STRESS MANAGEMENT
Let's just say it... Stress sucks!! It causes us to lose sleep, decreases our quality of life, hurts our relationships, and in high enough doses, can even kill us. So what do we do about it? On the bright, stress is quite treatable. We may not be able to change our stressors, but we can a least do something about how we handle it.
The Mayo Clinic website tells us to find de-stressing activities such as tai chi and yoga. Walking and exercise is also a fantastic method to decrease overall stress. Recent studies have shown that moderate exercise has been known to be as effective as psychotropic medications for the treatment of moderate depression. What ever the stress, there seems to be an underlying theme, and that is to get moving.
Still looking for more resources? Hypnosis!
The whole idea of hypnosis is to allow the subconscious mind to take over and give the waking conscious mind a break. Since all hypnosis is self hypnosis, there is no fear of being in danger of losing control. What is really powerful about the subconscious mind is that it is when it accepts a suggestion the results are usually instantaneous. I have personally seen people who have been so stressed that they have not slept in days. After hypnosis, they are relaxed enough, and have the best sleep they have ever had.
Still not convinced? Google it!
Finally, another method to reduce stress quickly is something called binaural beats. When the listener has head phones on, one tone is played in one ear, while another is played in the other. This results in a false tone that allows the brain the de-stress. Strange, but
