			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the biggest triggers for an episode of stress, depression or anxiety is a change to our lives, particularly unwanted change such as a death of a loved one, a job loss or a relationship breakdown. These are unpleasant experiences and for many, a prolonged period of mental trauma followed.</p>
<p>During the past week, two friends of mine have experienced differing major changes to their lives yet both reacted in exactly the same way. There is a very important skill to be learned from both experiences when it comes to change, and I’ll share it with you. Before I do, let’s look at how two totally different changes can trigger the same reaction but with drastically different emotional results.</p>
<p>Jimmy was my best buddy during childhood and our families were good friends. I haven’t seen him for a while and out of the blue, I bumped into him whilst on a night out. Sadly, his news wasn’t good as his father had passed away after battling cancer that very morning. Obviously, he’d known for a while that his father’s days were numbered but despite this, he was still in a state of shock and of course, he was deeply saddened.</p>
<p>I wished that our greeting could’ve been in happier circumstances, but such is the tide of life.</p>
<p>The following day, Paul, my best friend, rang me and told me some very good news. After studying and working hard for the last two years, he had reached his goal: a fully qualified commercial airline pilot. Knowing how focused and dedicated he’s been I was absolutely delighted for him! Of course, he was buzzing with excitement about the future that now awaits him.</p>
<p>OK, both of them supplied the same meaning to their circumstances by saying EXACTLY the same phrase:</p>
<p>“Things will never be the same again.”</p>
<p>Same phrase, but a world apart in meaning.</p>
<p>In the first situation, the loss of a loved one is an unwanted change, a change that cannot be prevented. In the second situation, the qualifications are a wanted, planned change, a change brought about by conscious choice to achieve a desired lifestyle.</p>
<p>However, there is a very important lesson you can learn from both that can help you deal with change, whether it’s a desired change like a change of job or an unwanted change like loss of a loved one.</p>
<p>Look at the phrase again. It describes not just individual experiences but the whole of life on planet earth. Because NOTHING in this life will stay the same. It just isn’t the nature of life. The very nature of life itself is a constant cycle of birth and death.</p>
<p>As a species, humanity has evolved throughout its history and will continue to do so. The way life is today is dramatically different than it was just 20 years ago. Technology, science, education, standards of living – you name it, it changes.</p>
<p>Look at your own life and you’ll see that change has been ever present. People, jobs, relationships, lifestyle – none of it has ever stayed the same. And imagine how boring life would be if everyday was exactly the same!</p>
<p>Reacting to change in a catastrophic or euphoric manner isn’t the way to deal with it. Far better – and far less emotionally arousing – is to accept that change is a constant of life whether we want change or not and that change will always happen. It’s how you adapt and assign meanings to change that counts.</p>
<p>Keep this in mind when change occurs and you won’t become emotionally traumatized. Change is a constant and indeed, things will never be the same again!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Stress has always been a part of our lives. In this hectic time, people lead an increasingly stressful life. Experts state that a little stress can be good; it keeps you sharp and ready to move forward, and is sometimes vital for achieving optimum performance. However, medical research has determined that prolonged stress is very bad for the body, and can block the body&#8217;s natural ability to repair, regenerate and protect itself. Over 90% of disease is caused by stress. Stress is both a physical and psychological response. It can lead to chronic disease, obesity, insomnia, deteriorating relationships, depression, and more. </p>
<p>Stress is such a powerful and harmful force that it is vital that you learn effective stress management techniques to live a successful, happy, and healthy life. We must remember that we will always come across inevitable factors that cause pressure and anxiety on us. What we do not know is that it is not really the problems that are difficult to deal with, but our attitude towards them. So basically, the cause of stress is your attitude toward these things. What, then, is an effective way to deal with stressors? </p>
<p>Below are 5 great tips to handle stress.</p>
<p>1. Identify what makes you stressful and uneasy. Making a list of your stressful experiences is useful. Immediately deal with the issues that you can change, for instance waking up earlier for work in the morning, not leaving things till the last minute, and delegating tasks in case you are taking responsibility for everything. Forget about the issues that you cannot influence like being stuck in a traffic jam or not getting into the elevator because there is no room for you.</p>
