Please stop and read this next paragraph very carefully...

To take control of stress and increase your work productivity:
- You do not need to listen to obscure relaxation or hypnosis CDs
- You do not need to have ongoing therapy
- You do not have to attend expensive courses
- You do not have to ingest foul tasting herbal remedies
- You do not need your aura cleaned
- You do not need to radically cleanse your system and change your diet

You don't fix a leaky boat by getting rid of the water!
You don't fix a smoke alarm by taking out the batteries!
...And you won't fix stress by blocking or getting rid of the symptoms!




The popular 'quick-fix' stress management techniques
are not only ineffective, and sometimes dangerous -
but they often create MORE STRESS in your life.


Stress is not a disease to cure, it is not a condition to manage, and it is not an ailment to fix with magical stress management techniques or stress relief remedies.

Stress is a build up of mental and physical tension in your body that distracts your mental focus, drains your energy and impairs your immune system - all reducing your work productivity.
Remove that tension - and the stress disappears.

People waste thousands of dollars and years of their life searching from practitioner to practitioner, from website to website, for the 'ultimate way' to relieve stress. This is often a total waste of time - because most of your tension is self created!

READING STRESS SIGNALS

By Deane Morrison

From M winter 2007

Stress in children concerns Megan Gunnar, a new Regents Professor and internationally recognized expert in the University's Institute of Child Development. Not all stress is bad for children, she reassures, but helping them navigate the tumultuous early years of life takes effort. It's worth it, though; children with strong parental support end up more curious and willing to take risks.

Despite their individual personalities, all children find certain things threatening. Topping the list is separation from parents or the equivalent. A related source of stress is being in a bad situation, such as being bullied and having no one to help out. Another source common in preschool settings is the challenge of negotiating play with lots of other kids.

To spot stress, look for signs of uncharacteristic crabbiness and irritability, changes in mood, withdrawal, or loss of interest in things that used to interest your child. Very young children can't express what's bothering them, but look around.

"Are you and your spouse arguing? Are you stressed? Kids are exquisite readers of emotions," says Gunnar.

If your child seems stressed, find time to give him or her your undivided attention and keep the lines of communication open all the time so you're able to talk easily at a time of crisis.

Being aware of the causes of stress and your child's stress level "doesn't necessarily mean you do something," explains Gunnar. "Watch, listen, but don't [automatically] interrogate your child. It's a delicate balance."
