How to Deal with Stress | 7 Stress Management Tips

Let’s all stress less. Here are my tips on how to deal with stress, anxiety, and overwhelm. Thanks BetterHelp for sponsoring this video! Try BetterHelp → https://betterhelp.com/AileenNote on BetterHelp: I’ve been trying out BetterHelp and I feel it’s a good medium between talking to a friend vs. seeing an in-person therapist. It’s more affordable and accessible than an in-person therapist because you get to do video chats, phone calls and online chats, and you get the benefit of talking to someone who has an outsider’s perspective. I do want to make clear that it’s not the same as seeing an in-person therapist.

If You’re Stressed Often, Here’s What You Need To Know About This Common Condition

Everyone gets stressed out now and then, but chronic stress causes much more wear and tear on the body than most people realize.

Chronic stress is a hard thing to describe to family, friends, and sometimes even doctors. They can’t see it like they would a broken arm or a flesh wound, which may cause some to doubt its very existence.

However, anxiety is a very real disorder that effects 18 percent of the American population. When it rears its ugly head, so do many other physical side effects. Here are 10 of the most common.

1. Heart disease

You know that saying, “You’re going to give me a heart attack?” Well, anxiety and panic attacks might actually do that. High blood pressure and weakened heart muscles are both side effects of stress that raise your chances of having a heart attack and/or developing cardiovascular disease.

2. Loss of libido

With all these negative things happening in your body, it’s not a big surprise that your libido can suffer. Part of this is because your hormones aren’t functioning properly, and another is that your mind and body are distracted. It’s important to communicate with your partner and remember that you don’t “owe” anyone sex.

3. Brain damage

Years of extreme stress and anxiety can lead to brain damage, particularly early-onset Alzheimer’s. It’s been found that the cortisol that’s released during stressful periods actually kills the hippocampus, leading to loss of memory and premature brain aging.

If The New Mom In Your Life Is Showing These Signs, She Could Need Your Help

When 32-year-old Florence Leung found out that she was expecting a baby boy, she was over the moon with joy. Sadly, shortly after giving birth, she began suffering from postpartum depression (PPD).

According to Postpartum Progress, one in seven new and pregnant moms suffer from postpartum depression, yet it’s something that’s rarely discussed in mainstream culture. As a result, many women feel that they have to hide the disorder without seeking the help they so desperately need. In some cases, this fear of exposure can be fatal.

Just two months after her son was born, Leung disappeared. A few weeks later, she was found dead near her home in an apparent suicide. Friends and family were devastated. Had they missed warning signs of PPD?

Katherine Stone, CEO and founder of Postpartum Progress, recently sat down with Today to share four signs of PPD that everyone should watch for in new and expecting moms. As someone who has suffered from the disorder firsthand, she knows exactly what she’s talking about.

A little irritability is to be expected when you’re uncomfortably pregnant or caring for a fussy baby, but if a new mom is suffering from uncontrollable rage, it could be a warning sign of PPD. Red flags include things like flying off the handle, screaming and cursing, and getting upset for illogical reasons.

If these are especially out of character for your loved one, encourage them to seek professional help immediately. Remember, it’s not them that’s to blame, but hormones that are coursing through their body.

Maladaptive Daydreaming & Extreme Fantasizing | recommendations Control It

Hi everyone else! This video clip is probably be about maladaptive daydreaming and fantasizing, precisely what its and how to handle it. What is maladaptive daydreaming? Well, theoretically it is actually fantasizing, dissociation and now we additionally’ve all skilled this. Thinking about something in your ideas and dissociating from just what is being conducted all around us. We are able to be lost in idea for some moments, moments, or to a severity, hours or maybe more. This, averagely, is completely regular and absolutely nothing to worry about.

But, like most such thing, it may become difficult and stay mistreated and be an addiction. Consequently, when does it turned out to be a problem? Really, maladaptive daydreaming occurs when it becomes an addiction and you are clearly clearly spending longer in your mind, and neglecting your outer globe, eg friends and family, family, college, those forms of things. Often times it’s a coping method, dissociation, perhaps for anxiety, tension, despair. And, nothing is incorrect with that on it’s own. As a matter of fact its an excellent power to have and I in addition did a video committed to finding your internal leisure area if you are interested in checking that-away. It is an area you produce in your head that will allow you to launch any stress and anxiety you’ve got and just unwind. Which wonderful, it is a type of meditation, and meditation the most helpful things to do for your mind, body, and spirit.

It might be an incredibly spiritual practice and enable you to connect and comprehend yourself on a much deeper degree. In addition to change you into way more innovative and imaginative. Building these wonderful capabilities. It could end up like a lucid dream. Therefore, those will be the positives for this, or in other words, when you’ve got control about it that is staying away from over yourself.

It becomes maladaptive daydreaming or serious fantasizing when, as I mentioned previously, it makes you invest so much period of time in here and not-out right here, neglecting things which are vital that you you in your external globe. Coping process or a solution to release panic and anxiety is very good, but addiction and neglect of your exterior globe is bad. So, I believed I would personally share some personal information about at this point you of that time period that i’ve been lost in thought when it comes to is difficult and unpleasant for me personally. Times when it ended up being uncontrollable.

So, as soon as I’m maybe not absolutely doing anything or once I get sidetracked from doing a thing, i will be able to be soaked up whenever you consider the tips of my mind. Mainly it is negative thoughts, thinking and worrying all about blunders i’ve made, upcoming worries that will cause me anxiety and stress, awful ideas. I really could turned out to be for that reason immersed in what i will be thinking so it exhibits into my genuine body. Associated with, frequently i shall talk aloud the things I became thinking and therefore catches me off-guard.