<p>2. Calm down.  A few minutes break would do you good. Wash your face, breath slowly and deeply, and notice if there is tension in any part of your body and release it. You can also listen to relaxing music, or call a friend. Releasing your inner feelings to a friend is healthy option.</p>
<p>3. It will pass and it will be over before you know it. Remind yourself that the stressful event will end sooner or later can make you see the positive sides of things. At the same time, calm down your emotions and think of what is the best thing to do rather than take your energy away from what needs to be done.</p>
<p>4. Know yourself. Ask yourself: What triggers your anxiety? If for example it is your job, then maybe it’s time for you to reconsider whether it would be best to find a less stressful job. You can also make your job more tolerable by allowing yourself to get that needed vacation or leave.</p>
<p>5. Learn to use your relaxation response. Just as we all have within us the stress response, we also have an opposite response, which is the relaxation response. A person should elicit that on a regular basis. The relaxation response involves two steps. Repetition, the repetition can be a word, a sound, an expression, or a repetitive movement. The second step is to ignore other thoughts that come to your mind while you&#8217;re doing the repetition, and come back to the repetition. The technique should be used once or twice a day for about 15 minutes. Sit quietly and choose a suitable repetition, like a prayer, the sound Om, or the word love, or calm. Or you can do a repetitive exercise, for instance yoga, jogging, Reiki. Additional repetitive activities are knitting or handicraft. When you incorporate this into your everyday life, you become calmer and better able to handle the stressors. Practice makes perfect and the more you practice relax your mind, the easier it gets. </p>
<p>
The true causes of stress are not the problems or negative experiences that you encounter in your life; but your attitude toward them. So, the trick is to change your attitude and to develop a relaxed state, because you cannot be stressed and relaxed at the same time. It is important to understand that what we focus on, we energize. The more you continue to think about the factors that cause your stress, the more energy you give it. So it is vital to let go and focus on relaxation instead. Consequently, you&#8217;re less likely to be upset by a stressor, and thus less likely to have its harmful effect occur. Eventually, it is your choice. You could either continue to react in the same stressful way, or you could choose to improve your life by changing your attitude and becoming relaxed. There’s no other way around it.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Often times stress will manifest when we carry over yesterday’s concerns into our present day concerns. An accumulation will almost always end up in a high stress level. Therefore, we must be able to “dump” all of our concerns from the previous day or days and concentrate wholly on our today.</p>
<p>So here are 3 stress busting tips </p>
<p>- Stress Busting Tip #1 </p>
<p>Resolve right now to release every thought from yesterday and be only mindful of the now…. this thought only&#8230;this breath&#8230;this moment. Take in three very deep breaths and slowly release each one.</p>
<p>At the same time feel each and every concern, each and every problem, and each and every unresolved moment, begin to dissolve. You can deal with them at a later time. For now, you are only to be in this very moment.</p>
<p>Now go to your inner quiet place. Go deep inside to a place where you feel that you are at peace and then just relax and breathe in deeply and enjoy the feeling of being at one and at peace within yourself.</p>
<p>Use this special time and place to be calm. Free your mind and body of all worry, all regret, all disappointment, all anger and grief.</p>
<p>- Stress Busting Tip #2 </p>
<p>Next, think of one particular act, such as rocking your baby, taking a quick stroll, raking the leaves, and do that one simple thing. All the while, your mind is quiet and calm and you are in your own special place within.</p>
<p>Practice this act of quiet and calm each day and you will see that you will accomplish so much more. At the first sign of being stressed, go back to this mindful, quiet place and start all over again until you have reached your inner place of calm.</p>
<p>- Stress Busting Tip #3 </p>
<p>The very best thing that you can do for yourself is to eat, drink and rest – to your health!</p>
<p>Stress is easily brought on by not eating and drinking properly. When you don’t get the number of hours of sleep that you need each night, you are only setting yourself up for additional stress.</p>
<p>Limit the amount of salt, sugar, caffeine and alcohol in your diet. Drink plenty of clean, pure water each day and do at least moderate exercise each day. This will breathe new life into your skin, hair and will nourish all of your vital organs.</p>
