New Audio CD to Annihilate Stress for American Workers

Ash Fork, Arizona --December 6, 2007 Wayne F. Perkins, Stress Annihilator just released his new audio CD program titled, Annihilate Stress at Work.

A few years ago, the Integra Study found that 42% of workers have verbally abused another employee. Over 62% of employees suffer from pain resulting from stress on the job.

Recently a young man broke up with his girl friend. He then got fired from a fast food restaurant job. The young man then took off for a mall with an assault rifle and killed several people.

Stories like these are becoming more prevalent in the news. Stress is always associated with these stories because victims, perpetrators, and the informed news viewers, all experience stress as a result of the crimes.

The Annihilate Stress at Work Program is designed to reduce or eliminate stress at work.

The Relationship of Schadenfreude and Stress

Schadenfreude adds to your daily stress.

Do you have all the support you need from friends, associates, and loved ones?

I am going out on a limb here and say, I will bet you do not have all the support you need from friends, associates and loved ones. On the surface, people will talk about all the support they are getting from others; however in most cases this is just not true.

One major reason is a concept called schadenfreude.

What is schadenfreude?

Schadenfreude is a German word meaning “pleasure taken from someone else’s misfortune.” It derives from schaden, meaning “damage or harm,” and freude meaning “joy.”

From Answers.com I found some interesting facts about Schadenfreude.

The concept of schadenfreude is not uniquely German, however. Almost every language in Europe has a word with the same meaning. There are even words that have the same meaning in Greek and Arabic. “Som nam na, can be translated as “I am laughing at your bad luck,” in the native Thai language. Go so ha da, in Korean translates as one who is pleased about an event involving the misfortune of another.

Schadenfreude had been mentioned on the following television shows and movies:

Boston Legal, Sarah Silverman, Gigli, the Colbert Report, Two and a Half Men, and Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story.

On Boston Legal, one of the characters, Alan Shore, talked of an experiment that demonstrated that the pleasure centers of the brain are stimulated while experiencing schadenfreude. Endorphins kick in and people feel good, at least temporarily.

Why do people gossip? Because it makes them feel good!

Think about all of the reality shows on television. What keeps us entertained up until to the last two people competing? When you are watching America’s funniest videos, do you ever notice much of the humor is about people are falling off of horses or off of roof tops or other things that can create physical harm?

I love to watch Adam Sandler’s movies and the movies made starring some of his buddies. But have you ever noticed that there is always someone getting thrown to the ground, punched, or beat up in some way in those movies? Yet they are funny to me and many other people.

People respond to these movies because of the concept of Schadenfreude.

In almost any comedy today you see produced for television or the movies you will experience taking joy in the misfortune of others.

Where does stress fit into the concept of schadenfreude?

Stress, sometimes called “core stress” begins when your actions and your fundamental belief systems are in conflict.

For example: Your best friend asks you to take illegal drugs. Let us assume that your fundamental belief system is such that you would never take illegal drugs. However, this is your best friend, and you want to please your best friend. Whether you take the drugs or walk away from your friend, you will be experiencing stress, as your actions and belief systems came in conflict at the first insistence that you take drugs by your best friend.

Back in 1959, I was entering the 7th grade. In October of 1959, our physical education teacher, Mr. Zange, began class on the track located on Spain Field, outside of our junior high school.

Mr. Zange had set up low hurdles as his lesson for the day was to teach us how to run the hurdles.

At the same time he was setting up for class, I was just about ready to leave my house for school when my Mother cornered me and gave me a quick lesson to take with me to school.

She said, “Wayne, never laugh at someone else’s mistake.” “It is very unkind to make fun of people when they fail at something.” “By laughing at someone else’s mistake, you will end up making the same mistake.” “It all evens out in the end.”

As I got on the school bus that morning I thought about those words and I really didn’t know why she even mentioned that lesson to me. I figured this lesson must be important or she would not have made such a point to tell me just before I was getting on my school bus.

Once I arrived at Dundee Junior High School, I reported to Mr. Zange’s PE class. Once dressed, I went outside and Mr. Zange led us out to the track located around the football field. He told us to form a line and I lined up first. Behind me was my friend, “Bob.” Now Bob really is not his real name as I do not risk hurting his feelings as he is still alive.

Mr. Zange gave a quick demonstration on how to jump over the low hurdles. He asked me if I was ready to try it first and I thought it looked pretty easy so I said, “yes.”

Behind me, Bob was laughing, saying I would never be able to jump the low hurdle.

