Running surfaces have varied over the years, from basic dirt and cinders to modern synthetic tracks that offer the finest facility money can buy.

Running Surfaces

Where do I go from here? That is the question raised sometimes when an avid exercise or competition runner is looking for a place to stretch out the legs for a short time. There are numerous opportunities for the creative runner, ranging from synthetic track surfaces at high schools and colleges, to concrete sidewalks and streets of the city. There are trails in the great outdoors that may be perfect for a running session.

There are some slight differences in choices when the decision is cycling vs. running, since the runner can literally run almost anywhere. Cyclists, on the other hand, have to have access to certain spaces to engage in their pastime. Quite often, city streets are the only alternative.

Because no special equipment is needed, running remains an inexpensive sport and leisure activity. While some choose to invest money in only the best running apparel and shoes, others keep expenses to a minimum. Beyond the cost to the individual, the major expense in running activity is to the school or organization that maintains a good running track. Some tracks, such as those with a “bouncy” synthetic material, are excellent for regular use. Other tracks and the concrete of the city may be the cause of long-term injury. In some case, the injuries stem from a combination of improper running shoes, improper technique and hard, rough surfaces.

Running Tracks

Lawn areas with healthy grass are thought of by some as the ideal running track. This is generally true of golf courses, football and soccer fields, though the runner certainly should talk with a property owner or manager to get permission first. These grass “tracks” help runners develop stronger leg muscles, among other benefits. If the runner is careful, forested trails can be perfect for cross-country style running. If the runner is careful not to put himself at risk, and is careful to avoid foot and ankle injury, the outdoor experience will be worth it.

Over the past couple of decades, the synthetic track has become the most popular for academic and private training or exercise. This is important in the cycling vs. running debate as well). For years the running track was cinders, asphalt or some combination of dirt and rock. The harder surfaces tended to cause minor leg injuries and pain that, if not attended to, could become quite a concern for athletes and coaches. New running tracks have polyurethane in some form, as well as latex or rubber. Newer tracks have a small amount of impact compared to the running venues of the past.

Some choose to run on the beach, a type of running that will definitely build leg strength, endurance and stamina. Choosing the correct surface and being prepared are two key factors in happy and successful running sessions.

If I asked you to list and rank order the 5 events that cause you the most stress and then to tell me how you relieve stress what would you say? I know what I would say. My wife and friends and I have just returned from a holiday in south-east Alaska. In Juneau, Alaska’s tiny capital, there is a cable car that goes from the center of the town up to the top of Mt Roberts. My wife loves these experiences - I detest them. I didn′t realize I had acrophobia - extreme fear of heights - until I was driving up to a small village in India called Nainital. This pretty little British hill station lies at 6000 feet in the Himalayas. The trip nearly paralysed me. The experience also humbled me as I learned what it is like to have screamingly high levels of stress, anxiety and fear.

Different experiences trigger different levels of stress for people. Some people get a rush out of extreme sports while others are terrified at the thought of doing such dangerous things. For me, it is heights like to think of a way of reducing the stress. My best stress relief strategy is to make sure that I don′t engage in these experiences.

What makes you stressed and worried? Spiders, snakes, people, tests, and public speaking are very common stressors. Look at what I′m going to say and work out which ones are problems for you. What is it that makes you feel terrified and stressed? Sometimes it’s people, sometimes it’s places sometimes it’s insects or spiders. Examine the list below to see which ones cause you great distress.

In the workplace we have these triggers: organizational changes, unfair or excessive workloads, too much unpaid overtime, stressful demands and expectations, duties that do not match individual’s job specification, work that is boring and is not motivating, no (or limited) autonomy over the work situation, job insecurity and threatened redundancy, inadequate training for the demands of the position, inadequate, inappropriate or excessive supervision, a work environment that does not meet occupational health and safety standards, inadequate resources to do the job. Others include inappropriate social culture in the workplace, for example, racist, harassing, discriminatory, poor relationships with colleagues or bosses, and dramatic events in the workplace, for example, death, severe injury, hold-ups. What a list. It is a wonder that so many of us enjoy our workplaces a well as we do.

I grew up on a farm so I am not particularly concerned about snakes but many people have deep fears about these creatures. Consider your own list of personal fears. Sometimes they are social fears like attending a party when you don′t feel confident or appearing dumb or uninformed. Body shape and being overweight can destroy people’s self-esteem and cause social stress.

