Relaxation Techniques For Stress Management (The Stair Step Method)

The unhealthy affects of stress can be evidenced in
physical as well as mental and emotional health
problems. Besides heart and digestive problems, stress
can contribute to overall muscle aches, stiffness and
even pain.

Relaxation techniques can help manage the affects of
stress on the body as well as the mind. There are
various techniques one can use to experience a state
of relaxation and calmness, which require little time
or effort on the part of the individual seeking to
benefit from them.

Here is one relaxation technique that many people have
found beneficial in managing the level of stress they
experience.

Stair Step Relaxation Technique

Begin with a series of deep, cleansing breaths. Feel
your body relax, as you slowly breath in and out. It
can be helpful to imagine the tension and stress
leaving your body as you exhale, while peace and calm
fill you, as you inhale clean, fresh air.

Once you have done this for a period of two to three
minutes, begin to experience the tension leaving your
muscles, one at a time.

Once you are ready, picture yourself at the top of a
flight of 10 stairs. Take one step down this set of
stairs, and imagine that your body, your mind, and
your spirit feel more relaxed, and more at ease as you
reach this step. Say the number "One" as you descend.

With each succeeding step you can experience a deeper
and deeper state of calm and relaxation. As you
descend upon each step say the corresponding number of
the step you are on.

When you reach 10, which is at the bottom of this set
of steps, you will be entirely calm and relaxed. Any
problems or worries you had will have vanished, and
you will feel totally at peace.

Once you have experienced this state for a moment or
two, you will be ready to come back up the set of
stairs. With each step that you climb, you will become
a little more awake and alert to your surroundings.

Your body and mind will remain at calm and at peace
even after you return to the final step. You will feel
renewed energy, and a renewed sense of purpose and
joy, as you return to the top of the stairs.

DEPRESSION Kills

We hear reports around the globe of the many souls that suffer depression, because of overwhelming stress. With wars, poverty, and violence going on around us is it any wonder that depression is an issue? Statistics has proven that depression links to increased heart attacks and heart disease. Researchers have not proved that depression is the cause of heart disease, but they do feel it is a contribution. Depression is also the root for suicidal increase. Yet the fatal mistake that doctors make is over medicating the patient. Medications not only suppress the problem, but it contributes to medical issues. The result, the problem is still there. Everyday studies are finding new information and yet the information is often tossed to the backseat while traditional treatments continue.

New studies reveal that in contrast, intellectual and in depth, research coupled with insight helps scientist understand depression. After study the mental illness, closely they concluded in once study that depression is possibly linked to existing heart diseases that are a result of

With premature death-related to heart disease caused by premature changes in women. In other words, postmenopausal issues were said to be linked. After careful research, it was shown that antidepressant drugs might cause more harm to patients. Observers that watched these women claimed that women were at higher risk of heart attacks while inducing antidepressants. The Archives of Internal Medicines after conducting surveys claimed that more than 90,000 women over the age of fifty and out of 16 percent suffered major depression. This was half the women and this half was taking antidepressants. The researchers continued their studies and found that postmenopausal women suffered depression, and because of taking antidepressants, over half the women were at risk of death related to heart diseases.

In 2010, new researchers concluded that the percentage of women at risk would also be subject to fractured bones, and that more than 8,000 women over 65 were prescribed medications and the medicines had affected the central nervous system. Researchers deduced that after taking prescribed drugs for five years the women were noticeably showing risks of fracturing bones, and those that did not take the drugs lived healthier lives. After careful studies researchers concluded that, the prescribed drugs were the linking cause of psychical symptoms. In order to reduce depression, one must exercise, eat healthy, write in journals, and use self-induced analytic profiling and evaluation of self. It is extremely important that a person come to understand their handicap and deal with it. More studies have shown that when the spine is out of alignment, or injured that it links to depression, which is often caused by stress. Often when we visit our Chiropractor, he/she can help us to get our spine back in alignment, which has proven to relieve stress and depression.