I ran and jumped and knocked over the hurdle. Bob was laughing so hard he was doubled over in hysterics. (Or schadenfreude as I will call it now)

I was embarrassed but I returned to the end of the line to get ready for a second try.

Now it was Bob’s turn to jump the hurdle.

At that moment I wanted to begin laughing. After all, I was 11 years old and that is what 11 year olds do. I should laugh at the expense of others, experience joy or pleasure from the misfortune of others. I could feel my endorphins beginning to kick in.

Just as I began to laugh at Bob, I remembered what my Mother said to me on the way to school. She said, “Wayne, never laugh at someone else’s mistake.” “It is very unkind to make fun of people when they fail at something.” “By laughing at someone else’s mistake, you will end up making the same mistake.” “It all evens out in the end.”

Now I actually had a frown on my face as Bob made his attempt over the low hurdle. Bob not only tripped over the hurdle but he fell so hard he broke his arm. His arm ended up being the most hideous thing I ever saw either before or since.

It was a compound fracture and his arm looked like the letter “Z.”

Mr. Zange, quickly came to Bob’s aid and carried him to the nurses office while they waited for an ambulance to take Bob to the emergency room.

I learned a lesson from my Mother about not practicing “schadenfreude.” It was a lesson well learned as Bob had a severe consequence as a result of the accident at school.

In society, we value being fair to others and we are told to support one another.

My belief system became one of not saying things to hurt another person, however I have said things both before and after this incident that have hurt other people. I have experienced schadenfreude, and thanks to my Mother, the stress associated with conflicts between my beliefs and my actions.


Schadenfreude Stress Annihilation Exercise:

Think about situations in your relationships where what you believe in differs from your actions? In what situations in your job do you experience “schadenfreude?” What television programs do you find examples of “schadenfreude?”

Do you understand how your stress can be elevated by actively participating in the situations involving schadenfreude?” Think about things you can do this week to lessen the effects of schadenfreude and the stress associated with your conflict of beliefs and actions.

1. What can you eliminate or avoid in regards to schadenfreude in your personal relationships?

2. What schadenfreude activities can you eliminate on your job?

3. What actions will you take in regards to watching television programs and movies?

If you are aware of schadenfreude, you can annihilate stress associated with this phenomenon.


Summary:

Schadenfreude or taking joy from the misfortune of others is common in many areas of your life. It sets you up for core stress because it creates conflict between your fundamental belief system and your actions. Reducing schadenfreude in your life will help you annihilate stress and propagate hope.

Stress/Hope Teeter/Totter

Stress/Hope Teeter/Totter

Achieving Goals and Building Hope Requires Stress Annihilation

Why do you want to annihilate stress? The best reason for annihilating stress is because when you are in a stressful situation, you lose hope. You lose focus on your goals. If you are a business professional responsible for bringing in new business, you may feel you want to give up.

Stress and hope sit at opposite ends of a teeter totter.

Do you remember when you where a small child playing on a playground at school. Many schools provided equipment for exercise. One of these pieces of equipment was a teeter totter. A teeter totter or seesaw as it is known in some places is simply a board balancing on a fulcrum with a place to sit at each end.

Two children sit on a teeter totter with the heaviest child sitting first in order for the lighter child to take a seat on the other end to balance out the load. They alternatively shift their weight to cause their seat on the teeter totter to go up and down.

Stress and hope work the same way as the two children conducting the balancing act on the teeter totter. Stress or fear as it is more accurately defined, and hope, or goals as it is more accurately portrayed, sit at opposite ends of the teeter totter.

As one end goes up the other end goes down. As stress increases its end goes higher in the air and hope goes down. As hope climbs higher in the air, stress goes down. Stress and fear are always opposing hope and goals.

It seems accurate that we need to annihilate stress and fear in order to elevate our hope and our goals.

I remember the movie the “Shawshank Redemption” where the wrongly imprisoned character, Andy, told the other inmates that hope was something no one could take away from you. He said “hope is a good thing, maybe the only thing.”

We begin our lives here on earth, knowing that we could die or be incapacitated at any moment. This is why stress or fear is always near the surface of our thoughts. The major thing that keeps us going is “hope;” hope for good health, hope for enjoyable relationships, hope for positive achievements and hope for enough money to pay for all of our desires.

To the degree that we can diminish stress and fear, we can elevate our goals and elevate hope. Is it difficult to keep hope alive while eliminating stress and fear? Yes it is difficult.

Fear is always appealing to our senses. Advertisers for example focus on our fears.

