Stress Management – Permanent Solutions For Stress Reduction

Stress Management – How stress works, where it comes from, and practical solutions for permanent reduction.The Ultimate Life Purpose Course – Create Your Dream Career: http://www.actualized.org/life-purpose-courseLeo’s Top 140 Self Help Books http://www.actualized.org/booksFull Video Transcript Here: http://www.actualized.org/articles/stress-managementVideo Summary: Stress is one of the most common problems of modern life. Stress is an emotional and chemical response to stimuli around us, but the problem lies inside our heads. Stress is most often associated with lack of time or money, or by relationships at work, home, or with family. Achieving better emotional control helps some folks handle stress much better than others, but some situations are inherently more stressful than others.Ideally, the long-term solution to stress is to overhaul your attitude via personal development work. But while you’re working on that, there are some strategies to help you cope in the short-term.If your stress originates from too little money, the logical answer is to get a better-paying job. Too little time: slow down, prioritize, be realistic, and focus. Multi-tasking is a crazy-making oxymoron. If your stress originates in your relationships, stop blaming other people; stop trying to control other people; and focus on your own life and its direction.The best solution over-all for dealing with stress in the short-term is to know your values and your life’s purpose and to stay grounded in yourself.Disclaimer: All personal development advice and information is provided as-is and may not suit your specific circumstances.

How to channel your stress to help you succeed | Heidi Hanna | TEDxSDSU

Dr. Heidi Hanna loves stress. Yup, you read that right. In fact, she thinks we are all capable of loving it too. She reveals how to turn stress from an enemy to a friend through the lens of curiosity. What if stressing really is a blessing? Heidi Hanna, PhD is an integrative neuroscience researcher and the Executive Director of the American Institute of Stress. She is a New York Times best selling author, and recovering stressaholic. Heidi’s passion is helping people transform their relationship with stress by understanding and adapting personal and organizational energy management practices. She believes that the answer to our current stress epidemic is training a new, whole-brain stress response based in a curiosity mindset that facilitates positive change and collaboration. Only when we stop trying to minimize or manage stress will we learn how to master it, and use stress as fuel for good. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx

How To Relieve Stress – Scientifically Proven Stress Relief Techniques

How To Relieve Stress – The absolute best ways to reduce your stress permanently and how to avoid gimmicks that don’t work.The Ultimate Life Purpose Course – Create Your Dream Career: http://www.actualized.org/life-purpose-courseLeo’s Top 140 Self Help Books http://www.actualized.org/booksFull Video Transcript Here: http://www.actualized.org/articles/how-to-relieve-stressVideo Summary: Up to a point, stress is an unavoidable part of living. It has become more problematic as our modern world becomes more complex and frantic. To fail to acknowledge your role in creating the stress in your life will simply amplify it. Review what choices you’ve made, and whether you want to retract any of them for the sake of reducing your stress exposure. Stress tends to be reduced once we simply accept our choice to live with the stress-inducing situation, rather than pursue some alternative action.Positive, constructive ways to deal with stress include most notably meditation, sports, music, reading, and creative hobbies. Self-destructive, unhealthy methods for dealing with stress are easy to identify. Even innocuous-looking methods of stress relief can become a crutch that steals your quality of life and creates guilt and recrimination. Less obviously destructive diversions such as video games, the internet, and TV create a low consciousness that disengages you from your mission in life.Proactively exam what is causing the greatest stress in your life. If you choose to “just live with it,” identify positive ways to mitigate that stress. Evaluate what negative stress reducing technique to eliminate to improve the quality of your life.