<p>Take time to breathe properly! Take deep belly breathes to send pure oxygen to all of your body. Laugh and then laugh some more. It is food for the soul! Spend time doing the things that please you most. Engage in healthy and fulfilling relationships and work on problems that would erode the closeness that you have with someone special.</p>
<p>When we are content and living a balanced life everyday stresses seem to pale in comparison. We are better equipped to deal with the unexpected.</p>
<p>You can take control today! Isolate only one particular stressor in your life and then work on it until you regain control. At the very least, have some new hope!<b><i><a href='http://www.gas2electricity.com/' target='_blank'>electric car motor</a>|<a href='http://www.gas2electricity.com/' target='_blank'>electric car motor</a>|<a href='http://www.gas2electricity.com/' target='_blank'>electric car motor</a></i></b></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Has any of this happened to you?</p>
<p> &#8211; Your boss ends your Monday with a stack of papers and instructions that you must submit this report in the next 48 hours or else&#8230;</p>
<p> &#8211; Your significant other doesn&#8217;t answer your calls when you need to get a hold of them the most</p>
<p> &#8211; Your mother sends you Guilt-Tripping messages that you don&#8217;t come and visit enough</p>
<p> &#8211; Your landlord Completely ignores you when you tell her that part of the ceiling is leaking in your apartment</p>
<p> &#8211; Your credit card bill is getting HUGE and is taking over in your dreams</p>
<p>At this point your probably starting to feel a throbbing pain in your temples like your head is about to explode.</p>
<p>EASY does it.</p>
<p>You certainly don&#8217;t want that to happen now do you?</p>
<p>Sit down and take a deep breath, close your eyes, relax and unravel your inner thoughts.</p>
<p>Sometimes, when taking control over a chaotic life, a stressful situation, a physical ailment or an emotional dilemma, it will usually start within you &#8211; your mind, and specifically, your &#8220;Subconscious&#8221;.</p>
<p>Communicating with your subconscious doesn&#8217;t have to be seen as being difficult.</p>
<p>Negotiating with your own self(Yes, I know it sounds kind of crazy, but hear me out) can be &#8216;achieved&#8217; through a form of mind control called &#8220;Self-Hypnosis&#8221;.</p>
<p>Some of you reading this article right now may of heard of this practice and know How To do it, but for those of you who don&#8217;t here&#8217;s a sample of this basic procedure in 7 easy to follow steps.</p>
<p>
Step #1. Find a venue conducive for relaxation.</p>
<p>Find a quite room, with a comfortable temperature and set the lights just right (not too dim, not too bright).</p>
<p>Then&#8230; light a candle and incense if you desire.</p>
<p>
Step #2. Surround yourself with sound pleasant to your ears.</p>
<p>Play some relaxing music. Bring in a portable fountain. Hang some chimes where the breeze blows.</p>
<p>WHY?</p>
<p>Because the sound of music is soothing.</p>
<p>

<p>All my tensions, worries and anxieties are gone.</p>
<p>I am light, I am comfortable, I am at ease with myself.</p>
<p>(Repeat many times while breathing deeply and with your eyes closed.)</p>
<p>
Step #5. Picture what you want your life to be.</p>
<p>Visualize every detail, every situation that you want to happen.</p>
<p>Imagine it So&#8230; as if it is really happening at this moment.</p>
<p>
Step #6. Repeat step #4.</p>
<p>Breathe in, breathe out. Now&#8230; imagine yourself being surrounded by a bright, luminous light starting from your forehead until it fills the whole room.</p>
<p>
Step #7. Wake Up!</p>
<p>Simply wake up when you&#8217;re ready and feel refreshed.</p>
<p>
Repeat this procedure regularly as needed.</p>
<p>This exercise simply helps you clear your thoughts.</p>
<p>It may also lead you to Self-Revelations that will help you assess the situation on How you want to live your dreams.</p>
<p>It may or may not work, your goal may or may not be achieved &#8211; the universe has reasons humans may not fathom.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We all experience some stress in our lives every day, but if you find yourself worrying so much that you’re losing sleep and having a hard time concentrating at work, then it is time you took action. Worry and fear are powerful emotions, and if left untreated they can often lead to anxiety and even depression.</p>
<p>	The first thing to remember is that just as a seed cannot grow without soil and water to nourish it, your anxiety cannot grow without you feeding it. Anxiety is caused by an intense fear or worry about a possible outcome. These are the thoughts that are running unchecked through your head. The only way to control your anxiety is by controlling your thoughts.</p>
<p>	You can begin by thinking back to other times when you worried about something. Did the fear come true or was the worry groundless? How much time have you wasted agonizing over something that never came about? It’s okay to have a little anxiety, everyone does. It’s when the worry begins to control your life that it has become a serious problem.</p>
