Stress Gone Wild!

 

By Ruth Mansmith MS, RN, CRRN, RAC-C

Author, national speaker, wellness coach

This month, I am sharing the key points of a successful stress-management workshop I present around the country. These key points will give you information to stop the effects of stress before it affects your health. We all need to be reminded periodically to manage our stressors. Our health depends on it.

 

The holiday season is upon us and our stress level may increase along with the festivities. Let’s take a look at the causes of stress, how stress affects your health and action steps you can take today.

 

Facts About Stress

  • Stress is a part of life
  • We cannot avoid stress
  • Stress is ANY CHANGE you must face
  • Not all stress is bad
  • Stress is essential to life

 

There are two types of stress: Bad Stress and Good Stress

Several examples of good stress are:

  • Getting a promotion
  • Having a good workout
  • Watching a beautiful sunset

Bad stressors are anything considered dangerous, unfair or painful. What might seem like bad stress to you, might seem uneventful to your neighbor. Attitude plays a key role.

 

Sources of Stress

Stressors spring from four areas:

  1. Environment
  2. Social
  3. Physiological
  4. Thoughts

Several examples of environmental stressors are the weather, pollens, noise, traffic and pollution. With proper planning, these stressors can be managed. Grab a jacket, take a sinus pill, use ear plugs and drive on a less-busy highway.

 

Social stressors are a bit more difficult to manage. . Here are several examples of social stressors: deadlines, financial problems, job interviews, presentations, disagreements, demands for your time and the loss of a loved one.

 

Examples of physiological stressor are: menopause, illness, aging, lack of exercise, poor nutrition and inadequate sleep

 

Thoughts, the fourth source of stress, are a powerful agents. Your brain interprets changes in your life and determines when to stress you out.

 

Chronic Stress

Chronic stress is persistent stress. It develops when the stressors of life are unrelenting, such as a divorce or ongoing work problems.

However, little things can add up and amount to chronic stress. This happens when too many small disagreeable things pile up and you do not have time to recover before the next one occurs.

Remember, if your mind thinks it is stress, it is! No matter what anyone else thinks.

“Stress appraisal is personal.”

 

Stress Can Damage Your Body

Stress will pick a favorite body system and wreck havoc:

  • Skeletal-muscular
  • Cardiovascular
  • Gastro-intestinal
  • Reproduction
  • Respiratory-lungs
  • Insulin production
  • Etc.

For example, stress can cause muscular tension, resulting in neck pain. Stress can make you feel tired and fatigued. It can cause migraine headaches, ulcers, chronic diarrhea or constipation. Stress can suspend tissue repair, inhibit the immune system, make you more susceptible to colds and flu, and even exacerbate serious conditions such as cancer, AIDS, arthritis and depression.

 

Stress Buster

I call this exercise, the art of the sigh. It is quick, easy and effective. Anyone can do it, anywhere, anytime. Here’s how:

  1. Sit or stand up straight
  2. Sigh deeply while letting out a sound of deep relief
  3. Allow natural inhalation
  4. Do 8-12 times

Practice this breathing exercise within the first three minutes of a stress attack.

December, 2010 – Planning Ahead for Holiday Safety

Pet Talk

 

Planning Ahead for Holiday SafetyFrances Goodman

 

By Frances Goodman

 

 

‘Tis the season for parties, family gatherings and holiday feasts! But it’s also a time to be especially aware of pet safety.

Risks are a little higher as guests come and go, rich foods are served and tempting decorations are within paws’ reach. Ribbons and paper seem like great playthings, but if ingested they can cause serious intestinal blockage.

Here are some safety checkpoints for all pet lovers to keep in mind during this festive time of year:

The Tree – Be sure the holiday tree is securely anchored, and won’t tip or fall if pets get playful on it or under it. Be especially sure pets can’t access the tree water, which may contain toxic fertilizers and will harbor bacteria when it becomes stagnant.

The Tinsel— Kitties and playful pups love this sparkly “toy” that’s easy to bat around and carry in their mouths. Icicles are tempting, too, due to their resemblance to grass. But a nibble can lead to a swallow, which can lead to an obstructed digestive tract and emergency surgery. With pets in the family, it’s best to decorate with something other than tinsel and icicles.

The Drinks — If you’re serving cocktails, be sure pets cannot gain access to them. Ingestion of alcoholic beverages can be extremely dangerous, even fatal.

The Flowers — Lilies, which are popular in bouquets and as gifts at this time of year, are extremely toxic to cats if ingested. And cats are naturally tempted to nibble on greenery and flowers.