I remember an automobile commercial that started out by two guys arguing in the car and then an accident ensued. The two men were okay but shaken up visibly by the accident. Anyone watching the commercial can identify with the fear and stress associated with the accident.

Television newscasts focus on several fearful, stress causing events before they get to the sports news, business news or weather. Viewers become hooked on these stressful situations as they arrive home from work and while watching television.

Through all of our entertainment options we observe stress and fear. Words to incite fear are abundant in our spectator sports.

Think about the words and phrases you hear by sports commentators. Think about words and phrases like, “sudden death,” “elimination round,” “Yankees murder Red Sox,” “Spurs defeat Suns.”

The overwhelming majority of sports fans are affected by these terms because they are supporting “losing teams.” There is usually only one world champion in any given sport, meaning all of the rest of the sports fans “feel stress and the agony of defeat.” We experience the other end of the teeter totter as we lose hope.

Do you think we may carry some of this loss of hope into our jobs and our personal lives?

We are so used to being motivated by fear and stress that even our leisure time activities reflect it. Isn’t that a shame?

Always remember these statements: “When we are playing on the teeter totter, stress is at one end and hope is at the other end.” “We need to develop a quiet confidence to move our minds and bodies in the direction of hope.”

What is your ultimate goal? Where do you want to be in five years? If you could time travel to a place in your life five years from now and look back at today, what would you tell yourself about today. How important are the stressful situations you face right now in your life? Would today even be that important in your overall success? Five years into the future, would you still be thinking about your favorite sports teams’ loss of five years ago, or the price of gasoline?

Think about what life will be like five years into the future. Think about your victories, your goals and your hope.

The Teeter Totter Exercise:

Take three slow deep breaths. As you inhale slowly, breathe deeply from the bottom of your lungs. Before you exhale, hold your breath for a few moments and then exhale very slowly. Push all of the tension out of your lungs.

See yourself on the teeter totter flying higher in the air. Think about hope. Think about your specific goals and feel in your mind, your heart and your body that you have already achieved your goals.


Summary:

Stress and hope are constantly competing on your teeter totter of life. Stress always equals fear and hope always equals your goals. Use the teeter totter exercise daily and you will take a huge step to annihilate stress and propagate hope.

7 Ways to Annihilate Cell Phone Stress by Wayne Perkins

Every day we use cellular telephones. We place calls, text message, plan our day and receive calls on our cell phones.

We also observe other people walking down the street seemingly hard wired to their cell phones. Just go to in any restaurant in the United States, sit down for a quiet dinner, and you will soon be barraged by cell phone conversations. When you get up from you table to go to the restroom, you will hear other people in stalls talking on their cell phones.

Does this create more stress in your life? Yes it does.

Do people who are constantly on their cell phones experience more stress than those of us who are unplugged? I think so. They feel that they “have to” have their cell phones on at all times or they will miss out on something extremely important.

Your cell phone can be your biggest enemy in your war against stress or it can be your greatest ally.

In the midst of all of this cell phone stress and tension, I have created a program to enable you to annihilate stress with your cell phone.

Cell Phone Stress Annihilation Program

Most of the stress that we encounter during the day is core stress. Core stress is what occurs every time you “have to” do something rather than “want to do” something.

Example #1: “Tomorrow is Monday and I will “have to” go to work. Going to work is a “have to” or a core stress associated task.

Example #2: “Tomorrow our bonus checks are coming in.” “I want to go to work, tomorrow.” You may be going to the same job, however, since you are going to work to receive your bonus check, you have annihilated stress with your “want to” attitude rather than the “have to” attitude in example 1.

Back to the restaurant

Now you are back at the restaurant, sitting down and enjoying your dinner. You are treated to someone in a loud voice saying into his cell phone, “can you hear me now?”

Then in a littler louder voice he says, “Can you hear me now?”

You are on the receiving end of core stress. In fact you are the recipient of the cell phone user’s stress. You “have to” listen to this person’s voice. You wanted to sit down and eat at the restaurant. Your “want to” attitude now has changed, because of the fact that you “have to” listen to this loud person.

In order to change your attitude you must get back into the “want to” mindset. Yes, this is easier said then done, but you want to do this anyway.

Simply focus on your table your place setting and the people sitting with you and take three slow deep breaths. Now think to yourself, “I want to be at this restaurant.” “I am relaxing and I am in charge of my own attitude.” “It is up to me to have an enjoyable time here at the restaurant.”