<p>	Worry has never solved anything. Because worry is a form of fear and intense fear can paralyze us, anxiety can actually make us fear making a decision and prevents us from solving the problem. Instead, we just keep running the same negative possible outcome over and over through our heads. Our fear actually creates additional fear.</p>
<p>	If there is something wrong, then you need to focus on fixing it instead of worrying about it. If it can’t be fixed, then worrying about what might happen tomorrow accomplishes nothing except spoiling today. Worry on its own has never fixed anything.</p>
<p>	Anxiety can become a vicious cycle that feeds itself. The only way to overcome the anxiety is to overcome the fear, and this is accomplished by changing your thought process. Rather than having a mind full of fear, fill it with hope and favorable outcomes. Events seldom turn out as terrible or as wonderful as we imagine they will. Our thoughts tend to the extreme while life is usually somewhere in the middle.</p>
<p>	Concentrate on the positives and when you feel any negativity creeping into your thought process, push it away and go back to the positives. It is like a tug-of-war, either you control your anxiety or your anxiety will control you. Start with small issues and work your way up to larger ones, always picturing a positive outcome. Once you can keep these positive results in mind, you then need to begin taking positive action to make them come about. The cure for anxiety begins as a thought and then works its way into a positive action.</p>
<p>	If you are carrying around a lot of worries, you need to either let some of them go or get yourself bigger shoulders.<b><i><a href='http://www.gas2electricity.com/' target='_blank'>electric car motor</a>|<a href='http://www.gas2electricity.com/' target='_blank'>electric car motor</a>|<a href='http://www.gas2electricity.com/' target='_blank'>electric car motor</a></i></b></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We are a pleasure seeking society. Most of us spend our energy seeking pleasure and avoiding pain. We hope that by doing this, we will feel happy. Yet deep, abiding happiness and joy elude so many people.</p>
<p>There is a huge difference between happiness and pleasure. Pleasure is a momentary feeling that comes from something external – a good meal, our stock going up, making love, and so on. Pleasure has to do with the positive experiences of our senses, and with good things happening. Pleasurable experiences can give us momentary feelings of happiness, but this happiness does not last long because it is dependent upon external events and experiences. We have to keep on having the good experiences – more food, more drugs or alcohol, more money, more sex, more things – in order to feel pleasure. As a result, many people become addicted to these external experiences, needing more and more to feel a short-lived feeling of happiness.</p>
<p>Thomas sought my counseling services because he “had everything” – his own successful business, a lovely wife and children, a beautiful home, and time to enjoy life. Yet he was not happy. While he had momentary feelings of happiness while watching a ball game or socializing with his friends, he also felt anxious and depressed much of the time. In fact, the anxiety had become so bad that he was having almost constant stomach pain, which his doctor told him was from stress.</p>
<p>As we worked together, it became apparent that Thomas’s main desire in life was to have control over people and events. He wanted others to do things his way and to believe the way he believed. He was frequently judgmental with his employees, wife, children and friends, believing that he was right and they were wrong and it was his job to straighten them out with his judgment and criticism. His energy would become hard and tough and he would be like a steamroller in his efforts to get his point across and get others to do things his way. When it worked and others gave in, Thomas felt a momentary pang of pleasure. But the pain in his stomach kept getting worse and worse, which is why he decided to consult with me.</p>
<p>Thomas also wanted control over his own feelings, and would often judge himself as harshly as he judged others in an effort to get himself to perform well and feel okay. He especially judged himself harshly when he felt rejected by others, frequently telling himself that he was an inadequate jerk.</p>
<p>As we worked together, Thomas began to see that happiness is the result of choosing to be a kind, caring, compassionate and gentle person with himself and others – quite the opposite of the judgmental, controlling person he had chosen to be. Thomas learned that happiness is the natural result of being present in each moment with love and kindness toward himself and others, rather than with being attached to the outcome of things and trying to control the outcome regarding events and others’ behavior. He discovered that he felt deep joy whenever he let go of control and chose caring instead. The anxiety in his stomach went away whenever his intention was to be a kind and caring person rather than a controlling one.</p>