The Feasting — By now most pet lovers know not to feed pets chocolate or anything sweetened with xylitol. But pets can still put themselves at risk by scarfing holiday food from unattended plates or open garbage cans. Sweets, fatty and spicy foods, as well as bones, can cause serious intestinal problems. Prevention is the key!

The Presents – Puppy and kitty love says we must not put presents containing food or candy under the tree, even if they seem to be securely boxed and wrapped. Paper and cardboard are no match for a determined pet, and sensitive noses can tell exactly what’s inside the bright package. Gorging on the candy or goodies when no one is near can have a tragic result, or at best an expensive one, after the vet bills.

Here are some more holiday safety reminders, compliments of the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA):

Pet Gifts – Be sure to choose toys and treats that are safe. Stick with chew toys that are basically indestructible. The most risky toys for cats involve ribbon, yarn and loose little parts that can get stuck in the intestines, often resulting in the need for surgery. Consider a stuffed catnip toy or the interactive cat dancer toy, all for use under supervision.

(And your PetTalk columnist recommends avoiding treats made in China, especially chicken jerky, which has a history of causing health problems for pets.)

Mistletoe and Holly—Both, if ingested, can cause gastrointestinal upset. Mistletoe can also cause cardiovascular problems.

Candles – Don’t leave them unattended. Pets as well as kids are at risk for burning themselves or causing a fire. A good rule of thumb: If you leave the room put the candle out.

Wires, Batteries and Ornaments – Playing with these can result in shocks, burns or injury to the mouth.

House Rules – When you have guests, be sure they know the rules: Petting or play sessions are fine, but no treats or food.

Meds — Remind guests to keep their medicines zipped up and packed away from curious pets.

A Room of Their Own — Give your pet his own quiet space to retreat to — complete with fresh water and a place to snuggle. Shy pups and cats might want to hide out under a piece of furniture, in their crate or in a separate room away from the hubbub.

Now we are prepared for safe and happy holidays! Best wishes of the season to you and your pets!

December, 2010 – Acknowledge Accomplishments for More Joy and Success Next Year

Ultimate Productivity

 

Acknowledge Accomplishments for More Joy and Success Next YearClaudine Motto

 

By Claudine Motto

 

If you’re an entrepreneur, chances are that some time around November or December, you start to feel as if you need to make up for lost time, and you may even feel guilt about what you didn’t get done or about what you could have done differently in your business during the year.

 

Some pressure, and even some guilt, is good, because it can kick you into high gear.  But too much of either one will engulf you, and hurt your productivity and your spirits.   

 

A more effective and uplifting way to end the year and to begin planning for the next one is to acknowledge not only what needs to change and what didn’t work, but also to acknowledge all that you did “right.”  Remembering the positive and acknowledging your accomplishments will better motivate you, and for a longer period of time, than beating yourself up.  Plus, you deserve better – you are probably already too hard on yourself.

 

So here are 9 questions to start formulating your business action plan for the upcoming year that will help you keep a healthy balance between the “should have dones” and the “dones”:

 

Changes you need to make

 

1. What are the 3 areas where you want to see the most change next year?

2. Which “comfort zones” might you need to step out of to make these changes?

3. Where do you need to take more consistent action next year?

 

Acknowledging what worked 

 

1. What did you improve on from the year before?  Take the time to pat yourself on the back for that.

2. In which ways did you step out of your comfort zone? Don’t forget to include things that seem small on the surface, even if it something that comes easy to other people – if you felt scared to do it, but you did it anyway, it counts.  

3. Which actions did you take that took effort, persistence, and self-discipline on your part?  Even if they didn’t have the impact you were hoping they would have, your effort deserves recognition.

4. What 3 accomplishments are you most proud of?

 

Acknowledging new skills and awareness

 

1. What things did you work on or improve about yourself?  You ARE your business – don’t diminish the impact of self-development on everything that you do.

2. Did you learn any new technology, or acquire any new skills?  Even if small, if they save you and your business time and/or money, congratulate yourself for investing in it.

 

I bet as you go through this list you’ll surprise yourself with all that you accomplished, which is a great motivator in itself.  But this list also serves as a reminder of the strategies that brought you results in your business, so you can continue to build momentum on what works.

 

Focusing your plans for next year only on areas where you need to improve leads to burnout – take the time to acknowledge where you shined, and what you did right, so that you stay positive and motivated – both key to achieving long-lasting success and feeling joy in the process.

