Articles for the ‘Self Help’ Category

Whether you travel often or just once in a while, you will agree that travelling is stressful. With escalating reports of the latest threat to travelers, especially air travelers, and the advent of the ‘security’ devices which leave little to the imagination, travelling has become ‘stress management’ hot topic.

So what is the solution?  Choosing not to travel is one however, during those long winter months, the vision of a warm beach and a cool beverage are just too enticing for this option. And certainly, family or business obligations all require us to travel within our global community in modern times. Therefore, the pertinent question is one of how we can offset the inevitable stresses typically encountered when planning for, and engaging in a trip.

Due to my extensive travels as an expert in stress management and it’s related aspects, be they ‘workplace stress management’ to ‘personal stress management strategies’,  I have learned how to remain calm and centered and minimized the ‘travel tantrums’ I see so many people having when things aren’t going their way! Factors such as long lines, bad weather, airline staff strikes in the midst of an itinerary, passport and visa issues, last minute changes at your destination, along with ungracious and outright rude and ignorant airline, immigration and customs personnel, all contribute to  making an otherwise enjoyable and even wonderful journey into a nightmare!

Whether you are a frequent flyer or spend too much time at border crossings, or an occasional traveler, let’s look at 7 key insights and tips on how stress management can help you to stay and keep calm and composed, regardless of the travel challenges you encounter.

1. Attitude is everything – this point is obvious yet if we understood and acted upon it, there would be no need for this article! Unfortunately, even though most of us ‘know better’, we do not necessarily ‘behave better’! For example, ask yourself how you how you behave when you are lined up at the airport and it isn’t moving as fast as you want it to, or when security decides to disassemble you or your things while doing their job. Do you take it personally and become rude and belligerent? Or do you recognize that it isn’t personal, and that even though it is frustrating, by choosing to remain calm and polite, your blood pressure will not sky rocket, and neither will the person you are dealing with get their back up and and further prolong the process. Recognize that by choosing the latter, you are acknowledging that you have no direct control over the situation, and that if your goal is to remain reach your destination feeling calm and happy, then you must remain non-reactive. The minute you ‘react’, you give your personal power away to that which you are reacting to, and suffer the consequences of feeling like a victim. So next time you find yourself in such a situation, remember to “Act, not React, and reward yourself by experiencing less stress while you maintain your composure and autonomy over your actions.
2. Plan your Packing – typically, life has a way of getting busier prior to an upcoming trip. I have often heard colleagues and friends speak about how just hours before their trip, or the night before leaving, they literally opened a suitcase and threw in stuff, prior to leaving for the airport. Sometimes, this works however often, you either under pack, or as is more common, you over pack. One simple way to ensure you pack appropriately to your specific travel needs is to  is to set out a suitcase in a convenient location and leave it open. Then whenever you pass by it, put something in it which you think you’ll need for the trip. Then, on the day before your trip, ‘unpack’ that which you will not need (we over pack by 50%), do a final check and shut and lock it up. I even move my suitcase near to the front door or even put it in the car the night before a trip. Thus, I leave home feeling organized and confident that I have not forgotten anything important.
3. Plan for your ‘onboard’ experience – this tip speaks to airline travel when you are enclosed in a metal tube, hurtling through space at over 500 miles per hour! At this point, you have very few options except to rely on others, often the service staff onboard, for your comfort. That is, unless you have anticipated and prepared. When I travel by air, here is what I do:
   1. I pack my own ‘snack’ pack. I find that having good, nutritious food with me protects me from the all to often, ‘Oh, we didn’t pack your special meal request’ situation, or the ‘We know this is a four hour flight but we don’t serve meals anymore’. And if your flight is delayed or you missed a connection, this can turn into a veritable nightmare. This is especially so if you, like me, have special dietary requirements (I’m a vegetarian). Therefore, I always pack nuts, fruit, sandwiches and the like to ensure that I don’t rely on the airlines to take care of my needs.
   2. Bring with you, especially on longer flights, ear plugs, eye covers and comfortable warm socks or footwear. These allow me to create my own little world within which I can get rested despite the noise around me, the bright cabin and outside lights, or the cold air conditioning. I also always layer my clothing as in some cases, the plane may be too warm. Keep these in a small pouch and in a drawer with other ‘travel’ necessities which will making remembering to pack them easy.
   3. Reduce Jet Lag – to maximize your enjoyment at your destination, make sure you drink lots of water on board. For every 1 hour of flying, you need 8 ounces of water to rehydrate. And if you are parking of the ‘free’ alcohol, you can double this. Also, a few days prior to a long trip, I start taking Melatonin, a naturally occurring substance in your body which helps your sleep cycles. In addition, I use a homeopathic product called “No Jetlag, which I have found highly effective in cutting back the degree of jetlag I experience.
   4. Remember to move – sitting for hours in one place is not what our bodies were designed for. So make yourself get up and move around, stretch and generally get the body circulation going at least every 2 hours. You can even do some exercises while in your seat. The point is to help your body function optimally to offset fatigue and even illness due to travel.
4. Preview your Destination Airport information – this is helpful in ensuring that you minimize any unwelcome surprises when you arrive at your destination airport. With the plethora of information on the internet, along with so many consumer forums, you can find out the layout of an airport, along with all the services available to you and the prices/payment methods/currencies. Taking 20 minutes to do this ahead of time will save you a lot of stress upon arrival.
5. Breathe! – finally, another obvious but often overlooked point is simply to ‘breathe’! By this, I suggest that you learn to observe your breathing patterns when stressed. If you are like me, your breathing speeds up and becomes shallow. This will not help you if you need to stay calm and centered. So next time this begins to happen, consciously slow down your breathing and make your breaths longer and deeper. When we are triggered, this is a difficult thing to catch and do as we are in our ‘reactive’ mode, however, with a solid resolve on your part to watch for this, over time, it can be mastered! And the first person to benefit from this will be YOU!

