Searching
for Stress Relief
By Linda Woods
Gaining stress relief can be as simple as keeping a daily journal
of events. Talking or writing about your day is one way to 'unload'
your thoughts and feelings. If you don't want to talk to someone directly,
talk to yourself. If you own pets, take the dog out for a walk. He'll
love you for it and you'll enjoy the company of unconditional love,
which always helps to lift spirits. Try to work out your frustration
in your head and try not to stay upset by that jerk at the office
or the fact that nothing that you asked to be done was completed.
To obtain stress relief this way, you must be able to 'let it go',
if just for a little while. Try to find something to smile about.
If we look hard enough, we can usually find a silver lining behind
every dark cloud, and if you can't, just give it some time. For those
who don't have time, perhaps a new plan of action is necessary. For
many, stress relief is assured when pro-active rather than re-active
measures are taken to address any stressful issue or problem. - Full

Stress,
Disease and Meditation
By
Joe Gattis
Millions
of people suffer from stress related diseases each year. A recent
search of the internet turned up over 4 million items containing
the phrase "stress and disease." Stress never seems to end in modern
society as we encounter situations at work, in driving, in our relationships
and more. Medical research has found a steroid produced by the body
to deal with stressful situations. But this steroid has a secondary
effect that shuts down the body's immune system to concentrate the
body's resources on survival. Stressful situations trigger a "fight
or flight" response, either of which require large amounts of energy.
Stress in more primitive times demanded the need for that response.
For example, if you met a hungry lion you could be eaten. This stressful
situation produced the steroid and your body would have the energy
to get away. After escaping, the body would stop producing the steroid
and the immune system would return to normal.

Lowering Stress
Levels with Meditation
By Steve Hill
Do you
feel that you are constantly under stress? Are you looking into
ways of how you can reduce your stress levels? If you have answered
yes to both of these questions, you are not alone. The world is
seemingly becoming faster, more demanding and more pressurised.
In this article I write about how meditation can help you to relax
and become a happier person. Stress affects people in different
ways. I personally feel very tired and lethargic during these periods
and start to worry about things, like a future event. This can easily
lead me into a period of depression, which in the past I have found
it very difficult to come out of.

Using
Meditation To Relieve Stress
By Shane Baxter
Not
long ago, meditation was seen as more of a joke than a useful therapy
technique. I remember seeing many comedies where one person would
be sitting with their legs crossed "ohm"ing while someone else made
fun of them. Over the past few years, however, the benefits of meditation
have become more widely accepted. One of the major benefits it offers
is relief for stress and anxiety. Why
is meditation so helpful in relieving stress? Well, first of all
it helps your mind to focus on something other than the causes of
your stress. By focusing on one thing, it helps to release the anxiety.-