December, 2010 – 12 Days of Christmas

Lighten Up with LisaLisa Dawn Wax

 

12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS AS SUNG BY LIGHTWORKER LISA

 

By Lisa Dawn Wax

 

How did December get here so soon? I can’t believe another whole year has passed and we are back to the hustle and bustle of the holiday season. It seems like just yesterday that I was writing last year’s holiday column, Tis the season for Magic, Miracles and Marshmallows!  This year I decided to give you the gift that keeps on giving, a summary of 2010’s Lighten Up with Lisa highlights as my version of the 12 Days of Christmas. Incidentally, for Hanukkah, please feel free to use the first 8 or any 8 of your choice.

 

Put your song caps on and sing along. It will sound much better if you do.

 

On the first day of Christmas Lightworker Lisa gave to me, a New Year column on how to manifest a happy destiny. In January I wrote Lightworker Lisa’s Boot Camp for Happiness to help with the resolution of manifesting your dreams and desires.

 

On the second day of Christmas Lightworker Lisa gave to me, the 5 basic principles of Reiki. In February I wrote about Divine Universal Love and the importance to love yourself as well as your neighbor. I shared lessons from Reiki teachings as well as a poem by Louise Hay about our infinite well of love burning within.

 

On the third day of Christmas Lightworker Lisa gave to me, the blessings of springtime, rebirth, renewal and days that are sunny. March’s column captured the essence of the spring holidays of Passover, Easter and the vernal equinox with the opportunity for salvation and forging ahead.

 

On the fourth day of Christmas Lightworker Lisa gave to me, inspirations of balance, faith and courage to take along on a new journey. In my first Q&A format column I answered a reader’s question of how to start over following a divorce. When you’re at the bottom the only way to go is up!

 

On the fifth day of Christmas Lightworker Lisa gave to me, suggestions to inspire connection, sexiness and intimacy. In response to a reader’s question of “how to get the spark back” I talked about quality time and how to spice it up.

 

On the sixth day of Christmas Lightworker Lisa gave to me, steps to understand our humanity with Dr. Maslow’s chart of needs in an hierarchy. June’s column took a humanistic psychological approach to motivation and happiness with a guided approach to Self-Actualization.

 

On the seventh day of Christmas Lightworker Lisa gave to me, the importance of compassion and empathy.  In another Q&A format I responded to a reader’s question of what to say to a depressed friend when you’re simply at a loss for words. Sometimes a hug really is the best medicine.

 

On the eighth day of Christmas Lightworker Lisa gave to me, the same as the 7th as we combined July and August for simplicity, lucky me.

 

On the ninth day of Christmas Lightworker Lisa gave to me, lessons of Time and its divinity. Since it doesn’t always feel like Time is on our side, I pointed out a few positives and the lessons we can learn from Patience and Divine Timing.

 

On the tenth day of Christmas Lightworker Lisa gave to me, rules for relationships and loving others, you and me. Through Acceptance, Tolerance, Patience and Growth we can better understand how to love one another and also be reminded to love ourselves. 

 

On the eleventh day of Christmas Lightworker Lisa gave to me, an article on Judgment and how to simply love uncritically. Quoting Mother Teresa, Jesus, Michael Jackson and a Jewish proverb, I summarize the irrational basis of most judgments and paraphrase a familiar quote stating, “that if you love people, there is no time to judge them.”

 

On the twelfth day of Christmas Lightworker Lisa gave to me, a whole year of divine presents sung joyously in summary. In addition I vow to continue to bring you more inspiration, more lessons, more comfort, more understanding with an exciting new year ahead.

Until next time, may your HOLIDAYS be brighter and your lives be lighter.

Lightworker Lisa

 

Let me ignite the light in your life!

 

A Lightworker is someone with an innate ability to know and heal.  Lightworkers believe it is their divine mission or higher purpose to write, teach or counsel others about spiritual teachings.  Lightworkers are souls who volunteered, before birth, to help people learn about love and heal from the effects of fear. Lisa Dawn Wax, aka Lightworker Lisa is a born Lightworker, certified Angel Healing Practitioner and Reiki Master Practitioner; all of which basically confirm her intuitive abilities to help, heal and teach. Using reiki (energy healing), guided meditations, divine messages and intuitive readings, she has helped many people to identify the source of their pain, clarify current life situations, and successfully redirect their focus into positive channels.  If you are in need of affordable healing and life coaching with immediate results, call her at 561-594-3948 or visit her website www.lightworkerlisa.com.

December, 2010 – The Holidays are Here

The Holidays are Here – Now What?

 

By Krista Martinelli

 

 

So the holidays are officially here, and you might be wondering what local attractions and traditions are worth bringing the whole family to. Here are a few things that we have enjoyed and/ or plan to do again this year. Local parents, please feel free to email me with further holiday “things to do” that you would like to recommend too. Bear in mind that my children are five and three years old.