<p>It is not easy to shift out of the deep devotion to control and become devoted to love and compassion toward oneself and others. Our ego wounded self has been practicing control since we were very little. Yet the moment our intent is to control, our heart closes and we feel alone and anxious inside. Our intent to seek safety and pleasure through controlling others, outcomes, and our own feelings leads to an inner feeling of abandonment and emptiness. We abandon ourselves when we are trying to control our feelings rather than be kind and compassionate with ourselves. Our anxiety and feelings of emptiness lead to more seeking outside ourselves to fill up with pleasurable experiences. The momentary pleasure leads to addictive behavior.</p>
<p>When the intent shifts out of controlling and not being controlled to becoming loving to ourselves and others, the heart opens and joy is the result. Deep and abiding happiness and joy are the natural result of operating out of the spiritual values of caring, compassion and kindness.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Are you a high school or a college student? Are you burnt out or stressed out? Do you often feel about being run down and tired? Is your life spinning out of a disturbed way? Do you have too many priorities or pressures? </p>
<p>Student days are considered to be one of the busiest moments in our lives. Recitations, assignments, projects, and exams those are the things that make students feel exhausted. Aside from that, most of the students do not have enough time for their family anymore.</p>
<p>All their socializations, extra curricular activities and community interactions influence their time management. It seems that they always seem to be needed somewhere and some things are always needed to be done. If these students do not have any idea about budgeting their time and keeping a schedule, most probably their goals will not be accomplished in the precise time it is needed. </p>
<p>What are the common time/schedule problems that a student encounters? Most of the high school or college students find it hard to manage their studies, parties, work and sports.  Aside from that, school and family pressure can also increase the student’s anxiety. </p>
<p>With the proper skills and right planning, it is possible to perform schoolwork together with some other things they need and want to do. Taking a proper control about the time is one of the most priceless skills a student must have. </p>
<p>There are many ways and helpful suggestions on how to manage a students time proficiently. To further discuss about time management, here are some list the benefits of time management. </p>
<p>•  Time management can increase the students’ ability to cope up with their lessons. It can also give them several ways on how to have a concise schedule of their classes to maximize their study time.</p>
<p>•  Aside from that, budgeting the time will allow the student to have enough time to prepare for each class. Time management can also distribute the time for each subject properly. For example, a student can still review his course notes before going to his next class. Having a little bit of time difference in between classes would allow you to move from one class to another without being late.</p>
<p>•  Moreover, a student can use time management to make a master list of his plans for the period.  Take note, every second counts. So as much as possible the student should consume their time in the most intelligent way.</p>
<p>•  The time management can help the student to find a suitable time for their term exam. Note that every quiz, prelims, mid-term, finals, essay and short quizzes must have an allocated time for study and research to get a high rating. </p>
<p>•  Most of the students learn flexibility. Because of concise planning of time, the student can fill in every allocated blank space of their daily and weekly task. An hour or two in between class can allow a student to clean his or her room or do some laundry. This way, the tasks don’t pile up.</p>
<p>•  There are some students that find it hard to create and stick to a weekly schedule. For example, a schedule created for a certain day is interrupted by an unexpected meeting, as a result, the entire plan for the week is disrupted. A proper way of time planning and student time management can help students to cope up with these situations and still egt their tasks done for that week. </p>
<p>•  Arrangement and preparation of the time can assist the students to set their personal priorities.  The student will make its own decision regarding their responsibilities and provide a balance over a single area before proceeding to the next. </p>
<p>•  Furthermore, correct time management maintains the student’s ability to plan ahead. By doing this, the student can avoid the rush and cramming in doing research papers, projects and studying for exams. </p>
<p>•  Time management method can also increase the level of awareness of the students when it comes to studying lessons. The students become more responsive when it comes to their subjects and studies. </p>
<p>Most students have a hard time balancing their schedule especially if they work at the same time. One or the other may be sacrificed. But with a good working student time management, they can get good grades at school, earn some money and still have some time left to enjoy hanging out with their friends or enjoy a party or two.</p>
