One effect of stress on the human body is the hair loss. People as young as those in their early 20s hair loss too experienced – often it is not caused by genetics, but rather by a stressful work environment. This is particularly true in a work environment that focuses on the production of daily production. Employees are required to go outside for days to do overtime. People who work in a high chemical may also experience hair loss due to chemicals to which they are exposed. Sudden, hair loss is called non-genetic telogen effluvium, which occurs after the end of stressful events. It causes hair follicles to temporarily stop the production of hair and relapse into a resting state prematurely. The hair follicles remain in the resting phase for several months at an unusual amount of hair falling head. The good news is that this type of hair loss is temporary – it ends at the end of hair follicles resume hair production, provided that you do not experience more stressful situations again. When using bottles of lotion may seem like a good idea, a better way to stop hair loss is by tackling the causes of the problem and stress management. There are several ways you can manage stress effectively and prevent hair loss. Cut the stress is extremely useful. Although it seems easy, we must be aware that there are no proven formulas to 100% stress free. However, learning to reduce stress by understanding stress and identification of stressors would be worth your time and your well-being. We are learning the art of disassociation. Free your mind from your body during a certain time every day, even if it takes a few minutes of your day. The more you are able to remain in this state of calm, the better. Another form of unbundling is the separation of business with pleasure. Enjoy your time away from work, and do not think of things that you want to do when you’re at work. Whenever possible, always try to slot in a time of relaxation. Not only through breathing exercises and relaxation applied, but by doing something you love and enjoy. You can sing, you can paint, you can play computer games, or you can go to your favorite park for a stroll or walk your dog. Lose your hair, your beauty, your health and you is not worth the stress as well, living his life fully!

The Truth About Stress Relief
Monday, April 12th, 2010Stress relief is the process by which various techniques are used to help person combat situations which are highly stressful. In this case, stress refers to the physiological response that a person will give to any outside source which triggers the “fight or flight” response. Hans Selye and Walter Cannon are often given credit for conducting some of the first studies on stress. They spent a great deal of time studying various animals, and they studied the responses that the animals gave to various external stimuli, and this includes cold, heat, or surgical procedures. The purpose of doing this was to eventually figure out the factor of stress within humans.
A number of studies over the years have shown that stress is caused by various stressors that can be measured. While a moderate amount of stress is good for humans, too much stress can lead to a variety of health problems, some of which are very serious. There are a large number of ways in which a person can get stress relief. Many of these involve things such as exercising, techniques that bring relaxation, and even meditation. Time management is closely related to stress management, and over the years, a number of techniques have been used to help people cope with stress.
One interesting thing that I should mention is that stress can be measured. One of the scales that is used to do this is the Holmes and Rahe Stress Scale. Stress can be measured based on the amount of blood pressure that is measured, and the skin temperature can also be used to measure the amount of stress that a person is under. Stress has become a prominent issue in the fast paced world that we live in today. While people, particularly in industrialized nations, enjoy a higher standard of living, they are also under much more stress as compared to their ancestors.
Pressure to perform well on the job or in school can also lead to large amounts of stress. While many expects believe that external factors play a significant role in the level of stress a person experiences, the way that the person perceives the external stimuli has also been found to be of great importance. If a person still seems to be under stress have trying a variety of therapies, this may be a sign that they are suffering perhaps from depression.Stess can be relieved or eliminated if you know how. Everyone can learn how to deal with stress effectively.
How to Quit Smoking Cold Turkey. What About Those Cravings. Part 2
Friday, April 9th, 2010Hopefully, after reading through part 1. You should understand that the reason people begin smoking, (cool, friends, risky, party etc) has no relation to why they continue to smoke.
However as a smoker continues to smoke, reasons need to be found for justifying the behavior, because it makes no more sense to smoke ,than it does putting your head over a fire place and inhaling smoke from there. Reasons have to be made and meaning placed upon the behavior of smoking to justify why a person would do it when it smells bad, tastes bad, costs money and has long ranging health effects.
Once a smoker understands that every reason they have created for continuing to smoke is false, it takes them a giant step closer to being a non smoker. Because there is only one reason why a person smokes, and that is because of the substance nicotine which is found in a cigarette.
When a person inhales nicotine into their body for the first time, rather than relax the body, it creates a slight stress as the nicotine is expelled from the blood stream. This stress is relived when further nicotine is inhaled. The nicotine leaves again, creating a stressor and this stressor is once again relived by smoking. This is the ongoing spiral a smoker finds themselves in. By smoking a person adds an additional stressor into their live called nicotine.
However the stressor itself is very mild. We are aware of many physical stressor’s on our body, such as thirst or hunger. We can notice these physical stressor’s for prolonged periods of time and not even care that much about them.