If you’re looking to be both enviornmentally friendly and look cute you should consider using the bare minerals make up line and the bare essentials makeup line.  Both of these products are easily absorbed by the skin and they work well with the body.  For the eyes, you should try the bare minerals eyeshadow.  Not only will you look great, but you’ll be doing the enviornment a world of good.

In part 1, we explored the stress factor and established that stress is a fact of life; that we must distinguish between positive and negative stresses and ultimately, learn how to reach our goals without compromising ourselves physically, mentally, emotionally or spiritually. Overall, realize that our physical bodies are amazing machines with literally thousands of processes at work at any given second. When these processes are harmonized, we feel well and are able to perform our duties with ease. However, the pressures of life in the modern age have created a huge instability, spawning a whole industry aimed at reestablishing ‘work-life’ balance – so called workplace stress management . I am constantly amazed at how well our bodies actually do, considering the abuses we put them through. In addition, recognize that along with our physical diet, it is equally important to examine our mental and emotional diets in terms of the negative and judgmental thoughts we indulge in daily. Add to these toxic emotions, and we have a recipe for an explosive meal, guaranteed to ultimately take you out!

While we shall examine the emotional aspects in part 3 of this series, let’s look at the next 3 Key insights on workplace stress management from a nutritional perspective.

3 Key Nutritional Insights about Handling Stress in the Work Place

1. Food Sense – I know that you know what I am going to share with you here, as all of us have been exposed to information about what we need to eat more, and less off. Being common sense, it should be a given yet, information or knowledge, without action, will never translate into anything meaningful in terms of results! So let this insight be a clear reminder that the quality of what you put inside this magnificent, one of a kind machine called the body, directly determines how well it works. Were we speaking about your BMW or Porsche, this point would be clearly understood, as we most often spend more time and energy taking care of our cars, then our own bodies.  Recognize that our eating habits have for the most part become ‘unconscious’. We respond to impulses and put denatured, overly processed and essentially lifeless ‘food’ into our mouths, and then wonder why we have no energy and are constantly stressed out! There is a tremendous amount of nutritional information available today to assist us in supporting our bodies to support us in handling life’s inevitable challenges. Yet it is clearly up to you to choose wisely!
2. Lights Out - a major ingredient of healthy, efficient and productive individuals is that they get enough sleep. Again, we all seem to ‘know’ this, yet we do not act according to our knowing. Having become a heavily ‘doing’ oriented culture, we are almost guilty about ‘sleeping’, whether it is enough or too much. Often, we sacrifice sleep in order to fit more activities into our lives, arguing that they are ‘essential’. For a time, our bodies compensate for this error in judgment but ultimately, it will not be able to keep up and crash. By design, we are on average meant to have 9.5 hours of sleep a night in order for our bodies to properly metabolize toxins and rebuild cells and tissues to keep us healthy and harmonized. And paradoxically, when we have had sufficient sleep, we become more efficient and get more done, in less time. Certainly, food for thought.