You may want to remember that people who are hardwired to their cell phones are experiencing great amounts of stress. They fear failure in that they think that they will lose something of great value if they do not respond using their phones, and they feel rejection. They feel may feel they will lose someone of great importance whether that be a friend, a business associate or a potential client. Fear is what is driving these people to keep their phones in every part of their everyday lives.

Make sure you do not let these strangers’ fears become contagious. Keep breathing deeply and relaxing and enjoy your dinner.


How Can I Change the Way I React to My Cell Phone?

Cell phones like computers are here to stay. They come in handy for emergencies and represented our businesses and our lives “in a box.” (A very small box I might add)

You can change the way you react toward your cell phone and actually create one of the best tools for annihilating stress at the same time.


Cell Phone Stress Annihilation Exercise

My cell phone is manufactured by Samsung and is three years old. I use Verizon Wireless as my carrier.

I understand that many of you have the features I will talk about but many of you may not. You may find by experimenting that you have many additional features that will help you annihilate stress. All of you have some of the features that will turn your cell phone from a stress creating device into a stress annihilating tool.
I have found 7 features of my cell phone that will annihilate stress.


1. Your visual cell phone recognition: As you locate your cell phone visually on your desk, your night stand, or the front seat of your car, take a long slow deep breath like this.
Inhale slowly….hold it…now let it out. Let all of the tension to leave your body now.

Use your cell phone as an anchoring device for your deep breathing. Whenever you are in a stressful situation, breathing shallows. By practicing deep breathing each and every time your visually look at your cell phone, you will be annihilating any stress that may be lurking in your body at this time.

2. The next feature of the cell phone stress annihilator is located in your daily planner. Many cell phones include a planner that is used much like a palm pilot planner.

The first item located in my planner is a “to do list.” If you have located your planner enter the word “Breathe” as your top item on the list. After all, Dr. Andrew Weil the famous health doctor believes that deep breathing, at intervals several times a day is the best exercise you can do for both your mind and body. Let Dr Weil be our guide. If you are like me and have trouble spelling words with your little keypad, just type the letter “B” for “breathe.”

When you are using your cell phone, check your “to do” list and breathe.


3. Another feature of my cell phone planner is the “memo pad.” Here I can write the word “breathe” or include a “b” as well. This is a personal memo from me reminding me to breathe.

One thing I do for motivation rather than use breathe or b is I typed in the following words, “I believe in you, Butch.” Butch was my best friend and died shortly after he got out of the Marines about 30 years ago. I like to use the phrase as an affirmation that I can accomplish anything I want to accomplish. By entering in “I believe in you and putting his name it helps me feel I am not alone and Butch will help me enjoy my success.

Is there anyone in your life, a parent, grandparent, a favorite uncle or best friend who is not around anymore but you know in your heart would support your decisions? If so why not use your memory of them to help you annihilate stress?

4. Another feature of my cell phone is a “voice memo.” I can record up to 60 seconds on my voice memo. In 60 seconds I can give myself a little exercise in deep breathing or I can give myself a short motivational presentation. If you are in sales you may use it for your “elevator speech,” or what you say during your introductory call.

5. Voice Mail: If you need more than 60 seconds, you might call your voice mail and record your stress annihilation exercise or motivational speech in voice mail so you have to option to listen to it anytime you feel you need it.


6. Text messages. You can send text messages to anyone you desire including yourself. Why not text yourself a message, “Remember to breathe deeply and relax today?”

7. The main purpose of a cell phone is to call other people. For exercise number 7 in my cell phone stress annihilation program, as you dial your telephone and are waiting for it to make a connection, ring or as you wait for your call recipient to pick up or for the call to go into voice mail, take a long, slow deep breath and relax. Again, remember to breathe deeply as you begin you telephone conversation. You will find your mind sharp, alert and focused on your cell phone call. As you relax, you will find your memory more acute than it is when you are stressed.


Summary:

You can experience stress just by going to a nice restaurant at dinner time thanks to people who are using their cell phones and conversing in loud conversations. The lesson from this is that you can use your cell phone as a stress annihilation tool. You learned 7 ways to use your cell-phone as a successful stress annihilator. Use as many of these tips as you can daily and enjoy a more stress free life!

Tip 1 In Annihilating Stress at Work

The best tip I can give you in annihilation stress at work is to understand that if you do not actually own the business, than the job you are doing is not really "your job." It is just "a" job.

Too many people get so caught up in things they cannnot change about the company they work for. Every time a compensation program changes or their job description changes, they live through a great amount of stress.