As the nicotine leaves the body it creates a similar stress to thirst or hunger. It is subtly and relatively mild. Once nicotine is totally expelled from the body the stress is then gone. And any physical effects caused by nicotine is ended. This occurs in as little as 4-7 days. This slight stress caused by nicotine is not to be confused with what people call a craving. The stress is a slight discomfort. A craving is the meaning placed upon that slight discomfort. It is a fabricated thought process that has been created over the years as a person continues to justify their smoking behavior. People who quit cold turkey and find it easy, interpret the stressor as an annoyance that will soon be gone. Those that go through cravings, place a greater importance upon the feeling.
Say you are a builder and you are out in the sun, it is a hot day and are working high up on a two story home. You may notice you become hot and thirsty. Although you notice the stressor (thirst), but because it would require some effort to climb down the scaffolding, you can’t be bothered doing much about it, plus you have heaps of work to get completed and decide to wait to lunch time. At lunch time you get called away, to run an errand, you are running late over your lunch break, race back to work and straight back up the scaffolding. You forgot to have a drink and notice that you are now quite thirsty. The throat dry and parched. However you can’t be bothered climbing back down and instead get straight back into the work. Later that evening you arrive home, sit down, and suddenly realize how thirsty you are. You go have a drink of water.
Say you are driving along an empty desert road with a group of people. It is a hot day And the car breaks down. Hours pass. Not a single car comes by. You notice you are thirsty. There is nothing to do but wait. And the longer you wait the more you notice you are thirsty, and the sun and the heat, and the absences of other cars. And the dry feeling at the back of the throat. You have no idea when someone will come past. Someone else has a drink bottle but they are not sharing. You begin to worry about how you’ll get more water. It is late afternoon, no cars. You are still stuck. So thirsty. So desperately wanting a drink. Some people are becoming angry, beginning to panic. You so badly need a drink of water. That evening a bus comes past. Suddenly you are relived, excited, you forget about your thirst and can’t wait to get home.
The actual physical sensation of thirst for the builder and the person stranded on the side of the road is exactly the same. However the meaning stressor conveys is different and while the builder is busy and has little time to reflect on the feeling of the stressor(thirst). The person doing nothing, but waiting has plenty of time to just think and contemplate the stressor called thirst which in turns makes it worse.
People who find it easy to quit going cold turkey
Have come to the conclusion, that smoking does nothing for them. Is boring. And the only reason they smoke is to relive a stressor caused by nicotine. They understand this stressor is very mild. Over the first two weeks once the cigarettes are thrown away, they keep themselves busy and occupied. When busy you don’t have time to notice slight physical stressor’s. They understand the thought cigarette, is just that, a thought. People have thousands of thoughts many times a day and don’t do much about them. Cravings are about you. Not the cigarette. They are the value you still place upon them. Take time to go over what you believe that cigarette actually means to you. Or what a craving means to you.
You can use the so what method for this. Each time you make a statement about a cigarette you simple go So What? You continue to do this until you arrive at another conclusion. ‘So what’ refers to So what does that actually mean.
For example. “I want a cigarette”. So what? “Well it would make me feel relaxed”. So what? “It would mean I could take a break from work”. So what? Well then I would be less stressed.” So what? etc etc
Example 2 “I have a craving”. So what? ” It is uncomfortable”. So what? This process takes you from the behavior you have been doing to the actually meaning you have placed upon it.
In part 3 of the series in quitting cold turkey, we look at the second pitfall that has people going back for cigarettes. Using cigarettes as a distraction.

In addition, some other falls when the child is growing up and tries to walk, will result in a micro-trauma of the individual’s brain stem. When the stem of the brain is resilient, it has some limits and while those limits are touched, micro swelling might occur. This might then begin to infect the vital nerve tissues slowly which the person possesses.Stress symptoms can occur in both the physical body and psychologically.

The main type of stress that you can think about is the stress faced by people at work, everyone faces some kind of stress. The only thing that differs from person to person is the amount of stress that is faced. This could be because of the difference in the type of work being done or it could be because of the type of person they are, stress is a part and parcel of everyday life.
The types of stress that you face can be due to the pressure of performance, a desire to do well, stress due to deadline.

How To Go About Managing Stress In Your Life
Tuesday, February 9th, 2010There are two ways of managing stress in your life: taking your mind off your problems, and dealing with your problems directly. You must use both of these methods to have a happy and normal life; everybody uses these tactics to manage stress, probably without realizing it, but a closer look can help you to decide how to balance these strategies to stay as relaxed as possible.
It is absolutely necessary to find something that helps you to relax and take your mind off your problems. This can something as simple as just watching television, reading a book or playing video games.
However, many experts also recommend exercise as a stress relief tool. Not only does exercise give you something to focus on, it causes your brain to release certain chemicals that make you feel happy and better about yourself.
It can also provide a healthy outlet for aggressive energy that builds up in all of us. Getting a hobby is also an excellent way to relieve stress. What you do to relax is not nearly as important as doing something that relieves you of the worries you accumulate throughout the day.