                In spite of the studies that concluded that antidepressants could put a patient at risk doctors around the globe, still take out their prescription pads and start writing. Often the problem is ignored and blame is placed on the patients, while the doctors continue prescribing.  

Now you must ask the question, are you at risk? If so, you need to take care that you consult with the proper physician. Ask him to monitor your issues carefully and sway him away from prescribing antidepressants.

Stay alert to your mental health and avoid floundering, as this contributes to depression. There are solutions to any problems that will work for you. Get out of the house and socialize. Take up a sport that you may enjoy. Read a damn good book or write one yourself. Writing is a gift, an art, and a contribution to Freedom of Speech; let the words flow.

                As I analyzed this distraction, I concluded, that depression is a mask of broken memories backed with links to medical issues formed and ignored. The spinal and nervous system are remarkably relative if not constituting the main cause of this distraction. What happens is people that suffer fail to exercise, sit straight, bend appropriately, and so forth. The result, the spine is dislocated. When the spine is out of line, problems will arise.

Depression can kill only if you let it!

Feeling Down and Self Mastery

What Causes People to Feel Upset

There is many things that can make people upset. When people get upset it is normally because someone has hurt their feeling. It doesn’t feel good when you are upset. Other reasons people feel upset is that they lack the skills they need to improve their life. Each day they may struggle to find answers, yet the answers seem out of their reach. They may wander through life asking other people what is wrong with them, when all they had to do in the first place is reach deep within where they would find the answers to resolve their problems. They lack self-mastery skills.

Outline:
Because most people's emotions are sensitive, many things can cause a person to feel upset. People often feel sad, or hurt when someone calls them names, yet the names they are called is often not the root of the real problem.

What are some things that might get someone upset?
Just think about it when you hear someone talk to about your or even call you names that are not good ones. How does this make you feel?  You may think that this person is not your friend. Truly, if the person calls you names, then they are not your friend, but if that person gives, you sound advice and you become angry...then you are not the friend.  Therefore, what do you do when this happens all you can do is walk away or try to talk to them. May when you talk to them you will be able to find out why they are doing this to you. Often you have to let go of the negative and get with positive people to help you develop self-mastery skills. 

Another thing that might make you upset or feel blue would be if your child would call you out of your name this isn’t a good thing. We are there for our children though thick and thin. Then to have your child call you out of your name would just tear you up. Therefore, what should you do when this happens to you? I would think when something like this happens to you that you should sit down and have a talk to them. Maybe a good grounding is in order. It depends how bad they have hurt your feelings.

What should you do if some one at work upsets you? If this should happen then you have some other choices that you are able to do. The first thing that you should do is talk to that person and finds out why they are making you upset. If this doesn’t help then going to your boss or Forman and asking to talk to them, you are going to want to explain why you are feeling up set and ask them to do something to help you. Maybe they will be able to talk to them and help to get the answers your want to get.

What are you going to do if you’re not able to pay your bills? When you are not able to pay your bills, you’re going to feel inadequate. You have to pay your bills in order to be able to live so what do you do when this happens. When this happens to you then you might want to see about making some kind of payment plans this works a lot of times, if your not able to do this then maybe a close friend or even a family member can help you though times like this is want friends and family is all about help when in need.

When you get up set, you’re going to have to remember that you will need to stay calm. If you’re not able to do this then you might want to stay away from that person that get you all upset, just until your able to talk to them to explain how you are feeling

Accepting

Do you have the power to accept the matters you are able to change and the things you can't change? Do you have the power to accept that others may alter them, instead of you altering them? Do you admit that you are who you are, no matter what other people think? Can you accept the many changes that come about in your life?

