Stress Management – How To Stay Stressed (a step-by-step guide)

In this industry I am all about helping people to let go of stress, and find peace withing themselves regardless of what is going on around them. However, I understand that some people don’t want to let go of their stress, it’s their’s and nobody is going to take it from them. It’s basically the equivilent of holding your favorite rock all the way down to the bottom of the ocean.

Since I cannot “make” anybody do anything that they don’t want to do, or change behaviors they don’t want to change, I thought I’d share this little bit of information that I found online on How To Stay Stressed. Just because living a stress-free life is for me, doesn’t mean it’s for everyone, and here are a few reasons why…

Stress helps you seem important:

Anyone as stressed as you must be working very hard and, therefore, is  probably doing something very crucial.

It helps you to maintain personal distance and avoid intimacy.

Anyone as busy as you are certainly can’t be expected to form emotional attachments to anyone.  And let’s face it, you’re not much fun to be around anyway.

It helps you avoid responsibilities.

Obviously you’re too stressed to be given any more work.  This gets you off the hook for all the mundane chores; let someone else take care of them.

Learning The Art of Meditation

We exercise our bodies through walking, running, swimming, going to the gym, Pilates, etc. We all know the benefits of physical exercise, we see the results in how we look and how our clothes fit. We feel the results in increased energy and strength. But true health is not merely a physical condition. Health is complete well being and balance, physically, mentally, and emotionally.

So, how do we exercise, strengthen and increase our mental and emotional energy?

The answer has been around and practiced by many cultures for over 5000 years. It encompasses a wide range of spiritual, mental and emotional practices and can lead one to the achievement of a higher state of consciousness, increased focus, creativity or self-awareness, or simply a more peaceful, calm and relaxed state of mind. The answer is meditation.

Discount On Services For Law Enforcement

They are supposed to stand tall and stoic against the hazards and risks often involved in their work. Yet police officers are faced with pressures, strain, and tension that most of us will never have to confront.

In order to be competent in their jobs, many officers form a tough mental defense, concealing their feelings, and suppressing their emotions. Every day emotions that are typical of human nature, such as fear, anger, and even empathy are held back all in a desire to protect and serve the rest of humanity.

They say it takes 21 days to create a habit. But what happens when the unconscious habits necessary to perform well on the job becomes so automatic that it spreads to one’s personal life? Hiding, dismissing, and avoiding these issues, over time, means that many go unresolved. This sometimes leads to trouble with relationships, and emotional or mental overload. It’s no wonder that police offers have a higher divorce rate than the rest of society, and that fewer cops are killed in the line of duty than by their own hands. The suicide rates for those in law enforcement are staggering. It’s sad that so many, often times, will turn to alcohol and other destructive behaviors just to cope with the burdens and demands associated with the work they do.

“Self-Hypnosis, Group Sessions and CD’s”

There are many schools of thought out there on the subject of hypnosis. While I certainly respect the viewpoints of others, recently I have been flooded with inquiries as to my views on self-hypnosis and group sessions. Because I believe this to be an important topic of discussion, I felt it necessary to share it here. By no means do I feel that my opinions must be shared by all.

Is fear keeping you from fully enjoying your life?

Fear is a fantastically powerful human emotion. As one of the basic survival instincts we were programmed with from birth, fear triggers the nervous system, priming us to react by taking physical action. In this reaction, commonly referred to as “fight or flight,” the body is flooded with hormones, including adrenaline, that aid in defending itself from harm.

Weight Loss with Hypnosis

Many who have not been successful with losing weight or getting in shape in the past have turned to hypnosis as a safe and reliable alternative to crash diets, medications, and even surgery. In fact, after making changes and achieving the body they’ve been dreaming of, most wonder why they didn’t chose hypnosis first!

Whether you want to lose weight, or simply get in better shape, hypnosis can help.

Stress Management For Corporations

Poll results released in October 2007 by the American Psychological Association found that 1/3 of Americans are living with extreme stress.

Excessive stress can be extremely expensive for employers. Highly stressed employees are absent or tardy more often, and are much more likely to leave their jobs. When at work, they tend to be significantly less productive with a considerable lack of job concentration – a phenomenon known as presenteeism, which can lead to even greater losses to the company than frequent absences.

The bottom line is this, in the second quarter of 2007, average hourly earnings for U.S. workers in the private sector were $17.30 an hour, according to the U.S. Labor Department. That equals $692 a week, or $35,984 annually.

Anger Management

More than just Anger Management…
Let go of anger completely!

Having an opinion and knowing what you want is a crucial indicator of healthy self-esteem. So why do some people anger easily when faced with a difference of opinion? Why is it that some feel annoyed, criticized, anxious, hurt, or even angry when their opinion is challenged? We sometimes wonder how a simple discussion turned into a heated argument or physical violence. When it’s all over, we may wish that we had behaved differently, but don’t know how to stop it in the heat of the moment.
