5 minute daily stress management

"Relaxing with a Mental PDA" Your 5 minutes daily program to Stress management

We all have this favorite expression when it comes to being stressed out, and I wouldn't bother naming all of them since it may also vary in different languages. But when it comes down to it, I think that it is how we work or even relax, for that matter that triggers stress. Ever been stressed even when you're well relaxed and bored? I know I have.

Since Error! Hyperlink reference not valid. is unavoidable in life, it is important to find ways to decrease and prevent stressful incidents and decrease negative reactions to stress. Here are some of the things that can be done by just remembering it, since life is basically a routine to follow like brushing your teeth or eating breakfast. You can do a few of them in a longer span of time, but as they say-- every minute counts.

Managing time

Time management skills can allow you more time with your family and friends and possibly increase your performance and productivity. This will help reduce your stress.

To improve your time management:

· Save time by focusing and concentrating, delegating, and scheduling time for yourself.
· Keep a record of how you spend your time, including work, family, and leisure time.
· Prioritize your time by rating tasks by importance and urgency. Redirect your time to those activities that are important and meaningful to you.
· Manage your commitments by not over- or undercommitting. Don't commit to what is not important to you.
· Deal with procrastination by using a day planner, breaking large projects into smaller ones, and setting short-term deadlines.
· Examine your beliefs to reduce conflict between what you believe and what your life is like.
Build healthy coping strategies

It is important that you identify your coping strategies. One way to do this is by recording the stressful event, your reaction, and how you cope in a stress journal. With this information, you can work to change unhealthy coping strategies into healthy ones-those that help you focus on the positive and what you can change or control in your life.

Lifestyle

Some behaviors and lifestyle choices affect your stress level. They may not cause stress directly, but they can interfere with the ways your body seeks relief from stress. Try to:

· Balance personal, work, and family needs and obligations.
· Have a sense of purpose in life.
· Get enough sleep, since your body recovers from the stresses of the day while you are sleeping.
· Eat a balanced diet for a nutritional defense against stress.
· Get moderate exercise throughout the week.
· Limit your consumption of alcohol.
· Don't smoke.

Social support

Social support is a major factor in how we experience stress. Social support is the positive support you receive from family, friends, and the community. It is the knowledge that you are cared for, loved, esteemed, and valued. More and more research indicates a strong relationship between social support and better mental and physical health.

Changing thinking

When an event triggers negative thoughts, you may experience fear, insecurity, anxiety, depression, rage, guilt, and a sense of worthlessness or powerlessness. These emotions trigger the body's stress, just as an actual threat does. Dealing with your negative thoughts and how you see things can help reduce stress.

· Thought-stopping helps you stop a negative thought to help eliminate stress.
· Disproving irrational thoughts helps you to avoid exaggerating the negative thought, anticipating the worst, and interpreting an event incorrectly.
· Problem solving helps you identify all aspects of a stressful event and find ways to deal with it.
· Changing your communication style helps you communicate in a way that makes your views known without making others feel put down, hostile, or intimidated. This reduces the stress that comes from poor communication. Use the assertiveness ladder to improve your communication style.

Even writers like me can get stressed even though we're just using our hands to do the talking, but having to sit for 7 or 8 hours is already stressful enough and have our own way to relieve stress. Whether you're the mail guy, the CEO, or probably the average working parent, stress is one unwanted visitor you would love to boot out of your homes, especially your life.

7 Day Stress Management Program

"Have One Week, Will Relax" Your 7 days program to Stress management

They say there's more than one way to skin a cat. The same goes when you start tearing your hair out with all the frustration, grief, anxiety, and yes, stress. It's a state of mental conditioning that is like taking that bitter pill down your throat, causing you to lose your sense of self, and worse your sanity. Just thinking about it can drive anyone off the edge.

And they say that the proactive ones are already living off the edge.

As one stressed-out person to another, I know how it feels, and believe me there are many variants when it comes to stress. Coping with life, and carrying the problems that may or may not belong to you can scratch away the little joy and happiness that you can carry once you head out that door. You can't blame them for being like that; they have their own reasons, so much like we have our reasons to allow stress to weigh us down. They say that stress is all in the mind, well, what's bugging you anyway?

There are several ways to manage stress, and eventually remove it out of your life one of these days. So I'll try to divide it into a seven-day course for you and I promise it's not going to be too taxing on the body, as well as on the mind.

1. Acknowledge stress is good
Make stress your friend! Based on the body's natural "fight or flight" response, that burst of energy will enhance your performance at the right moment. I've yet to see a top sportsman totally relaxed before a big competition. Use stress wisely to push yourself that little bit harder when it counts most.