If you replied yes to one or all of these questions then you're off to a good start on bettering your life. If you're willing to accept, you've the power to laugh, even when something isn't funny. For example, if somebody pushed you, you may stand back and laugh. The push is only a threat to your emotion, which you'll see, accept and discover a way to gain command of the situation.
When you are able to accept matters in life, including you and other people you discover a way to take charge. When you're in command, it helps you to see how you are able to better your life. When you learn to accept you'll learn to discover you.
Individualism is personal. Philosophers over generalize this matter. Many individuals in the world believe that when we act the same way at all times, we have demonstrated our identity. Politically incorrect! We have emotions, views, behaviors, actions, and have been overrun by a world of influences both great and foul. Every day we'll feel something new, which causes our personality to reflect on these alterations.
Consequently, when you see somebody laughing one minute and shouting the next, you're seeing a shift in emotions, which is a normal rule of identity for this individual. Unless the person’s views alter, behaviors change dramatically, acquaintances change regularly, and so forth, and you're watching common behaviors.
We live in a domain that desensitizes us. We're surrounded by billions of influences on TV, in the media, on radio, in homes, government, schools and so on. Each to their own, but everybody is judging somebody at some time, which is something we must accept. We can't change these people’s behaviors and way of believing, but we may change ours. This is a part of discovering and accepting. The best way around the world is to become your own influence and let other influences make another persons life miserable. Only trust in sources that prove honest with their actions, behaviors and words. Positive reflections are the key to living more pleased.
Once you learn to accept you'll be eager to smile. For example, if somebody makes you mad you'll see the humor in his or her actions. You might see the wit in your actions if you make an error and feed into their foolishness.
Once you begin to discover the humor in life, you'll feel better within. We're involved in a rambunctious world filled with greedy individuals, envious souls, lusty tigers, etc. We must learn how to work around these individuals, accept us and march on. Once you learn to change to better you, others might follow. Good behavior has proven far better than words to encourage other people to change.
As you grow you'll feel a fresh hunger, and that hunger will guide you to find fresh ways to better you. Eventually as you begin to feel better, you'll see a need to work out, eat right, and hang out with positive influences etc. Once you feel this hunger, you'll feel inspired to labor to accomplish your goals.

It Doesn't Get Any Easier Later, It Just Get's Later

War is cruelty, and you cannot refine it. Every attempt to make war easy and safe will result in humiliation and defeat. If the people raise a great howl against my barbarity and cruelty, I will answer that war is war. It is not popularity-seeking. War is, at best, barbarism. War is the remedy our enemies have chosen, and I say let us give them all they want. There is many a young man here today who thinks that war is all glamour and glory; but let me tell you, boys, it is all Hell!"

                                        

                                                 - General William T.Sherman.

"There are no spectator seats in an ambush." It is the only way I could psychologically justify many of my actions during war.

                                            -TimothyKendrick

   To look back at our lives and try or discover why certain things happened can be what I call an enhancer.  It expands my references and may explain some of my actions that have made me what I am today.

   1 out of 4 returning veterans with PTSD Post Traumatic Stress Disorder will commit suicide.  1 out of 4, freaking astonishing!!!.

   I personally preferred for awhile what I call "suicide on the installment plan".  This is where one drinks massive quantities of alcohol and prodigious amount of pills until you shoot yourself or just die.  Well I couldn't bring my self to shoot myself (i enjoyed the pain too much) I was in Latin America and my friend finds me in my hooch with and empty bottle of brandy and pills and says "do you think you need some help"  I thought "no I'm killing myself just fine thank you".

  Like a wounded animal I had crawled off to die by myself. Someone had found me, not my plan This was in the late 90's so back to the hospital I go for the umpteenth time.  It was a nice four walled place in Panama City, Panama.

  I had seen death in Africa years before and it haunted me. Ahh but my ego would not permit me to deal with it in "positive constructive matter".

  I had friends who ended it in their own way.  Hell, I hand nothing I thought at the time to live for.  A paternity suit, the IRS, I'd look in the mirror and after all the "pats on the back", all I saw was the angel of darkness and me running. I was flat broke.

  I was drinking brandy because it was dirt cheap where I was at.  God awful nasty but it did its job. I ate when my body made me. Once again I thought, "you chickenshit, you can't even kill yourself right". 