3. Exercise – along with the obvious fact that our bodies are machines which work best when moved or moving, realize that the type of movement and even the timing of movement are essential ingredients for proper exercise. Otherwise, exercise can create more stress, rather than decrease it. Latest research compiled by the National Health Institute of America, confirms that rigorous exercise must not be undertaken in the evening hours. This is because the body’s natural rhythm is to go into a calming, resting phase. Therefore, running or doing other highly stimulating exercise at that time puts you into a reverse cycle which impacts on your quality of sleep. The best exercise for the evening hours is anything which harmonizes and calms while still working out your muscles; exercises such as Tai Chi, Yoga and walking are excellent for this. Also be aware that you don’t do more harm than benefit when you choose an exercise such as running. If not properly learned and undertaken on the appropriate surface and in healthy environments (ie. Not running on concrete next to a busy thoroughfare), you can end up harming your body in the long term. This is because biologically, running is read by your body as an attempt to escape a predatory threat, which creates cortisol, a powerful hormone that ultimately, will harm rather than help the body.

In Part 3 of this series, we explore how our feelings and their corollary behaviors effect workplace stress levels.

Dealing with Guilt

Human as we are, we have faults and make mistakes. We harm other people deliberately or accidentally. We sometimes do not realize the need for the people around us in our everyday lives and frequently we feel guilty over it.

We have feelings of guilt for many reasons. We might feel guilty towards our partner. Failing to recall a specific and memorable day when the other spouse is prepared for it may cause feelings of shame and embarrassment.

We may feel guilty towards our kids. We may have promised them that we would go to one of the most important forthcoming football games he has, but then a crisis meeting was arranged at the office which we can’t break free from. Our child feels unloved and we feel so despondent knowing that there’s absolutely nothing we could do to substitute the importance of our being at his game.

We may feel guilty towards a member of the family. We may have declined calls and invitations from our mom who just misses our company and would every now and then want to see their son or daughter because she feels lonely.

We may feel guilty towards our close friends. We might not have been there through the occasions when they had a problem and needed a shoulder to cry on.

We may feel guilty towards ourself. We might not have confidence in our capabilities. We may not have given ourself the risk to try or discover the opportunity that await us. We may have thought that we are next to nothing in comparison to others.

Guilt typically starts to develop within us particularly when we believe we have done something wrong. The guilt feeling can serve as our watchdog to in some way tell us if we have harmed others as well as to remind us to change and correct our errors. In my own opinion, what’s more essential is the fact that we recognized our errors after feeling guilty and focus on methods to say i’m sorry as well as make up for what we might have done.

Life is to do with establishing priorities. You should note that while one attempts to, we can’t please everyone and we make errors along the way. Naturally, try to avoid making the same slip-up over and over again. Make the right decisions and learn to value the people along with the circumstances that have brought you to where you stand right now and have somehow shaped you to who you are today.

Nowadays, if you surf the Internet for Russian girls, you will come up with thousands of dating services and millions of pages showing beautiful women’s profiles longing to find men from different countries.

The first impression – it is like a sea teeming with fish. Just put your hand and get the prettiest one. But is that easy? Personally, I do not think so. And this view is backed by sufficient facts to prove it is correct.

Statistics say that 96 percent of the individuals who utilize online dating services do not succeed to find a right person with whom to have dating relationship. The major reason is because individuals approach online dating services with impractical expectations and are unprepared. When they do not find a great match after some time they give-up and try something else.

In spite of what all online dating services would like you to believe, your right match is not going to just fall into your lap one day. It takes consistent and careful screening, searching, and plenty of Russian girls to have communication with to increase your possibilities of success in online dating.