The best way to avoid the stress is to avoid taking ownership for things you do not own. Understand that other people, the ones that actually own the business have the right to change anything they want including what they pay you, how many hours you work, and if they want to sell the company or move it 5000 miles away.

Enjoy "a" job and not "your" job and you will find yourself enjoying your job and annihilating job stress.

Stress and the Law of Attraction

Stress and the Law of Attraction


Everybody is talking today about the law of attraction. What is the law of attraction? In short the law of attraction states that “whatever we hold in our minds, our bodies begin moving toward the subject of what we are thinking.”

If you are thinking about going shopping for example, you begin to access the critical thought areas of the brain that involve comparison shopping. You begin planning the route you are going to take and the steps you need to take to make purchases. You are activating the law of attraction. Soon you will be shopping.

If you are a child thinking about playing baseball, the muscles you need to hit and throw a baseball are being activated, even before you set out to play on the baseball diamond. The law of attraction is activated as you move towards your goal of playing baseball for the day. Your mind and body are in complete harmony.

Stress and the law of attraction

When the thoughts triggering stress and more accurately, the effects of stress become firmly entrenched in our minds, the law of attraction is put into play. Whatever we had planned in our minds beforehand become a moot point. As we accept stress as our prevailing thought, our bodies move toward even more stress.

Why is this so? We are activating the law of attraction. We are moving toward a goal, and idea or a prevailing thought. Unfortunately, we are moving toward a harmful goal, but our minds and bodies are moving just the same. The effects of our stress become magnified as our bodies move to get in harmony with our minds.

What step can I take to eliminate stress while using the law of attraction?

The biggest step you can take to eliminate stress is to take its active power away. How you do that is to defeat the effects of stress before they have a chance to gain momentum.

Here is the biggest step toward defeating stress

Every day, focus on breathing deeply. When you build up to a stressful situation, when you allow stress to become your prevailing thought for the day, you will find that your breathing shallows. Your heart rate moves faster, your blood pressure elevates, and sometimes you get that pounding feeling in your heart.

In order to defeat stress and activate the law of attraction in favor of your goals, you need to take a deep breathing break whenever and wherever you are. Do not wait for a specific time or place. If you wait for a specific time or place and stress has already set in, your job of eliminating stress will be a Herculean effort as you will be fighting against the law of attraction at that point.



Post a note on your cell phone memo pad or note pad, or send yourself a text message, that states just one word…breathe. Post sticky notes on your computer or work desk. As you look at your computer sticky notes or cell phone memo pad, take a long slow deep breath.

Inhale very slowly. As you exhale, push all of the tension out of your lungs.

Take two or three long, slow deep breaths. This will cost you nothing in time, however it will create an enormous return on investment in achieving your goals, as you will have your mind and body moving in harmony to employ the law of attraction at work, and at home.

Summary:

The law of attraction is working all of the time for you. Sometimes it works against you, especially in stressful situations. You need to defeat stress before it takes hold. The best method to defeat stress is by focusing on deep breathing during the day, especially when you are not feeling the effects of stress, yet. Post notes around your office and home and begin to breathe deeply as you recognize those notes.

Breathing deeply will move your mind and body together in achieving your goals.

Annihilate the Fear of Failure Podcast

One of the four great fears as it applies to stress and the effects of stress is the "Fear of Failure."

All of us have exerienced failure in our lives. In fact it is very rare when we go after a goal that at some point we fail along the way. Unfortunately, for many of us the fear of failure can keep us from even setting goals in the first place.

I Have to's and I want to's: Core Stress at It's Best

There is a basic type of stress all of us experience on a daily basis.

This stress is called “core stress,” by some psychologists. What core stress refers to is the difference between how you feel when confronted by what you want to do and what you have to do. For example, the statement “I cannot go with you today to the soccer game, because my Father says I have to cut the grass in the yard.” Obviously this person has stress surrounding the job of cutting grass when confronted with another option, “going to the soccer game.”

When you personally experience the difference between what you want to do and what we want to do, our bodies take over in the flight or fight mode. We will either want to run away from the whole experience or we will want to stand and fight. Over a thousand identifiable chemicals are dumped into your bloodstream including epinephrine, (adrenalin) so your entire body is subject to the effects of a racing heart and chemical production you do not really want to experience.

On the flip side of the equation, what happens when you are confronted with an “I want to situation?”

Example: “I want to go to the baseball game.” “My Father said, if I get an offer to go to the big baseball game, go ahead and go to the game.” “I will be able to cut the grass tomorrow.”