2. Avoid stress sneezers
Stressed people sneeze stress germs indiscriminately and before you know it, you are infected too!

Protect yourself by recognizing stress in others and limiting your contact with them. Or if you've got the inclination, play stress doctor and teach them how to better manage themselves.

3. Learn from the best
When people around are losing their head, who keeps calm? What are they doing differently? What is their attitude? What language do they use? Are they trained and experienced?
Figure it out from afar or sit them down for a chat. Learn from the best stress managers and copy what they do.

4. Practice socially acceptable heavy breathing
This is something I've learned from a gym instructor: You can trick your body into relaxing by using heavy breathing. Breathe in slowly for a count of 7 then breathe out for a count of 11. Repeat the 7-11 breathing until your heart rate slows down, your sweaty palms dry off and things start to feel more normal.

5. Give stressy thoughts the red light
It is possible to tangle yourself up in a stress knot all by yourself. "If this happens, then that might happen and then we're all up the creek!" Most of these things never happen, so why waste all that energy worrying needlessly?


http://www.discountrx.net.tf



Give stress thought-trains the red light and stop them in their tracks. Okay so it might go wrong - how likely is that, and what can you do to prevent it?

6. Know your trigger points and hot spots
Presentations, interviews, meetings, giving difficult feedback, tight deadlines…. My heart rate is cranking up just writing these down!

Make your own list of stress trigger points or hot spots. Be specific. Is it only presentations to a certain audience that get you worked up? Does one project cause more stress than another? Did you drink too much coffee?

Knowing what causes you stress is powerful information, as you can take action to make it less stressful. Do you need to learn some new skills? Do you need extra resources? Do you need to switch to decaf?

7. Burn the candle at one end
Lack of sleep, poor diet and no exercise wreaks havoc on our body and mind. Kind of obvious, but worth mentioning as it's often ignored as a stress management technique. Listen to your mother and don't burn the candle at both ends!

So having stress can be a total drag, but that should not hinder us to find the inner peace of mind that we have wanted for a long time. In any case, one could always go to the Bahamas and bask under the summer sun.

This article is about state anxiety. For information on susceptibility to anxiety, see trait anxiety.

Anxiety is a physiological state characterized by cognitive, somatic, emotional, and behavioral components (Seligman, Walker & Rosenhan, 2001). These components combine to create the feelings that we typically recognize as fear, apprehension, or worry. Anxiety is often accompanied by physical sensations such as heart palpitations, nausea, chest pain, shortness of breath, stomach aches, or headache. The cognitive component entails expectation of a diffuse and certain danger. Somatically the body prepares the organism to deal with threat (known as an emergency reaction): blood pressure and heart rate are increased, sweating is increased, bloodflow to the major muscle groups is increased, and immune and digestive system functions are inhibited. Externally, somatic signs of anxiety may include pale skin, sweating, trembling, and pupillary dilation. Emotionally, anxiety causes a sense of dread or panic and physically causes nausea, diarrhea, and chills. Behaviorally, both voluntary and involuntary behaviors may arise directed at escaping or avoiding the source of anxiety and often maladaptive, being most extreme in anxiety disorders. However, anxiety is not always pathological or maladaptive: it is a common emotion along with fear, anger, sadness, and happiness, and it has a very important function in relation to survival.

Neural circuitry involving the amygdala and hippocampus is thought to underlie anxiety (Rosen & Schulkin, 1998). When confronted with unpleasant and potentially harmful stimuli such as foul odors or tastes, PET-scans show increased bloodflow in the amygdala.[1][2] In these studies, the participants also reported moderate anxiety. This might indicate that anxiety is a protective mechanism designed to prevent the organism from engaging in potentially harmful behaviors.

Stress Free

Not long ago I posted a pain list that I use to gauge my pain levels and adjust my daily routine according to it. I went looking for something similar on the internet for that is where I found the one that I use but I could not find any stress level lists so I created my own.

  • Stress level 0 Asleep restfully
  • Stress level 1 Tranquil and at peace with the environment
  • Stress level 2 Upset but controlled responses
  • Stress level 3 Bewildered - Confused but still willing to talk
  • Stress level 4 Very Annoyed - Some angry thoughts
  • Stress level 5 Agitated - Some verbalization but still controlled
  • Stress level 6 Angry - Having trouble maintaining self control
  • Stress level 7 Furious - So angry that you don't make sense all the time
  • Stress level 8 Frantic - Nearing the point of hysteria
  • Stress level 9 Stage 1 Panic
  • Stress level 10 Stage 2 Panic beyond reason
While this list may not reflect your own stress levels it sure helps me to understand where I'm currently at and then I do my meditation to calm down. Meditation doesn't have to take a long time but can be done on a regular basis. Some people meditate by praying and this is a good thing if you are acceptable to prayer.