It is not even required that you completely remove yourself from whatever issues are bothering you. Many people will examine their problems and find ways to deal with them as they are working out or enjoying their hobbies. However, at some point you do need to forget about your worries and just enjoy yourself.
Avoiding settling an issue or problem will only increase the stress level you’ll feel about the situation. Over time, problems tend to increase in size, often augmented by our own perception that is usually blown out of proportion.
Dealing with situations as they occur instead of putting them to one side, even to avoid feeling uncomfortable or resolving something unpleasant, only leads to more stress down the road. The best way to get a problem off your mind is to solve it once and for all. Making a plan about how you’d like to deal with the situation can often help ease the tension you feel and help you resolve the issue more efficiently.
There will always be something in your life that is going to cause stress. It’s impossible to eliminate all stress, but you shouldn’t be spending all your time trying to solve your problems.
Of course, you can’t escape all your problem, so finding a way to try and balance problem-solving with coping, as well as settling into routines of things to do that keep you feeling relaxed, will go a long way towards making life more enjoyable.
The Good News About Stress Management: How “good” Stress Keeps Us Going & Growing
Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010Every health and lifestyle magazine contains articles claiming stress is bad for us. They list dozens of ways to relieve stress, from exercise to eating healthy foods. A wide range of relaxation techniques have also been proven to help manage stress in our crazy-busy world, especially for people who take care of others and tend to neglect themselves. But stress is not always as bad as these cautionary articles insist. In fact, some stress is actually necessary to keep us going and growing. Our individual responses to different types and levels of stress can either drain or energize us. It is how we perceive and process both ongoing and unexpected stressors that intensifies or reduces their impact on our bodies, minds and emotions.The term “stress” was first used in the mid-1950s by endocrinologist Dr. Hans Selye in his book “The Stress of Life.” In his research experiments, Selye discovered that we experience stress not only when we hear bad news but also when we receive good news. He differentiated these two types of stressors by calling negative stress “distress” and positive stress “eustress” (the Greek prefix “eu” means well or good). The idea that we naturally feel stressed by positive experiences — like getting married, having a baby, graduations, promotions, winning awards or races — is echoed in the Social Readjustment Ratings Scale. Devised by University of Washington medical researchers Holmes and Rahe, the SRRS ranks the impact of good stress-events as well as bad stressors like death, divorce or losing a job. They discovered it is the accumulation of minor plus major changes over a period of time that increases one’s chances of developing stress-related ailments like heart disease, cancer or a weakened immune system. Stress effects also intensify when several changes occur without enough time between them to recharge our physical and mental resources. When dealing with normal life changes, Holmes and Rahe also concluded that a single event is rarely stressful enough to cause significant illness if we have some control over the situation and are able to view it as a challenge or opportunity instead of a threat. So stress is not always bad or unhealthy. It can actually keep us from becoming complacent or staying too long in jobs, relationships or environments which are not good for us. When bad stress builds to the “breaking point,” it usually forces us to make choices and change our behavior or environment with positive and healthier results.Stress is also necessary to keep us moving forward while working toward a goal — like a creative or business project — or training for athletic events like championship games or marathons. This type of eustress prevents us from slowing down or giving up too soon and helps us build momentum in the early stages to empower us to reach the “finish line.” So positive stress management can actually give us a Competitive Edge via increased focus and drive. As we move forward on what researchers call the Performance Stress Curve, eustress helps us make choices, take actions and communicate more clearly.When it comes to managing stress, there are two basic approaches: Defensive or Offensive. If we take a Defensive approach, we subconsciously distort reality by hoping the situation will change without having to do anything about it. But this keeps us in a state of denial and often amplifies the internal impact of distress, contributing to disease or depression.Taking an Offensive approach, however, enables us to manage stress by using it to our advantage. By consciously changing or adapting, we adjust to life-changes organically and can view things in perspective that at first feel like problems. Then we can reframe these “problems” as opportunities or challenges and take appropriate action. Offensive ways to manage stress include:1.Changing our situation whenever possible2.Increasing our ability to cope with the situation as it is3.Changing our perception so the situation looks and feels different 4.Changing our behavior, as this is truly where we have the most controlWhenever we feel stressed, it can be useful to first determine whether it’s Distress or Eustress. Then we can decide whether to become Offensive by utilizing or adjusting it, or remain Defensive and wait to see if the situation changes on its own. Sometimes choosing to live with stress is appropriate, like when it energizes our Competitive Edge. We can also balance our stress levels to avoid being thrown off-center too easily or often. Ongoing stress management techniques for creating balance include sleeping well, eating healthy foods, exercising, meditating &/or focusing on the positive things in our lives. These are simple and inexpensive ways to relieve pressure, especially when we’re faced with unexpected events or must manage stress over a long period of time.While the bad news is that it’s nearly impossible to avoid stress in our crazy-busy world, the good news is that using stress management techniques and being mindful can actually make stress empowering instead of draining. This puts us in control of the stressors in our lives so they can’t stop us from continuing to go forward and grow more joyfully empowered every day.
