on stress is familiar to most of us, the good news about stress is rarely heard.

Deborah Kotz, a great article in the news U.S. and World Report June 5, 2008, tells of a businessman who feels his heart race in a good way every time he thought about his increased profits research firm in equity, or in a bad way when faced with deadlines for the projects he knew he could not do. It was probably used for such tensions, until her daughter is facing a life threatening case of anorexia. Then she learned a new perspective on the stress of his daughter. He learned how to adrenaline, actually improving the performance and overall health by improving blood flow to the brain and boost your immune system.

According to the American Psychological Association survey, 50% of respondents say their stress level has increased over the past five years and 30% routinely experience extreme agitation. It is estimated that 50-80% of people who develop clinical depression have faced several major life stress events – divorce, job loss, Chronic were twice more likely to have another heart attack than those not chronically stressed. Similarly, studies have shown that Chronically elevated levels of stress hormones lead to more colds and infections and autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis.

In an article by Susan Berfield in BusinessWeek, citing an investigation by the Center for Work-Life Policy is causing changes in attitudes and behavior of employees are working in organizations.

Now the good news about stress.

Research conducted by Dr. Suzanne Segerstrom and Dr Gregory Miller published in the journal a speech, may strengthen the body's immune system by activating the immune system-boosting "fight or flight" instinct that goes back to when primitive man was threatened by predators. Researchers at the University of Texas recently found that people who engage in the difficult creative work enjoy better health equivalent to being 7 years younger.

Esther Sternberg, a researcher at the National Institute of Health and author of The Balance Within: The Science Connecting Health and Emotions, said that not all stress is harmful, but it is important that our emotional and physiological system connected positively – it is a matter of calibration. She joins a number of researchers and experts to the problems must also be addressed.

Robert Rosen, author of Just Anxiety Hayes, whose work I outlined in my August 3, 2009 National Post article, why do not I feel better. to feel they are in control of their lives. How much control do you have in your life? Neuro Linguistics (NLP) experts argue that you need to take Why some people become stressed and others not in the events of life itself?

Experts and Sternberg and Hayes say that people can manage stress better, constantly checking your email or Blackberry. Like Bob Newhart in his famous video therapist would say, "just stop it!" Make the decision longer blocks of time reviewing significant. This amounts to a conscious decision to control its for a charity (note here: just giving money proper operating condition. Being bored with virtually no stress or being overwhelmed with stress are the two ends of the spectrum.

Other known stress cooping and reduction strategy is regular exercise. A 2007 study published in the journal Psychosomatic Medicine found that people who make Exercise at least 2-3 times per week had a smaller increase in blood pressure, heart rate and stress hormones. Exercise releases the "feel good" endorphins in the brain, one of which is enkephalin, which prevents the release of excessively high levels of adrenaline and cortisol. Finally, any treatment activates your brain's pleasure centers – a massage, a piece of chocolate, a funny movie, sexual activity – can reduce their stress levels.

What about the workplace? The Center for Work-Life Policy study cited the behavior of managers as employees from the stresses of the economic slowdown, including things as simple as regular recognition, allows employees to volunteer during work hours, and regular town hall style meetings to discuss the evolution of the company. And instead of immediately going to the layoffs, the best practices leaders use shortened weeks work for everyone, the unpaid sabbaticals, job sharing and other creative alternatives to demonstrate their care for people.

So it seems that stress can not be so bad after all. The reality is that stress will always exist in our individual lives and in organizations. It would be much more productive for people to rethink focus on stress, and develop strategies that focus on balance to accept what can not be controlled About the Author