Being a family can be a stressful event. If you are a parent, saving up to college, paying your kids dental bills, determining when they should be able to date, unwanted pregnancies - the list goes on. You might be worried about your own relationships and this causes you constant stress. Families do create stress but they also provide stress relief.

What we have to do is to work out how to deal with these stressors in order to reduce or relive the stress and tension. I propose a model I call BE CALM. The acronym has two purposes: to remind you to be calm in the face of a stressful event or a difficult and person and the six letters represent logical strategies for dealing with complex situations. The model is B for Build, E for Examine, C for confront, A for Accept, L for Let go (forgive, forget) and M for Move on with your life. I don′t have space to explain this model but when one works through this carefully over any stressful event, a plan of action can be mapped out that will mean that we can manage and relieve stress effectively.

For many years, success has been viewed as a monopolistic trait of the rich and famous. However, that is only a fallacy as success actually begins and ends in the mind of a person. Our Mind is the biggest and most powerful assets that an individual can have in their quest to be successful. Programmed well, there is no limit to what our mind can achieve or do. You can now learn how to use hypnosis to help you achieve success.

Whether we realize it or not, our environment affects us in many ways. We have a perception of life in two perspective, Good and Bad. In fact, what is good or bad are just our own value judgment and our own perceptions. We can illustrate this with the following example where two individual who have just lost their job. The first individual because of the Job loss might be thinking about suicide when he contemplates the consequences of losing his job. His dignity, House and marriage might be at risk because of the loss of income. On the other side of the picture, The other person might be feeling please because he will have the opportunity to find alternative avenue to express his talents. Thus we can now begin to see why how we perceive things can affect our outlook of life.

We also do not realize that our present circumstance had been shaped by our past. Because of our negative past experiences, we tend to assume that faced with the same circumstances, it will automatically lead to the same results. Our mind become stagnant in processing positive experiences.

Because our perceptions of the present are shaped by our pasts, Our perceptions will shape our actions also in the present. What we do is totally determined by our perceptions entirely. Thus with that in mind, we have to agreed that our present actions will also shape our future. Therefore, it is essential that we correct our misconceptions and perceptions about our reality if we want to move ahead and be successful in our lives.

Having said that, perception about the outside world is just the one side of the coin. What you perceive about the future is as important. You must be certain of your goals in life, which is not the case with many people. Many people know what they don’t want, but are at a word’s loss when asked about what they want. Even if they know what they want, their answer would be quite vague. So it’s paramount to get a clear vision of what you want to achieve in life since identifying success without knowing it, is difficult!

The majority of people dwell on the negative as they can relate to those circumstances. Nevertheless, if we want to change at all our lives, we will need to change ourselves first in our mind. We might have had a bad experience in our past but it does not mean that it will be our future as well. At best, we should just take it as a lesson learnt and move on.

Whether we realize it or not, hypnosis is actually a common and natural event in our lives. It is such a regular occurrences that we actually drift in and out of hypnotic trances during the entire day. These trances normally are quite harmless. However, there are circumstances with which people will use hypnotism to bend other people’s freewill to benefit them. For example, to make people buy something which normally they would not buy.

You would probably wonder who these people are that uses hypnotism as tool. The main culprits are actually those of the media, the advertising agencies, Governments and those who push their opinion onto others. No advertisers exist to be welfare agents. Their entire existence center on the premise, that their advertisements will affect the choices that you make regarding purchases of products. Their marketing campaigns are directed towards making the public purchase their clients’ products regardless of whether you require it or not. Governments too also use the media to showcase and pushes their policies onto the electorate. A good example is the current presidential campaign that is going on in the US. Ever notice how advertisement heavy the campaigns are and as well as how emotionally charged those advertisements can be? Why do you think that this is so?

All these campaigns are planned and crafted with details to achieve the maximum impact within the shortest possible time. Their aim is to get you to buy or at least influence you to buy their products in the end. Do you ever stop to think if you really needed that second car in the garage when the first one is working fine? Now you are beginning to see the darker side of hypnosis.

Regarding news, they are meant to report events and the latest happening. But this definition has changed, news is now no longer related to bringing the daily affairs of the nation to us, but it is more about driving us to watch the news.

The truth is that good news is boring. You cannot hear to a happy story through out the day. It is more interesting to hear a story that goes like a happy man leaving for his job and then getting abducted by terrorists and it would make it all the more interesting and hypnotic if we add that meantime his wife lost her sanity and committed infanticide.

This is the unfortunate side of hypnosis.
