Signals of Stress - What does they tell? How to avoid?
73Falling into the trap...
We shouldn't fall into the trap giving the
fault to the stress when the signs of disturbance are showing up on different levels
of our being. We are the only ones who are causing the stress and not outside
conditions or situations or people.
It is our specific personal attitude when confronting outside happenings, that is
causing our stress reactions. It is our 'program' running in our unconscious
background that triggers these 'tense reactions', showing up in body, mind and
emotions. That is felt as 'stress' and the most serious is, that this
tension accumulates and then brings our whole system out of balance.
We are trying to help ourselves with what is offered in our society to calm us down or give us a boost. Nicotine, alcohol, coffee, cocaine and more are available and used as a common way. The side effects are known, but easily ignored...
The stress continues, even stronger, because our system has to deal with all the poison we are putting into our body. Then serious symptoms are showing up: Pain in muscles, malfunction of organs, loss of memory, weird thoughts, depressions and so on. Of course we want to get rid of this as fast as possible and our established health system serves us the best possible with all kind of medication and if these don't help any more then surgery will do it.
Is it not obvious, that there is some thing completely wrong? Probably every body knows this, but all are trapped in an established system that is ruled by money and the power of people who found their sense and the meaning for their existence in this system. The mass of people just follows without questioning any thing. That's what it is... and has formed our habits, attitudes, world view, our self image, our goals, our dreams, our beliefs and all the concepts we have gathered and are part of our personality.
How can we get out of this trap?
Stress accumulates and so is the first step that ones system gets out
of balance, - with the result of all kind of disturbance on all levels:
Body, mind and emotions.
To deal with ones stress it is not just about 'Stress
Management', it should be better known why stress builds up and how
this could be avoided. There is little information about it available.
(I will write a new hub about it soon.)
It is important not to let it happen that stress accumulates too much and that one can release it before.
There is an easy way to do this what I call: 'StressReleaseExercise' and I have made a hub about it: http://hubpages.com/hub/StressReleaseExercise
There is also a video connected to the hub and you can practise the exercise immediately.
If there should show up any difficulty, then you can ask me for advice. (No money involved!)

My understanding of stress is that it is an overload of mental activity. When the mind is juggling too many variables it loses its balance and shuts down. Too many decisions, too many choices and the mind goes wild trying to make the right one, always fearing the worst.
Too much thinking produces stress. The remedy is to simplify life, not make it more complicated. Our senses are overstimulated and we must cool down or the inevitable breakdowns will occur. To simply be without self-interest; what a luxury!
