How To Relieve Health Related Issues From Work Related Stress

Let’s face it. No one wants to be around someone who is always complaining. Or always distracted. Or who is unreliable. But isn’t that pretty much how you get around your family and friends when you suffer from health related issues from work related stress? It’s painful, not having your friends around when you need them most.

But if you are driving them away, then you need to handle your stress better. Focusing on the effects of stress on the relationships in your life may be just as important as focusing on the effects of stress on the body.

Time management is a key component – but not the only one – of handling stress. Many people think time management is only for the workplace. But using time management, along with creative problem solving, meditation techniques, and other elements of a complete stress management system, can save your relationships also.

Here are some ways to use time management to handle stress. This will eliminate most of the problems above, so your friends can enjoy being around you again.

1. You can schedule time with your family and friends. Too often, time with your family and friends is scheduled around work, activities, or other distractions. By scheduling this time, you can focus on your friends, without the anxiety attack that you are taking time from work.

2. You can set priorities. Your time management system can remove the stress of “I should be doing a dozen other things” by properly prioritizing your work. When you know some things are not priorities, you don’t feel stress by not working on these things.

3. You can focus on work or your friends. Nothing is more annoying than realizing that the person you are talking with is mentally 1000 miles away. A quality time management system will virtually force you to focus on work during work periods, and friends during friend periods.

4. You aren’t depressed and bringing your friends down. Long term stress leads to depression. Short term stress can make you depressed, just from fighting it. So how many times have you killed your friends’ buzz just because you are too depressed and too stressed to have a good time? Managing your time to allow for focused attention to the stress, with periods of rejuvenation mixed in, should lift the depression.

5. You can attract new friends. When you are not stressed – when you have a positive attitude – when you have a reputation as a “go to” person – you will have people asking to be your friend. Setting goals and hitting goals will make you very positive and very attractive.

Handling how stress affects your health is one thing. Handling how stress affects your emotions and attitude is another. By using time management and 11 other components of a comprehensive stress management system, you can get rid of your “bad attitude” and enjoy your friends again. You can replace the definition of stress in your life with the definition of happiness.

5 Ways To Handle The Physical Symptoms Of High Blood Pressure

High blood pressure can lead to heart attacks, stroke, and death.  You should have your blood pressure checked by a doctor on a regular basis.  If the doctor prescribes medication, you should take it as prescribed.  The main reason for having your blood pressure checked by a doctor is that there are very few physical symptoms of high blood pressure. And the ones you do see are often confused with other causes.

Some of these symptoms are: headache, dizziness, blurred vision, drowsiness, and nausea.  All of these can be explained by some other cause.  Sometimes people are under stress so long that they can’t distinguish the bad health effects of stress  anymore.  Which means that the high blood pressure is left untreated, and ti gets worse.  And stress elevates blood pressure.  But you can use aggressive stress management techniques to handle the stress, and lower your blood pressure.

Here are 5 ways to aggressively attack stress to lower your blood pressure:

1. Use creative problem solving to handle stress better.  The natural reaction to stress is “fight or flight.”  You can creatively come up with more solutions.
2. Use meditation appropriately.  Meditating can relieve some of the inner effects of stress and make you feel better. But it does nothing to eliminate the stress.  Use meditation to not only calm yourself down, but open your mind to creative possibilities.
3. Develop your own stress management process.  Any stress management system that you learn was developed by someone else for someone else’s problems.  Take the techniques that work from each system and create your own.
4. Stay in shape.  Stress weakens the various systems of your body, which gives you less energy to fight the stress.  By staying in shape, you can fight the stress, not just tolerate it.
5. Use an effective time management system.  Stress from impossible deadlines is bad.  Stress from interruptions is worse. But having a time management system that not only permits, but demands, that you reject time-wasting interruptions, can relieve much stress in your life.

If you don’t do handle stress, your high blood pressure will get worse.  But knowing what to do to relieve stress can help lower your blood pressure.  With the lower blood pressure, you can reduce the chances of heart attack or stroke.  Of course, there are other causes of those conditions that also must be looked at.  But removing stress as a cause can focus your efforts.

Handling stress involves internally handling your reactions, but also externally eliminating the stressor.   Using this dual approach might be the most effective way to reduce or eliminate the signs symptoms of panic attacks and lower your blood pressure.  Probably meditation or visualization is part of what you are doing to relieve stress.  But this is not enough.  That’s like helping a quarterback learn not to feel bad when he throws an interception.  Wouldn’t it be better to teach the quarterback to simply not throw interceptions?  Using a comprehensive stress management system will eliminate the stress and give you lower blood pressure.

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.
