Before I proceed to tell you how to deal with stress, I want to give you some idea of how people respond to stress. Then I want to introduce you to the idea of negative self-talk - one of the great enemies of stress reduction techniques. My first example is Jane who is failing to cope at work.

Jane is 42 years of age; she has had no previous problems, no previous stress attacks, and no mental health episodes. Lately, she has been very distressed at work and has fears that everyone thinks she’s incompetent. She has become over-sensitive to her leader’s feedback and to the looks of her colleagues. You could say that she is slightly paranoid. The outcome of all of this is that she has become socially phobic. She finds it very difficult to go to parties with her husband. She tends to hide in another room so that she doesn’t have to socialize with people.

Jane’s problem is that she is experiencing work stress. She feels constantly worn down and tired. Physically she feels nauseous and sick. Emotionally she feels depressed and terrified of making mistakes and she reports feeling unable to cope with work demands.

Jane is not performing well at work. She can’t manage the stress and her system is overloaded. You feel the same way sometimes too? Can you understand her level of stress? Have life’s events overtaken you? Are you constantly tired and mildly depressed? Do people ask what is wrong with you? Are you tired of life? Are you coping well? Has all of this made it much less effective at work?

If you answered yes you are suffering serious work stress. This is not surprising with the pressure we have at work. Some people think this is a reasonable outcome of a busy work life. After 9/11 research showed a great increase in heart disease. Strokes, cardiac disease and high blood pressure increased. When people were emotionally ill, they were physically ill. Work productivity suffers when people are emotionally unwell.

We need to know what causes this workplace stress. What are the factors that create problems for research work? There are many of them as you will soon see.

These include excessive workplace demands. Poor management and poor communication in the workplace cause stress. Oddly enough, poor relationships at home can cause workplace stress as much as interpersonal conflict with colleagues.

What is the best way to cope in the workplace? In large measure its up to you. You can change jobs but this is not very effective. One clever way to solve the problem of your boss is to list his or her name with a headhunter in the hope that someone else will employ your boss. From my experience the major problem with stress at work is poor role specification. Different perspectives on your work responsibilities will cause stress. The question remains how to solve this problem appropriately.

One way to control workplace stress is to recognize the role of negative thinking. There is an old saying that you are what you think so you have to consider your negative thoughts. If you are stressed you can deal with the problem if you try. You must realize that you have to confront negative self talk. How we feel is shaped by how we think. Self talk occupies much of our day.

What I am going to say sounds simple but it is true. We are our own worst enemy because we constantly criticize ourselves. The ratio of negative to positive thought is 10 to 1. Our constant self-criticism causes stress. Our situation can be made worse if our friends and loved ones criticize us. To start to manage workplace stress and personal stress we need to begin by eliminating negative self talk and increasing positive self regard.

Do you like awake the whole night waiting to fall asleep? Do you use prescription drugs to fell you to sleep? Do you go to sleep in the morning when the night fails to put you to bed? If the answer is yes then think again. You like a total of 20 million citizens of America is victim to what is called acute insomnia, but that is not the end of the story. It just begins here. There is good news for all of you out there who suffer from this disorder of sleeping. Hypnosis insomnia therapy is what you need. This therapy will enable you to sleep effectively, safely and most important restfully. No more felling groggy or lethargic in the morning, just a beautiful freshness about you. So what is this hypnosis therapy?

Foremost of all, hypnosis cannot be equated to sleep. It is an altered stage of extreme deep relaxation where the mind is still awake. Under hypnosis, although the patient is unaware of his or her physical surrounding, the mind is highly receptive of any suggested stimulus. As such, with this form of therapy, you can actually program the mind for peaceful sleep. This occurs during the stage when the body goes into a state of relaxation. Even then, the mind is fully conscious of any suggestion made to it. With just a few sessions, your mind will already be programmed to let you sleep better. This is a very effective program which is used by many as an alternative to medications.

The next procedure after complete relaxation is to learn of the cause behind your sleeplessness. Sometimes small changes in your evening habits may prove to be very useful for a good night’s sleep. This in fact is an important part of the hypnosis insomnia therapy.

The most vital procedure in a hypnosis insomnia therapy is neuro-linguistic programming, in other words NLP. This program reverses the thought and feeling process of the patient. Those experiences or ideas which previously created anxiety and stress, will now produce a calming and relaxing effect. If the anxiety in the patient cannot be removed then success in such cases cannot be had. Hypnotherapy also uses processes of visualization which help in shutting of anxiety and stress through programming of the unconscious. Since the effect is permanent so the feeling stays the whole day and ultimately while going to bed it helps you to fall asleep and have a reposeful night.

Another method used for curing patients of insomnia is the Ericksonian Hypnotic Metaphor program. Using this program, the therapist will use metaphor to enable the subconscious mind to remove the feeling of anxiety, which disrupt sleeps.

Initially we discuss about self-hypnosis as an better way to treat insomnia. Although it is not possible for you to be successful in self hypnosis every time, it is crucial that you continue to train yourself using post hypnotic therapy.

The good thing about this sort of treatment is that, it is not harmful. In addition, a third party cannot harm you in anyway by programming you because your subconscious mind cannot be force to do anything against your will. Furthermore, This treatment only takes 30 minutes per session. With such a quick turn around time, you mind is already imprinted with the “messages” to dispel all your anxiety that causes your acute insomnia. As such, it is a wise choice to consider this form of treatment in the future if you suffer from insomnia.

Like all forms of treatments, there are always exceptions to the rule. Those who are senile, psychotic or having an IQ level below 10 are extremely difficult to hypnotize. This is because they cannot concentrate or have no motivation at all. As with all things, we must always be motivated before we can be successful in any endeavor.

Most of us know at least one person who has been diagnosed with depression. Maybe you think that you may have depression? Do your emotions fit the criteria for depression? Clinical depression affects millions of people. Understanding what depression is can be a first step towards getting the right help. Let’s look at some of the facts.

All of us experience blue moods once in a while. We all experience feelings of sadness. It is just a normal part of going through life. When those blue moods turn into a dark heavy persistent cloud, and when those sad and hopeless feelings become your predominant feelings, you may indeed be suffering from depression.

Depression is a mental disorder. Depression can overwhelm your mind, your thoughts and your body. It affects your personality, your interaction with others, and your beliefs as well. When in depression it is just about impossible to feel hopeful about anything, including ever feeling happy again.

Since normal feelings of sadness, and the feelings of depression are very similar, differentiating between the two is usually by time and intensity. The feelings from depression are much more intense than a normal reaction to a negative event.

Typically, the threshold for diagnosing depression is about two weeks. When we experience negative events, it is normal to want to withdraw, and to feel sad. If after a few weeks you are still withdrawn and there is no relief from the sadness, it is possible that you have entered a depressive episode. Untreated depression can last for months to years.

The great news is that depression is very treatable. Traditionally, a combination of therapy and medication is really quite effective. Today an entire range of alternative therapies have shown impressive results at relieving even long standing, serious depression. Some alternative therapies very effective for the treatment of depression are: Emotional freedom Techniques, Tapas Acupressure Technique, Chi Gung, nutritional supplements and a simple thing such as walking are just a few examples.

Depression can affect anyone. It is not a disorder for “weak” people. If you feel you may have depression, do not hesitate to seek help. The sooner you do, the sooner you can get back to your old self again.