 This began my journey into self awareness.  I searched for meaning in my life.  It was like when the astronaut "Buzz" Aldrin came back from walking on the moon. He felt like "how do I top that".  "Buzz" crawled into depression and a bottle for many years.  Hell, Neil Armstrong refused to talk to any media for over 2 decades. I never walked on the moon though I lived through things that some could not even imagine living through.  I was addicted to it and I loved every minute when "the sht was hitting the fan and I was in the middle of it.  Then I knew peace, an eerie peace, the senses, and the awareness.

The awareness THAT was what I was looking for.

 The awareness was never found in a bottle of booze or pills. I only discovered it in Iraq after bull@itting my way back to a Department of Defense job.  I had to see the beast (war) that fed me for so long again.

 What I was doing to that point was not working.  In 7 years I had 23 jobs.  This was from 1998-2003.  I was flat ass broke, on the verge of losing everything including my wife.  I had to get that job with the DOD (they knew I was crazy so I got it). Next thing after 2 tours I'm out of my mind and found drunk in the back of a Iraqi bus.  My boss, (who I thought was a prick).  Says to me. (After he gave me a rash of sht).  You're done aren't you?  I said yes I'm done.  That was it he helped me out of the bus.  They got me out of country quickly, Funny just like 10 years before in Mogadishu.  This time I'm on a C-5 just like 10 years ago.  Wow what a coincidence I think. I had gotten pretty good at lying to doctors so in Kuwait I lied again and they bought it.  If not, it was a one way ticket to Landstuhl Hospital in Germany in the psyche ward.

  I had finally gotten to a point of enough leverage (pain) that It became a "must" to find solutions if not only for myself but for others who may have these same issues. This is how my first book "PTSD: Pathways Through the Secret Door" came about.

 The secret door is our mind.  It is not what happens to us, it is what happens within us that matters.  It  is unlocking and opening doors within our subconscious mind and tapping into our full potential as human beings.  Learning that Living is Giving and our mission on this earth is not complete, well until it is complete

What Are Hypnotic Language Patterns

What are hypnotic language patterns?

What are hypnotic language patterns?



Language is an interesting thing. The most amazing thing isn't that we
get confused by it but that we're able to use it so well without
confusion.



Language is such a powerful tool that, in skilled hands, it can be used
to persuade, motivate, seduce and even harm.



That's right, in skilled hands (or mouths?) language can even create
addictions and depression.



This power comes from learning what are called hypnotic language
patterns.



Hypnotic language patterns came out of the studies of hypnosis,
psychology and sales.  When language patterns were first
discovered the psychotherapy community realized that they could be used
inappropriately. They then made a sincere effort to limit instruction
of language patterns only to psychiatrists willing to pay $2000 for the
weekend training.



These language patterns entered the popular culture with weekend long
“seduction seminars” that began to spring up to
teach lonely and clueless men how talk women into an uncontrollable
state of arousal.



Now before you start to roll your eyes in disbelief let me tell you
that these language patterns did just that! There are scores of now
satisfied men who will attest to their power.



An example of these seduction patterns is one in which the man simple
begins talking to a woman about emotions and feelings that precede
arousal. There is nothing lurid or suggestive about this because it's
not about arousal or sex itself. At an unconscious level it sets the
stage for warm tingly feelings that might elicit a tilt of the head, a
smile and a flirtatious glance.



Seduction is only one side of how language patterns are being
used.  They are of course very useful in sales and influence
and many a politician have hired speech writers who training in these
powerful tools. Ronald Reagan wasn't known as “The Teflon
President” without reason. He could woo and amuse the most
uninterested audience by using language. Likewise in spite of the
scandals around him Bill Clinton always was able to be liked as a
person.



In recent years there have even been language pattern trainings that
emphasize how to use language to induce guilt, depression and suicide.
While these trainers have been condemned for “turning to the
dark side” there is no limit of people wanting to learn.



These language patterns often begin by painting the dark picture of the
future and describe feelings of hopelessness and despair.



But the genie is out of the bottle now and people who want power,
whether it's to help or to harm, are attending seminars and trainings
as well as reading the many books on the subject.



To conclude, never underestimate the power of words. They are used on
you in ways that you might never imagine.