Blood Blister

The highlights about a blood blister
clipped from www.answers.com

blood blister


Intracutaneous hematoma.




blood blister

A blood blister is a type of blister that forms when subdermal tissues and blood vessels are damaged without piercing the
skin. It consists of a pool of lymph, blood and other
bodily fluids trapped beneath the skin. If punctured, it suppurates a dark red fluid. Sometimes the fluids are cut off from the
rest of the body and dry up, leaving behind dead cell material inside the blister. It tends to have a texture like
putty. Some blood blisters can be extremely painful due to the leaked blood touching
nerves within the part of the body where the blister occurred.

Prevention

Common areas that suffer from blood blisters include the hands and feet.

Pain Today

Pain today started out on the high side so I took a pain pill.  I do not like to take the pain pills as it makes it difficult to stay awake and function.  Today I am testing out new blog editors.  I found one that I like but of course it cost $50 while Windows Live is free and more cost effective.

So far I'm liking this blog editor.  I just hope that the other programs that comes with windows live doesn't interfere.

Painful Dayz

Today I am having another very painful day. It is very cold and damp outside. I am having what I would describe as a level 8 (see scale below) pain day. I have taken a pain pill and what I need to do is go put my heating pad on my arm / shoulder and relax till the pill takes affect but I won't. I want to write this blog entry and get it posted. With all the interuptions that I have it is very difficult to concentrate on what I want to write. What to do when the pain gets to be too much. What do you do when the doctor makes you cut back on the pain medications? I have a friend who is going to have major back surgery and is in so much pain at times that he gobbles the pain pills then the doctor makes him cut in half what he was taking. He told me that he is now taking some sort of vitamin to help relieve the stress of cutting back so much. I will get the name of the vitamin and post it here.

  • 0 Pain Free No medication needed.
  • 1 Very minor annoyance - occasional minor twinges. No medication needed.
  • 2 Minor annoyance - occasional strong twinges. No medication needed.
  • 3 Annoying enough to be distracting. Mild painkillers are effective. (Aspirin, Ibuprofen.)
  • 4 Can be ignored if you are really involved in your work, but still distracting. Mild painkillers relieve pain for 3-4 hours.
  • 5 Can't be ignored for more than 30 minutes. Mild painkillers reduce pain for 3-4 hours.
  • 6 Can't be ignored for any length of time, but you can still go to work and participate in social activities. Stronger painkillers (Codeine, Vicodin) reduce pain for 3-4 hours.
  • 7 Makes it difficult to concentrate, interferes with sleep You can still function with effort. Stronger painkillers are only partially effective. Strongest painkillers relieve pain (Oxycontin, Morphine)
  • 8 Physical activity severely limited. You can read and converse with effort. Nausea and dizziness set in as factors of pain. Stronger painkillers are minimally effective. Strongest painkillers reduce pain for 3-4 hours.
  • 9 Unable to speak. Crying out or moaning uncontrollably - near delirium. Strongest painkillers are only partially effective.
  • 10 Unconscious. Pain makes you pass out. Strongest painkillers are only partially effective.

Friday, December 07, 2007

I've been using Watkins products for a very long time now.  When the pain is just beginning I spray relief to my hard to reach neck and shoulders.  What do you use? I also use heat where most people use a cold pack to reduce inflamation.


It has been quite cold and rainy here the past couple of weeks.  I'm in Southern Oregon and winter came quickly this year.  We didn't have much of a Fall season.


Hope you're all having a wonderful holiday season.

Stop The Symptoms Of Ringing Ear

Stop The Symptoms Of Ringing Ear
By: John Currie

Ringing Ear Symptoms Discussed

A strange phenomenon regarding tinnitus is that it is often not correctly recognised. The problem is that there are simply that many variables of the ringing ear symptom and also that many causes that medical professionals will often not recognize the %tinitus% symptoms you relate to them.

Many times the ringing ear symptom in the inner ear will cause "unhappy muscles" resulting from a "bad bite". The mechanics of the jaw consist of a network of vessels, muscles and nerves and when the bite is out of alignment, the muscles, nerves and vessels of the ears can be affected. Too much contraction may result in tinnitus. If a uncertain bite
causes the ringing ear symptom, a TMJ specialist can realign your bite so the jaws are synchronized with less muscle tension.

