Use 5 minutes everyday to help you de-stress August 27, 2007
Posted by Wen in : Stress , 1 comment so farWe 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 stress 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. (more…)
Take a Simple Retreat to De-stress Yourself January 19, 2007
Posted by Wen in : Exercising, Stress , 1 comment so farThe stress of modern life can be very overwhelming. When you have too much on your mind, your body will tend to release excess stress hormones like adrenaline, non-adrenaline, and an adrenal-cortex hormone which can be harmful to your body. Also, your body will experiences other changes. Your heart rate start to increase, your blood pressure goes up, your respiration levels change, you begin to sweat, and you become unable to process your food because digestion shuts down.
While any type of physical action can slow or even stop the effects of stress, sitting at your desk or in the car can simply causes all of the stress reactions in your body to continue. At some point, your body will become so full of the stress reactions that you cannot handle the simplest of daily tasks. This is the time to retreat from the everyday stress of life.
A good retreat doesn’t have to mean vacation. It can simply mean finding a room in your house you enjoy and spending some quality time there. For many people, this room is their bathroom. While bathrooms used to be purely useful in nature, today’s designs and accessories have changed the bathroom’s image. (more…)
Understanding stress management to a highly effective working life October 11, 2006
Posted by Wen in : Stress , add a commentThe most important aspect of understanding stress management is the fact that the classes or guidance you receive will teach you to like yourself and enjoy your work life. It allows you to let go of old goals that may have or may not have been met in your work and to always stay positive despite any problems you face in your work. It’s natural that we will fail and we will succeed. Stress management will allow you to let go of the negative feelings and reinforce positive feelings. Let us look at other reason to why it is so important to practise stress management to a highly effective working life.
Today, society has a lot of stress when it comes to working. Today, a lot of pressure has been put on many due to long working hour. To deal with the stress that comes from all this pressure, you should begin an exercise routine so that you will feel better about yourself. It was been proven that physical activities would improve a person’s mental health, help with depression, and relieve the side effects of stress. In addition, with even light exercise, a person’s depression and stress will become less intense. Exercise allow us to feel more energitic and make us more alert, hence allow us to work effectively during working hour.
The first step to stress management is to identify stress factors, and the second step is to recognize the steps to help change the situation. Sometimes we are able to eliminate the problem, but most of the time, we must find ways to grin and bear it. However, you can reduce the time you spend on or with the causes. You can also find ways to reduce your stress by stretching the task out over time or delegating. The next time time you are under stress with lots of workload, remember not to panic or complain. Just tell yourself you definitely can do it, and just boldly go ahead to challenge it. You will be amazed how a change of mindset can change the situation around.
Stress is a killer! Stress will raise a person’s blood pressure and it will put a strain on the heart. Stress is one cause to many heart health issues. That’s the most important reason why you should learn how to manage your stress levels. You may take a stress management class at the local college or take a self-help class that addresses stress management. If you really have no time, then spend just 5 minutes a day to read some motivational book to spur you forward for the rest of the day.
Stress management is very simple. In addition to exercise, you should also try to avoid stimulants like nicotine or caffeine. This makes a person’s heart rate increase and will be more likely to be affected by stress. I know coffee is a must when it comes to long working hour. But just try not to take more than 2 cups of coffee a day. Try taking lemon juice or green tea, these are also helpful in keeping you awake, and they are better than coffee in many ways.
Lastly, stress management teaches others about self-love and how you can expect some set backs in life. You will find that stress management will teach you a new way of thinking. You will find that you will be able to be in control and stay in control of your own destiny with the help of stress management. Do not complain about your boss or your swear at your colleagues, this would not help to relief stress and might even cause things to get worse. Have more dialogues and understanding, and you will find that your work environment will gradually change for the better.

Tips to overcome insomnia to prevent acne, hair loss, ulcer and headache problems October 4, 2006
Posted by Wen in : Acne, Hair loss, Headache, Insomnia, Stress, Ulcer , 1 comment so farAre you suffering from acne problems, hair loss, ulcer attack or frequent headache? Or do you feel that you are constantly in stress? The most like causes of all these maybe perhaps be insomnia, or lack of sleep and rest. Today let us discuss how we can deal with insomnia.
