Multi-tasking: What It Really Is

Multitasking is the hot buzzword right now. It invokes images of stressed-out office workers typing on a computer while talking on a cell phone and texting on heir smart phone. Or soccer moms driving Kid A to dance class, talking on the cell phone to get Kid B to soccer practice and taking a call in the middle of the conversation about organizing a charity event. Whew!
But… This isn’t multi-tasking. Well, not as the word was originally used. Those images are – well, chaos.

You are here because you want to lose weight.  Actually, you are here because your past efforts to lose weight haven’t worked.  Maybe some pounds have gone away, but they always come back.  They’ve gone away slowly, with great effort and pain.  And they come back quickly and way too easily.  You are looking for a way to lose weight quickly, permanently, and with no effort at all.  And no stress, right?  Let’s not forget stress management along with weight management.  So here is how you do it.

How Are You Coping With Job Loss?

Coping with job loss means more than just usual “stress management tips.”  You know that crap: breath deep, take a walk, mediate.  Yeah.  And that does NOTHING for the stress of cash flow, rejection, and family pressures.  Coping with job loss means more than being calm internally.  It means taking control of the external and attacking this new horrible stress.

Here are 5 ways to cope with the stress of job loss that regular stress management types won’t tell you about:

1. Plan your job search like it’s a campaign.  You are not in this alone, nut no one else is out of YOUR job.  Attack your job search like it’s the enemy.  Lay out a detailed plan of attack, including creative places to look for jobs.

2. Stay in shape.  Letting your health go will reflect when you are in job interviews.  Looking despondent, desparate, and unhealthy is not what “dress for success” means. You need to fight the effects of stress on the body.

3. Meditate.  But didn’t I put it down up there?  Yes, if that is all you do.  But meditating on your strengths, on your plan of attack, on turning job loss into the next step in your growth – yeah, that meditation is fine.

4. Time and goal management.  It is very easy, when you are laid off, to lose your schedule.  Approach this period as “my job is now to find a job.”  Plan your day just like when you had your last job.  WORK at getting work.

5. Keep in touch with people.  Network and learn what places are hiring.  Find out which of your friends is taking this time ot open a business and get in on the ground floor.  Use your family and friends to keep your spirits up.

Surviving job loss can be approached as the end of your life, or as the stepping stone to a new and better job or career.  I have been laid off twice.  The first time, the company just folded up.  It led me to 2 new jobs, then a new career as a lawyer.  The second time, it was an opportunity to move back to a place my family was more confortable, and to a position managing several offices.  In this position, I have discovered a passion of developing young talent.

So job loss can be a positive thing.  The period of job loss sucks.  No money.  Stress from family.  But coping with job loss can make all the difference.

Here are 3 products I have developed to help you:

Job Loss Judo – a manual to help you attack job loss like a judo master.

Stress Judo – a training program to turn stress into OPPORTUNITIES, whether job loss stress, workplace stress, family stress – whatever.  You will WELCOME stress.

Father’s Rights Library – if you are a father paying child support or visiting the kids that mom has custody of, these aggressive manuals might help you in court or to use discovery to turn her lies back on her.

Top 5 WORST Stress Management Tips

Everywhere you look, someone is offering stress management tips.  And most of them are all the same.  But have you ever thought about whether these tips are good or bad?  Whether they actually work or are just parroting what someone wrote?  Whether they will actually relieve the stress in your life or make it worse?

Here are the top 5 worst tips on stress management usually seen on the web:

1. Take a long walk.  Almost every site recommends this.  But they recommend this as is.  In other words, just walk away from the stress for a while. So what’s the problem?  The stress is still there when you get back! And now you have just wasted time that you could be dealing with it!  If you are going to walk away from stress, then either use the time to clear your mind and recharge your energy, or to think about solving the stress problem in an undistracted environment.
2. Meditate.  Now, don’t get me wrong.  Meditation is a vital part of stress management.  But just to say meditate, without anything else, is like saying just run your fingers up and down the key board and you’ll be playing the piano!  Try several mediation systems and find the one that fits you best THEN – meditate.
3. Practice visualization.   What are you visualizing?  Your heart attack as the effects of stress on your body wear you down?  Looking for a new job after you get fired for not staying cool under the pressure?  This tip should be practice visualizing YOUR SOLUTION to the stress.
4. Don’t eat comfort foods.  Staying fit and healthy is an extremely important component of managing stress.  But look at all the above tips.  Taken on their own, each one of them makes you feel better inside.   But now you are told not to eat foods hat make you feel better? What the—?  Eat comfort foods in moderation.   Feel good while you are attacking stress.
5. Stay calm.  Come again?   What people call stress is really their bad internal reaction to stress.  So telling someone who doesn’t know how to react properly to stress to stay calm is like telling someone who can’t swim not to drown.  You will be calm under stress when you have the confidence of knowing you can react to stress.

The problem with these tips is that they are surface level.  They don’t go far enough.  They don’t relieve the stress.  They just make you feel better – temporarily – inside, while the stress continues to give you an anxiety attack.

Learn to attack the stress.  Find a program that teaches you to get rid of the stress, not just handle it.  Focus on tackling stress head-on and tossing it out of the way, instead of focusing only on yourself and your feelings about it.  Stress doesn’t care how you feel and stress won’t become less just because you can picture a happy place.
