How often have you heard someone say, "I have a lot of stress in my life," or, "He's under a lot of stress right now"? This can be a little confusing, since these statements suggest that the stress is coming from outside--when in fact, most of our stress is created internally! Here is a definition of stress from Wikipedia: Stress is a biological term which refers to the consequences of the failure of a human or animal body to respond appropriately to emotional or physical threats to the organism, whether actual or imagined. It is "the autonomic response to environmental stimulus." As you see, stress is actually a biological response to something going on outside, like threat, pressure, sudden changes, etc. The great thing about this is that you are ultimately in charge of your stress, while it's pretty hard sometimes to change what's going on outside. Just to complete the picture, and show how the whole idea of stress can be confusing, in the physical, non-human world the term stress doesapply to something happening from outside--such as "the extreme weight of the tractor was creating stress on the old wooden bridge." The main point here is to know that you are in charge of the stress going on in your mind, heart and body. Keep reading, and you'll learn some excellent ways to manage your stress so that you can be happier and healthier. Got Money Stress? By the way, the biggest cause of stress in many of our lives is...you guessed it! MONEY! So, take a look at the new SiteBuildIt! opportunity. It is an eLearning course that you can take any time, from the comfort of your home. Learn about it now and see if it might be the key to the financial freedom and stress-free life you've dreamed of! What Are The Best Stress Management Techniques? Okay, here they are: Relaxation--this is at the top of the list for a reason. Learning the techniques of physical relaxation can do so many good things for you that it would be hard to cover them all in forty newsletters! Breathing--this could even come before relaxation. It's really a toss-up which is more important, so why not do both! The key is to breathe into your diaphragm, a technique you can learn here. Now for the thinking part--optimism is the key here. Research has shown consistently that people who are optimistic have lower stress. So, how do you get optimistic when you have so much stress? Well, the main thing is to focus on what's good, right and working in your life. Learn the skills of becoming a Goodfinder and you will feel your stress start going down right away. Another great tool is to keep a gratitude journal to re-train your brain. Go to the Stress Management Techniques page and learn more! How Does Stress Management Help Anger Management? I'm sure you can answer that at least partially for yourself. Think about it...if you're relaxed, breathing deeply and slowly into your diaphragm and focusing on the good things in your life and the world around you, is it possible that you might be a little less angry? I think so. Anger is one of the primary reactions to stress! So, it follows that managing stress will help with anger management. You will find a lot of stress management techniques in these Anger Management Techniques, for example. Anger often comes from a sense of hopelessness, when the stress level is so high and there are no solutions in sight is when a lot of folks are likely to "go off." I think you get the picture. So, whether you choose anger management techniques or stress management techniques, you can't go wrong!

We usually use it for morning relaxation and meditation, middle of the day de-stressing, and before going to sleep at night. The results have been profound for both of us!