It is my experience that the ringing ear symptom is very common among those with a hearing loss which often will be caused from exposure to loud noise. However everyone with hearing loss may not necessarily experience tinnitus. The fact that you have hearing loss does not mean you will develop tinnitus. That's because there are simply that many variables associated with ear ringing. If you are subjected to a exposure to loud noise the tinnitus is often triggered.

A well known tinnitus fact, there is a 90% chance that your tinnitus is caused by cochlear damage. Ear infections, altered hearing, or even vertigo (dizziness) can be connected to a muscle-spasm problem originating with alignment of the teeth. In addition the ringing ear symptom can be indicative of allergies or sinus problems, or an old head injury, and a variety of other causes including medications such as anti-inflammatory, antibiotic, sedatives,
antidepressants, and aspirin.

Symptoms of tinnitus may be infrequent, continuous, or of a pusatile quality. You may even have single or multiple tones. When there are fewer distractions or at night the ringing ear symptom can be more annoying. Many tinnitus patients are so badly afflicted with ringing ear symptom that they are permanently incapacitated and battle to function normally. The ringing in the ears that they hear are constantly with them and indeed affect every part of their lives.

About The Author... John Currie has been helping ear ringing sufferers from his tinnitus website since 1999.
He offers both email and telephonic support for sufferers to overcome their battle with ringing ears. To learn more how you too can stop ear ringing tinnitus from driving you crazy visit http://www.t-gone.com/ now.

Treat Arthritis Early To Avoid Disability

Javier Fuller


Arthritis is a crippling disease that afflicts a number of people across the world. With it you can be down with unbearable pain and might even find it hard to perform even the simplest of tasks. In a way, it brings a phenomenal disability to you.

The general notion that it hits you only after a certain age is, by and large, wrong. It is not
something that waits till you cross sixty years of age. It emerges as a dreadful disease in elderly if not taken care of properly and early enough. The point that it cannot affect the younger generation is wholly false. It affects people in the bracket of 35 and 45 years of age. In fact, it can emerge in the form of juvenile arthritis as well. And as the name suggests, this type of arthritis affects people at a very young age. It definitely calls for immediate attention.

While curing arthritis, early diagnosis is very important. Earlier, the better! Therefore, as and when you notice the symptoms of arthritis, you should rush to a specialist in order get yourself cured of this painful malady.

As far as treatment is concerned, extensive medical research has ensured that there are many
treatments available. A research recently conducted with as many as 6000 patients across 11 European nations in around 4000 centers showed remarkable results.

The patients, during the study, were injected with Adalimumab (40 mg) once in every 2 weeks for 12 weeks. Quite amazingly, the pain in 77% of cases came down to 3% from 13%. In 70% cases the swelling dwindled down to 3% from 10%. And around 25% of the patients reported
disappearance of pain in just 12 weeks. The results, therefore, have been very encouraging.

The problem, however, is the affordability of the treatment. They are prohibitively expensive. Besides, the medication might also have some serious side effects and, thus, has to be prescribed by a seasoned medical practitioner.

Women & Heart Attacks

(NCR Sez: This was written by some lady & I have no clue who. Being me,I edited it a bit.)
Neil C. Reinhardt

--------------------------------------

WOMEN AND HEART ATTACKS

(Myocardial Infarction)

This to warn woman it's true women rarely have the same dramaticsymptoms men do when experiencing a heart attack. The sudden stabbing pain in the chest, the cold sweat, grabbing thechest and dropping to the floor that we see in the movies. I had acompletely unexpected heart attack at about 10:30 pm with NO prior exertion, NO prior emotional trauma that one would suspect might've brought it on.

I was sitting all snugly & warm on a cold evening, with my purring catin my lap, reading an interesting story my friend had sent me, andactually thinking, "A-A-h, this is the life, all cozy and warm in mysoft, cushy Lazy Boy with my feet propped up."

A moment later, I felt the awful sensation of indigestion, when you've been in a hurry, grabbed a bite of sandwich and washed it down with a dash of water.

Then this hurried bite seems to feel like you've swallowed a golf ballwhich is going down into the esophagus in slow motion and is mostuncomfortable. You realize you shouldn't have gulped it down so fast,you needed to chew it more thoroughly and this time drink a glass ofwater to hasten it's progress down to the stomach.