Keep your probabilities low key; do not set yourself up for failure by being too excited when you first see all the interesting profiles and pictures of beautiful women.

Disregard all the numerous stories that online dating agencies are propagating about marrying Russian girls. Yes, you could find a woman thirty years younger, and could marry her, but your marriage may not last for more than two years – the required time for getting a Green Card in USA.

However not all Russian girls are desperate to emigrate from Russia or to look for a husband from abroad. They are usually attractive, smart and well educated. And their goal isn’t always your country’s passport as you may think.

They instead seek a well-matched partner, and in Russia there are more single women than men so it is very difficult for them to find their ideal man to marry.  So they are prepared to look at marrying a foreigner if they think they can have a happy marriage and family life.

As with all single women anywhere else, Russian girls are also searching for financially secure, attractive, and healthy guys. None of them dream to be married to ugly men with health problems and bad character, struggling with everyday financial survival.

Those times have already passed, when some 5 to 10 years ago any foreign person could easily find in Russia a beautiful intelligent lady thirty years younger than them, who were willing to become their wife.

If you check some success love stories that took place more than five years ago, be careful of those rules that have no effect: the world has altered since then, and modern Russia is nothing like 10 years before. Make sure that the testimonials for success in online dating of their clients are current and from the last 12 months or so.

In Russia and in the Ukraine, there has been no time that the individuals who reside there, have not had to fight in some way for survival. So before moving on in your search for the perfect Russian girl; do know this, a Russian girl is more than likely NOT after you for your dollar value.

 

For instance, if you are a good person that does not have a lot of money, a Russian girl wouldn’t give you the cold shoulder, but she would put forth an effort to help you get through your situation. On the other hand, if you are jobless and without goals, Russian girls would rather not pursue a lifetime relationship with you because they are diligent in their careers.

 

Everyday, the online Russian dating sites are becoming more extensive to the people on the world wide web, that are on the hunt for their special someone. So, you should feel free to check out the Russian dating sites, they will help you get on the right path to finding your perfect girl.

 

Here are some guidelines you should follow when you are pursuing your online search for a Russian or Ukraine girl. Following these simple helpful hints will help you gain success!

 

1.) Decide which dating site makes you feel comfortable. Whichever site you choose, you should create a profile. Your profile should include honest answers and information.

 

Also, you should put *In Detail*; what you are looking for in a mate. Make sure to post a photo of yourself on your profile to enhance your possibility of finding an ideal Russian woman.

 

2.) “You Get What You Pay For”….with that quote in mind, you should be aware of signing up with a free agency if your heart is set on finding a lifetime partner. Reason being, free dating sites are usually nothing but people looking for a hook-up or even worse, those dirty scammers.

 

On the other hand, a dating site that requires you to purchase a membership should allow you access to their site for a trial period, before making you pay.

 

3.) For curiosities sake, e-mail the dating site asking the number of Russian and Ukraine girls that are subscribed to their site.

 

4.) Like any other website that requires personal information, you have to proceed with caution. Look into anti-scam sites and books that make you aware of the danger.

 

Look for the black-listed dating websites, these sites are operated by scam profilers from all over the world.

 

5.) Use the search engines to your advantage. They will grant you access to thousands of Russian dating websites, filled with Russian women seeking their perfect mate. Explore your choices before finalizing a subscription or membership.

 

Make sure to factor in the meeting location that would be suitable for both parties when the time comes to get to know any of the Russian women.

 

6.) To ensure that you dont get scammed, you should never put forth information to any of the girls or other members regarding your bank account. Nor, should you ever fund the girls directly.

 

If you are confronted by a Russian girl, asking you for money, or demanding that you pay for her passport and ticket, you will need to report her information to the website’s operators and an anti-scam site.

 

7.) Nothing says more than the first impression. When time comes for you to make contact with a Russian girl, keep these helpful hints in mind:

- Take the time to think about what your first e-mail will say. You dont want the Russian or Ukraine girl to think you have poor communication skills.

- Be the kind, respectful and caring person your mama taught you to be.

- Last but not least, please be honest! Honesty and trust are the requirements for a solid lifetime relationship with the Russian girl of your dreams.