A fun holiday place to visit is Hoffman’s Chocolate Factory, Shop and Gardens in Greenacres (5190 Lake Worth Road). You can take a walk through their woods and see a lot of light-up Christmas decorations, see an outdoor toy railroad set and (on certain evenings) meet Mr. and Mrs. Santa. You can’t get away without stopping inside the chocolate factory and shop, so just prepare ahead. Warning: you will be eating some very good chocolate if you go there. Probably lots of it.

Our Neighborhood Santa and Mrs. Santa
Our Neighborhood Santa and Mrs. Santa

In my neighborhood we have had a visit from Santa on a fire truck in past years and we look forward to it again this year. If you have a bunch of young kids in your neighborhood and have the time to organize it, it’s a great tradition. It turns out to be an affordable one too, if you can get about ten families to chip in. Santa visits and each child takes a turn on his lap. And he hands out an early gift to each child. Each family brings an appetizer. As a result, we get to spend some quality time with our neighbors and get to know everyone a little better.

If you want another visit with Santa, you can visit him at the Mall at Wellington Green. We always do, getting mixed reactions from our children each year. Actually, this year we were two for two (two smiling children).  Family photos with Santa are happening up until December 24th, and you can visit the Mall’s website for the schedule.  This year’s theme is ‘The Chronicles of Narnia.” Meanwhile, if you’d like to get a Santa photo with your pet, stop by the Mall on December 5th between 6:30pm – 8:30pm. Details . . .

A new tradition begins this year in Wellington, WinterFest on December 4th from 4pm to 8pm. Bring a new unwrapped toy for Toys for Tots. Enjoy crafts, shopping, an antique car show, a holiday tree lighting, celebrity emcee Vanilla Ice, refreshments and more! Visit www.WellingtonChamber.com for more info.

If you happen to live in Wellington, you’ve probably enjoyed that Annual Holiday parade in past years, which will be happening on Sunday, December 12 at 1pm. Get a good spot on Forest Hill Boulevard early on and you’ll be all set to see beautiful floats, marching bands, local dance troops and more. If you’re a runner or a walker, you might want to participate in the Mile Run/Walk at 12:45pm that same day, which precedes the parade. Families can also take advantage of the bounce houses, food and exhibits at the Holiday Fun Park, same day, from 10am to 5pm, all around the new Wellington Amphitheatre. Visit www.PalmsWest.com for more info on all of the events on this day.

Another place we like to visit just before Christmas is Playmobil FunPark in Palm Beach Gardens. Loads of toys to “test out,” only $1 admission price per person and always immaculately clean are just some of the benefits of visiting this play place with your young children. As they play with the different toys, you can usually get some good ideas for Christmas gifts – not to mention some good deals in their adjoining gift shop. Also check out the Playmobil Advent Calendars, a great holiday tradition for kids!

If you can come up with an extra day during all of the holiday parties and plans, aim for a trip down to Ikea. It’s always nice to get a few new affordable and stylish gifts for your home for the holidays, whether it’s furniture or just a few house wares. The kids have their own play place while you can shop. Don’t forget to sample the Swedish meatballs in the café.  And don’t forget to pick up a bottle or two of Glögg, a Swedish mulled wine that you add raisins and nuts to. If you want to celebrate Christmas like a Swede, Ikea has plenty of ideas for you.

It’s always good to remember those in need during the holidays too, even in the midst of all of the celebrating that you’ll be doing. It’s just plain good karma to give back to the community. If you’re a parent of young children, it’s a good way to get them started in thinking about giving back and making a habit of donating. Toys for Tots is always accessible, so we always try to buy a few toys to go into their bins. Here are some Toys for Tots events happening in our area too. 

Giving away your used, but good condition toys is a great holiday tradition too. As a mother, I’m so pleased to find that my kids can help in the decision-making process of which toys to donate to Goodwill. Don’t forget about Faith Farm too – for many of your other household items. Another great local charity organization is Palm Beach Harvest, which collects up food for those in need in Palm Beach County.

I hope that you have a joyful time during the holidays, including plenty of laughter and good food. I hope you also find some quiet time in the middle of the hectic quality that seems to come with this time of year to truly enjoy the people you love and spend time with them. Happy Holidays!

Giving thanks
for life’s many mysteries
the unexpected delight
of exploring each moment
in a new refreshing way
even though the day can present
itself a test
with some better than the rest. 
The clock ticks
no matter if we’ve made the grade,
but no matter what they say,
there’s no better time
to be alive.
