them. Your friends will envy your attitude.

2. You keep calm because you can see solutions. There is no reason to panic if you see a way out. Your creative thinking skills will put you light years ahead of your panicky nervous friends.

3. A better reputation brings more opportunities. Once you gain a reputation for keeping your cool, you will be given more responsibilities.

4. Gain a positive attitude and confidence. Success reinforces success and successful attitude.

5. Have stronger relationships because creative thinking is a skill that can be used outside of stress management. You can bring creative thinking to where to go on a date to how to raise money to send the kids to camp.

Creative thinking is a key part of any stress management system. However, very few even mention it. Too many are based around 1 or 2 ideas. If stress came in 1 or 2 forms, or only affected 1 or 2 areas of your life, that would be fine. But stress hits many areas and needs many skills to hit back.

Improving your creative thinking will give you more options than “fight or flight” when you are confronted with stress. And it is more active than doing a bunch of calming or centering exercises. It strikes at the heart of the stress – and takes it out. And that’s the best way to manage stress.

3 Things To Inspire That Aren’t Spelled “ROCKY”

ROCKY is one of my favorite movies.  But it really isn’t very inspirational, because he loses at the end.   Oh, yeah, sure – he gets the girl, he overcomes his inner demons.  Blah blah blah.  Here are 3 things that inspire AND are winners.

1. Riverdance.  This is almost perfection.  No matter what you think of him, Michael Flatley created a worldwide phenomenon practically single-handed.  And the performances are unbelievable.  You want inspiration?  Watch this dance troupe and imagine the types of practice sessions they had to have to reach this level of performance.

2. James Joyce’s “Stephen Hero.”  A lesser known book, meant to read before “Portrait of An Artist As A Young Man.”  Again, very nearly perfect writing.  In fact, the first time I read this book, I kept having to re-read pages becuase I noticed that I was caught up in the beauty and rhythm of his words.  And it isn’t all weird like “Ulysses.”

3.  Police – “Zenyatta Mendatta”  Not the greatest album ever.   And I don’t even like every song.  But the ones I do like are just superb combinations of lyrics and music.  These 3 guys sound like 10.  And the lyrics are some of the best you will ever hear (especially compared to almost anything out there right now).  Again, imagine the effort that went into creating this.

The reason these things work as inspiration is that we – you and I – CREATE every day.  You don’t have to be an artist to create something.   Did you come up with a better way to file stuff on the computer? Creative.  Did you make that recipe a little better? Creative.

Seriously – THIS Is Stress Management?????

I saw this article on the BYU website about handling students and stress.  AndI remember seeing the same stuff when I was in school and at work and almost everywhere else.  Seriously.  Deep breathing and positive thinking?  Are you kidding me?   How is positive thinking going to handle the stress of having bad time management in the workplace?  How does deep breathing work to relive the stress of finding out your financial aid just got cut in half?

Handling stress the right way means attacking the source of the stresss and neutralizing it.  Making a stressful situation a non-stressful situation, as much as possible.  The financial aid thing? You can think positive thoughts all the way bak to your hometown fast-food joint, it ain’t gonna get ya anymore financial aid.   AND you will still have the stress.  But setting financial goals, developing a plan, networking with groups that offer scholarships in your major – THAT will solve your problem AND get rid of your stress.