Other times i’ll imagine some real sensation, like let us show someone hitting me, or any other discipline, and I also can actually feel it straight back at my body. In other instances i will imagine something mental and I reenact that within my brain and I also also can make myself go into a tremendously various sensation than I became in prior to thinking about it. And, which very interesting indeed. And, there’s nothing wrong with actually experiencing what you could be thinking given that it goes to show precisely how efficient the thoughts are.

You consider something and you’ll actually feel what you imagined, in all kinds of practices. So, you should utilize by using good motives to enhance the conventional of the everyday life. It truly is very useful actually. The thing I suggest is, considering any such thing good that produces you’re feeling great about yourself, tends to make you actually feel those thoughts and real emotions. But, there are several alternative methods of managing this type of behavior that I will discuss today. What exactly are some way of working with maladaptive daydreaming and severe fantasizing? Well, the very first most critical thing is learn how to get a grip on it. But, precisely how you may not repeat this? Actually, 1st thing is learn to recognize the behavior and want to change it. You simply can’t change it away if you’re going to be reluctant or cannot recognize it. You need to just take that effort first. Once you have done that, discover exactly what is causing that do that? Could it be being set off by something? If so, what-is-it and just why? If a very important factor is causing it, often there is a reason.

If you are not being triggered, why else have you been carrying it out? Might it be an escape from life, a coping method, possibly an addiction? Perchance you feel well informed in the inner globe helping to make you want to be here more in place of your outer globe. Or, possibly its uncontrollable accessible and yourself don’t understand you might be carrying out it. If it could be the scenario, it truly is regularly because of it either becoming triggered or a coping equipment or addiction.

If you have no idea how-to control the dissociation, a rehearse we give should be to intentionally dissociate yourself with a positive bring about order to master when the boundary is and just how to manage it. Generally speaking meditation and self-hypnosis often leads you to mastering that skill that we recommend. Dedicate a place and time day-to-day, including a timeframe, allowing yourself to become totally immersed into this fantasy to release those negative thoughts and obtain things you need from it.

From then on let yourself return. In addition, whenever you produced a world to unwind, which is great. But, regarding becomes an addiction it is time to re-evaluate the reason why you produced this globe. It had beenn’t to call residence in. Consequently, you need to get straight back on the right track as to why this globe is out there in 1st location. Make targets for yourself. Whether or not it’s a bad area or negative thoughts are building causing you to physically react to those, like We described with my example whenever i believe of upheaval and I can feel it, actually and emotionally, carefully shift your awareness of one thing good that may lead you to feel a lot better really and psychologically.

Think about your achievements, your targets, what you would like your perfect life to-be like. Shift from the bad globe into a confident globe. Again, usually do not make it an addiction to the level in which it is all of that’s necessary doing is maintain that world. Including, if you’ve got more self-confidence within internal world and that’s why you may invest much time here, transfer that to your external world. Imagine, visualize your confident self from your inner globe although the person who you may be everyday inside exterior world.

Perhaps imagine in your head two yous. The secure the one which is out there within your head, along with several other one that won’t have self-confidence this is actually who you really are in day-to-day life. From then on maybe imagine them merging into one. To make sure you are confident perhaps not just within internal globe, but also whenever you glance at the exterior world. Officially this could be hypnosis.

You might be hypnotizing yourself to be a tad bit more confident. That may work tremendously if you keep at it. And in addition much better, along with your imagination and dissociation abilities, it willn’t even be tough to help you try. Just visualize and imagine like you regularly do. Utilize those abilities since this is obviously what is going to assist you. It is a great capability to possess because you can put on it to your benefit, in a controlled environment to hypnotize your self, and provide oneself recommendations to better your behavior. Since dissociation takes place with hypnotherapy, this can really help you as you are often very hypnotizable. Precisely what should-be mentioned is the fact that people with skilled trauma tend to be a whole lot more hypnotizable than those havingn’t which could make all of them way more suggestible. So, make use of that capability to your advantage. It is a trade off in a way getting really hypnotizable. You could be at risk of these types of conditions where maybe it’s uncontrollable and you are clearly dissociating, but when you can figure out how to handle that ability you have got, you should employ it with exceptionally positive effects.

So, that is the strategy that you should notice it. There is completely nothing unfavorable, just a trade from something you need to learn just how to utilize ability precisely. Not just that, if you may be having a concern coming to the exterior globe from this dream, develop a portal to get back. I have a portal in my inner relaxing place that enables us to get back to myself from a fantasy. We talked about this within my finding your internal soothing place video that i might have one of the links in the description. But, imagine a portal that should you walk through it, you are likely to get right up from this fantasy, but will hold the good attributes you’d in your daydream. After adequate attempts of having up out of bed after going right on through this portal, it can become conditioned and you also can manifest it whenever you know that you are inside problem and return to on your own.

Once more, it truly is about learning that boundary and utilizing control of it. So fundamentally, fantasizing and daydreaming, possibly even on point of having a lucid dream, are not irregular in any way which is anything we-all experience with different amounts. It might be beneficial. It’s a wonderful coping equipment, in moderation.

But, for people who tend to be addicted or cannot get a grip on it, maladaptive daydreaming, this is the right time for you to re-evaluate the reason why this world is present within mind, and discover that boundary between inner vs external world. Enabling you to ultimately become confident individual in your daydream so that you don’t have to escape to your internal globe to be that confident person. Bring all of them straight down as it is both you and you are see your face if you decide to try. Consequently, kindly share your experiences and I also additionally hope this movie ended up being informative and helpful.

Thanks for witnessing!.