If you have a rocky workplace, this can also be a good excuse for insomnia. You are going to be stressed and uneasy about a lot of things when you are worried about what is going on at work. You need to find out a way to work through these problems to make them better. Get help from your supervisor or manager to take this problem on. Once you get it sorted out, you will probably find that you can rest better at night and start sleeping through the night like you once did.
Do not overeat as heavy meals will drain out your energy. Instead of eating a large meal, you need to eat three smaller meals throughout the day. You need to have your blood sugar and your insulin levels more even. You will also find it easier to sleep at night if you eat this way. You need to keep watch of what you eat so that you can dream away at night. Eating rich foods will help you out a lot when it comes to dieting. Remember that overeating can not only cause insomnia, it can also cause unwanted weight gain too.
Next, are you finding hard to concentrate while you sleep? Do you know that there are as many as 100,000 car accidents and fifteen hundred deaths that are from accidents caused by people that are driving while drowsy. This is a serious problem and one that more and more people need to address. There are lots of people that are sacrificing their sleep to do other things in life. It is not going to help anyone if a person skips the sleep that they need in order to do something else.
Insomnia is a leading cause in the United States for decreased productivity. Each year insomnia will cost the United States over one billion dollars for the research and the lost work that is not getting done. This is a serious condition and one that has to be taken more seriously. There are more and more people under stress and hectic lives. They are not allowing themselves enough time for rest and relaxation and this is leading to more severe problems for them such as headache, acne problems, and even hair loss.
You should also eat a great breakfast. You need to eat foods that boost your metabolism and give the body energy to burn off. The brain will depend on the glucose for fuel and so carbohydrates for breakfast is a great idea. You should try to not skip any meals. It is important to eat healthy and to eat when you are hungry. Cereals and wholegrain bread is the best way to get a good start on your day and keep you awake.Â
Lastly, about a third of the average persons life is spent sleeping. This means that sleep is very important to our health and us. Healthy sleep is more important. It is vital to a human’s body and it is going to be essential for the brain to function the way that it is intended. Other organs in the body also depend on the amount of sleep that a person gets to function properly.Â
Alright! You’ve now completed the easy part. From here, you have to start to plan a regular and healthier plan for your daily life. By changing your lifestyle for a better, healthier one, you will ultimately enjoy a healthier, happy life.

5 tips on stress relief to reduce the annoying headache October 1, 2006
Posted by Wen in : Headache, Stress , add a commentDo you know that stress is one of the main reason why we have recurring headache problems? Let’s begin today’s issue with 5 tips on stress relief.
Firstly, work is not the only place where you will find your life stressed, headache can occur due to your personal problems. Hence, when it comes to our domestic lives, we use certain therapies to help us with stress management. If you are feeling stressed at home, you may write your emotions out on paper or you may cook or clean. By finding certain activities to release stress, a person will be able to focus better on what’s important to them in life. This will direct your attention away, thereby giving your brain less prone to headache due to the accumulated stress.
Secondly, stress can make the body feel run downed or tired. Depression has been associated with tension headache due to the mental stress build up. Because of all the serious side effects like depression that is associated with stress, a good stress management program is needed. Once you are able to calm yourself down and learn better ways to deal with your stress, you feel like hundreds of pounds of weight has been lifted from your shoulders.
For those who find that they don’t have emotional reactions to stress, but physical reactions, stress management are needed the most. Hence when it comes to stress management, you need to learn techniques that will slow down your heart rate and allow you to relax. When stress approaches, headache might appear. So try deep breathing techniques or massaging your head to give some relief.
Sleep is very important when it comes to stress management. You must allow yourself to get the appropriate amount of time to sleep and rest. Timing is everything and if you get too much or too little sleep you will be affected, resulting in migraine headache. With the appropriate amount of sleep you will feel rejuvenated and ready for the day to start. You also need to be consistent with the times that you go to bed and the times that you awaken.
Stress management is as simple as taking a walk. It was been proven that physical activities would improve a person’s mental health, help with depression, and relieve the side effects of stress such as headache. You should try to exercise at least three or four times a week. In addition, you should try to avoid stimulants like nicotine or caffeine. This makes a person’s heart rate increase, creating cluster headache and will be more likely to be affected by stress.
We end here, but there are of course more causes to the annoying headache. To find out more about different headache causes, check this out.
