Stress Management Solutions
Decades of research confirms that chronic stress is harmful. It accelerates ageing, shrinks the hippocampus, depletes life force energy, and increases the risk of suffering mental and physical disorders. According to the WHO, stress-induced conditions are the leading cause of premature mortality in western countries.
Yet, symptoms of chronic stress, caused when the brain registers a threat or harm in response to environmental stimuli, occur at epidemic levels. Why? Well there are numerous reasons for this. Often, people mistakenly believe that stress is good for you, or that burnout is indicative of achievement. Others may not know that chronic stress is bad for you, nor the knowledge of strategies for effectively dealing with symptoms and environmental stressors.
The empirical data is clear, chronic stress symptoms that arise in response to everyday general stressors, are linked to cardiovascular diseases, cancer, immune system disorders, and a variety of psychiatric conditions.
The Key to Managing Stress
The good news is that chronic stress is treatable and entirely preventable. Research has found that key components of effective stress reduction techniques include 1. Transforming perceived threats into perceived challenges via knowledge and understanding. 2. Shifting attention to stimuli already perceived as beneficial and 3. Adopting healthy coping mechanisms. I would add that it is also necessary to take proactive steps to address environmental stressors, which of course will necessarily be facilitated by a shift in perception.
This is the precise focus of my new book, Straightforward solutions to Manage Stress, where I offer a holistic approach to stress management that incorporates the aforementioned empirically supported techniques, and more. For instance, you will learn:
- The science of how stress works and how to reframe your mindset.
- Practical strategies to address environmental stressors, like financial or workplace pressures.
- How to use gratitude and other techniques to shift your focus to the positive.
- A variety of other lifestyle medicines that replace harmful habits with healthy coping mechanisms.
The book offers comprehensive solutions to treat or prevent chronic stress. Even if you are a busy professional working a full time job, simply applying the psychological acupuncture intervention for 20-30 mins per day can significantly reduce general stress symptoms.
The Benefits of Stress Management
Applying lifestyle medicines consistently is a proven way not only to address chronic stress, it will also help you to take back control of your health, boost life force energy, and promote longevity.
Remember, chronic stress only persists when we have no strategy for dealing with the underlying perceived threat. However, in Straightforward Solutions to Manage Stress, you can discover some of the most effective strategies to treat or keep stress at bay.
If you want to stop worrying, feel more relaxed, and take control of your life then this book is for you.
Wishing you happiness and success.
