I loved growing up on a farm, mainly because of the animals. They are completely honest. When they feel mad, they demonstrate it. If they are forelorn, that let that show too by screaming out.
Human beings seldom make this show of emotion so apparent. We either deny how we actually feel, or we pretend due to the setting we're in at any given point in time.
Unless humans have induced the stress, you don't tend to see animals with the same stress related problems suffer.
That leads me to wonder just how much we contribute to our own health problems.
Job stress and health problems from it is a popular topic in the emails I receive. I get comments such as "My blood pressure was never this high until I started this job." OR "I'm exhaused all the time, especially when I get home from my desk job."
Who would have guessed that the source of some health problems resides right inside your work cubicle?
Corporate training has crafted curriculums around the very issue of job stress. There are expensive books and even huge conferences covering this topic.
A few other ways to deal with the issue also exist.
We could just abandon our jobs.
That could be a nice immediate solution, but the financial burdon would create an entirely new problem for most people.
Some common stress relief techniques are readily available and nothing new. We just don't tend to incorporate them when we really need to.
We can start by determining reasonable limits on our work and social burdens. Tact is always recommended, but the end result should be not piling on more than a person can handle without raising the blood pressure.
This is addressed specifically to the population of people who are so driven or eager to please, that they will not allow themselves to reject unreasonable requests.
What are the consequences if I don't grant this particular favor?
Also, remember that it can be okay to ask for help yourself. If you manager, co-workers, friends and family are asking for help - maybe there's something to this.
Stop. Walk away from your work environment for just a bit. Walk slowing and without trying to problem solve along the way. Don't set up a destination - just walk and try to clear your mind for a few minutes every hour if possible.
Eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables whenever possible. This will help with your energy level.
Sit up instead of slouching. The back suffers greatly in a fairly short amount of time from poor posture.
Breathe deeply. The additional oxygen will make a big difference. This doesn't require leaving or creating a special environment.
Stretch and rest your fingers. Inhale deeply, and stretch your hands out as you exhale and imagine all stress leaving your body through the tips of your fingers.
That will help especially if you do it regularly.
When you leave work, REALLY leave work. Change your mental thought process from "work mode" to "relax mode." The ride home will be much more enjoyable as will your evening.
Also, try my all natural programs for even further instruction on relaxation and great body exercises.
Try The Dizziness and Vertigo Program, Headache and Migraine Program, Weight Loss Breeze Program, Fibromyalgia Program or The High Blood Pressure Program.