While this was my initial sensation---thetrouble was I had not taken a bite of a thing since about 5:00 p.m.

After this unpleasent feeling had seemed to subside, the next sensationwas like little squeezing motions which seemed to be racing upmy SPINE (hind-sight, it was probably my aorta spasming), gainingspeed as they continued racing up and under my sternum where one pressesrhythmically when adminstering CPR).

This feeling continued on into my throat and then branched out into bothjaws. AHA!!

NOW I stopped puzzling about what was happening as I had read and/or heard about pain in the jaws being one of the signals of a Myocardial infarction (MI) happening,

I said aloud to myself and the cat, "Dear God, I think I'm having aheart attack !"

I lowered the foot rest, dumping the cat from my lap, started to take astep. I then promply fell on the floor instead. I then thought, "If this is a heart attack, I shouldn't be walking into the next room where the phone is or anywhere else... only, if I don't,nobody will know that Ineed help, an d if I wait any longer I may not be able to get up in moment."


So I pulled myself up with the arms of the chair, walked slowly into the next room and dialed 911.

I told the operator I thought I was having a heart attack due to the pressure building under the sternum and radiating into my jaws. I didn'tfeel hysterical or afraid, just stating the facts.

She said she was sending the Paramedics over immediately, asked if the front door was near to me, and if so, to unbolt the door and then lie down on the floor where they could see me when they came in.

I then laid down on the floor as instructed & lost consciousness. I do not remember the medics coming in, their examination,lifting me onto a guerny or getting me into their ambulance, or hearing the call they made to St. Jude ER on the way.

I did briefly awaken when we arrived, saw that the Cardiologist was already there in his surgical blues and cap, helping the medics pull my stretcher out of the ambulance. He was bending over me and asking questions. (probably something like "Have you taken any medications?")

Only I couldn't make my mind interpret what he was saying, or form ananswer,and I nodded off again, not waking up until the Cardiologist and partner had already threaded the teeny angiogram balloon up my femoral artery into the aorta and into my heart where they installed 2 side by side stentsto hold open my right coronary artery.

I know it sounds like all my thinking and actions at home must havetaken at least 10-15 minutes before calling the Paramedics. Actually it took perhaps 4 - 5 minutes before the call, (NCR Sez: Methinks her ability to judge time is poor. To have the thoughs she had, make it to the phone, place the call, unlock the door and lay on the floor could have all taken place in less than one or two minutes.) Both the fire station and St. Jude are only a few minutes away from myhome.

My Cardiologist was already to go to the OR in his scrubs, get going on restarting my heart (which had stopped somewhere between my arrival and the procedure) and installing the stents. Why have I written all of this to you with so much detail?

Because Iwant all of you who are so important in my life to know what I learned first hand.

1. Be aware something very different is happening in your body andthey are not the usual men's symptoms, rather they are inexplicablethings happening (until my sternum and jaws got into the act ).

Many more women than men die of theirfirst (and last) Myocardial infarction (MI) because they didn't knowthey were having one, and commonly mistake it as indigestion, takesome Maalox or other anti-heartburn" preparation, and go to bed, hopingthey'll feel better in the morning when they wake up....which doesn'thappen.

My female friends, your symptoms mightnot be exactly like mine, so I advise you to call the Paramedics ifANYTHING is unpleasantly happening you have not felt before. It isbetter to have a "false alarm" visitation than to risk your lifeguessing what it might be!


2. Note I said "Call 911". Ladies, TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE! Do NOT try to drive yourself to the ER! You're a hazard to yourself andothers on the road! So is your panicked driver who will be speedingand looking anxiously atwhat's happening with you instead of the road.Do NOT call your doctor--he doesn't know where you live and if it's atnight you won't reach him anyway, and if it's daytime, his assistants(or answering service) will tell you to call 911.

And your doctor does not carry the equipment in his car you need to be saved! The Paramedics do, principally OXYGEN which you need ASAP. Your Dr. will be notified later.

3. Do NOT assume it couldn't be a heart attack because you have a normal cholesterol count. Research proves a cholesterol elevated reading israrely the cause of an Myocardial Infarction. (MI) (That is, unless it's extreamly high, and/or accompanied by high blood pressure.) Myocardial Infarction's are usually caused by long-term stress and inflammation in the body, which dumps all sorts of deadly hormones into your system to sludge things up in there. Pain in the jaw can wake you from a sound sleep. Let's be careful and be aware. The more we know, the better chance we could survive...

A cardiologist said: If everyone who gets this e-mail sends it to 10people, you can be sure we'll save at least one life.
