Beat Stress with "Six Easy Keys to Relaxation"
- and Enjoy Health and Happiness!

We all suffer stress from time to time. Sometimes stress gets out of control and causes serious illnesses and accidents.

Our ancestors had excellent ways of dealing with stress. If a dinosaur attacked, they ran. If they had no food, they went out and hunted. They used their fight or flight mechanisms without even thinking about them. Modern man often does not have the ability or knowledge to release stress.

Our instincts often tell us to run away from a frightening situation but our pride forces us to stay. This immediately allows stress to build and start showing itself through physical reactions. Tense muscles, quick breathing, butterflies in the tummy and headaches are an indication that stress is present.

The important thing to realize is that a certain amount of stress is actually helpful to the body. We were designed to react to stressful situations but modern man has lost touch with his natural beginnings and no longer has the release valve of fight or flight readily at his disposal.

"Overcoming Stress" - Six Easy Ways to Beat Stress by Working with Your Body and Your Mind - is designed for busy persons who want reduce stress NOW and not elsewhere in the future.

"Overcoming Stress" contains a series of quizzes to help you figure out your stress levels. It also has a series of self help tips that you can employ straight away to reduce stress and increase energy.

Stress is an abnormal condition that disrupts the normal functions of the body or mind. No two people are affected in exactly the same way, or to the same degree, but most people living in our highly industrialized society suffer from its effects at one or more times during their lives. Symptoms range from mind headaches, occasional bouts of insomnia, overall restlessness, digestive problems, irritable bowel syndrome, constipation and diarrhea, and abdominal pain.

SELECTED LIFE EVENTS THAT CAN BRING ON STRESS: Death of Spouse. Death of a close family member. Death of a close friend. Major personal injury, illness or pregnancy. Sexual molestation, drug abuse. Major change in the health or behavior of a family member. Gaining or losing a new family member. Sexual difficulties. Marital separation from mate. Marriage, marital reconciliation, divorce. Arguments with spouse, family members, friends, co-workers. Changes in sleeping habits or change in part of day when asleep. Vacations, Major holidays. In-law troubles. Financing major purchases. Beginning or ceasing formal schooling. Change in usual type and or amount of recreation. Change in outside social activities, religions, etc. Major change in eating habits, living conditions, moving. Spouse beginning or ceasing work outside the home. Changing to a different line of work. Major change in responsibilities at work. Changes in working hours or conditions. Troubles with the boss. Being fired at work. Starting a new job or career. Retirement from work. Business readjustment, changes in financial condition. Minor violations of the law (e.g., traffic tickets, disturbing the peace, etc.) Detention in jail or other institution.

Measuring Your Stress Level

If you've been wondering what degree of stress you live under, here is a quick way to get a fair estimate. Dr. Thomas and Dr. Richard Rahe composed a table of events and the amount of stress they cause. The most interesting feature of this table is that the people they interviewed actually told them, how they could rate specific events for the stress they cause, so this is human rather than a medical appraisal of the degree of stress those events caused As you get used to certain changes in your life, they become less stressful, so these ratings will not be entirely accurate for you. If, for example, you take a vacation only every five years, you might rate it a 25 instead of a 13. The common starting point used was a standard rate of 50 for marriage for all the people interviewed. The combined total of both positive and negative stresses in the past few months will give you an idea of your current stress level. Keep in mind that people have varying stress-handling capacities and this table does not take into account such regular stresses as recreational drug use, alcoholism, chronic illness, allergy, battering and random stresses such as car accidents, contest winning to the dreaded tax audit. This is presented as information only and should not be used for diagnostic or treatment purposes.