When you are in the “I want to” state of mind and body, your body functions normally and is in equilibrium. This is the state of mind and body you want to be in unless your life is severely threatened and you need your flight or fight instinct.


What Can I do About Keeping the Chemicals out of My Bloodstream?

In order to keep your mind and body in harmony and in physiological equilibrium you need to change your “I have to’s” into “I want to’s.”

Once you do that, you will eliminate “core stress” from that social interaction.

For an example: “I am not going with you to the soccer game, because I want to cut the grass today for my Father.” “It is very important for him to have the yard looking nice.” “There will be plenty of soccer games for us to attend in the future.” “I look forward to that time.”

How does this work in my business?

Let us say you are a sales manager rolling out a new compensation program for your sales team.

In-stead of telling your sales team, “You are going to have to sell 10,000 more widgets a month,” thus projecting the “have to” flight or fight response,” say it this way, “You are going “to want” to sell 10,000 more widgets a month in order go receive the top sales bonus.”

Each sales team member needs to rationalize and then internalize, that “I want to sell 10,000 more widgets this month,” rather than, “I have to sell 10,000 more widgets this month.”

Exercise: Exorcising Have To’s

As an exercise note how many times today, you run across a person saying, “I have to” rather than, “I want to.” Jot down the situation surrounding the event and then ask yourself, how can I turn these “I have to’s into I want to’s.”

Then notice in your own conversation, the circumstances surrounding your “I have to’s” that come out of your mouth each day. Turn those into “I want to’s, “by finding positive personal benefits in each instance.

You will find yourself reducing your flight or fight response and the negative physiological effects of the number of those responses.

Summary:

Flight or fight responses emerge from “core stress.” Core stress happens when we are doing or even thinking about things we “have to” do, rather than doing things we “want to” do. By writing down occurrences of “I have to’s” and using positive statements in changing those to “I want to’s,” you can create the physiological equilibrium and harmony you need to enjoy your job and your life.

What is Stress? Flight or Fight

Are you having a magnificent week selling your products and services building your business, and making new friends? I also sincerely wish you enjoy your job and the people you impact each day.

Today we are going explore stress what it is, how it affects you, and we will examine the flight or fight reaction to stress. We need to examine these issues s and get to the root causes of stress to enable you to break the chains that keep you from achieving top business goals.

What is Stress?

The following is a definition from Dictionary.com “1. Stress is a specific response by the body to a stimulus, as fear or pain that disturbs or interferes with the normal physiological equilibrium of an organism. “ ”2. Stress is a physical, mental, or emotional strain or tension.” The following sentence illustrates the definition. “Worry over his job and his wife's health put him under a great stress.”

From definition #1, remember that “fear” initiates a flight or fight response in our bodies. This is where stress becomes real trouble. We have enough fear associated with the selling process and with human relationships. Why add the physiological realities of disturbing our equilibrium? In prehistoric times when the fight or flight response evolved in humans, fight was manifested in aggressive, combative behavior and flight was manifested by fleeing potentially threatening situations, such as being confronted by a dangerous animal. Now, these responses persist, but fight and flight responses have assumed a wider range of behaviors. For example, the fight response may be manifested in angry, argumentative behavior, and the flight response may be manifested through social withdrawal, overeating, obsessive/compulsive behavior, substance abuse, and even television viewing. Now I understand why so many people watch American Idol.

Facts about Stress:

Stress is down right nasty.

Stress in our modern world is totally unnecessary for people to endure.In medical terms, stress is a physical or psychological stimulus that can produce mental or physiological reactions that may lead to illness.

The body reacts to stress first by releasing the catecholamine hormones, epinephrine also known as adrenaline and norepinephrine also known as: noradrenaline, and the glucocorticoid hormones, cortisol and cortisone. One medical research group found that anywhere between 1000 and 1200 identifiable chemicals are dumped into your bloodstream every time the stress response is initiated.*

Sounds like fun? Read further.

Television shows can induce stress.

Recognition of some people can induce stress. Your Mother in Law and your boss can induce stress.

Stress is contagious. If you do not believe me with this statement conduct the following experiment. The next time you are extremely stressed out, go up to your boss and scream as loud as you can at him or her. You will quickly discover as a result of the experiment that stress is contagious.

Here are some additional facts about stress:

You cannot experience stress and deep relaxation at the same exact moment. It is a physical and psychological impossibility.

Stress is transferable…from one activity to the next. You can react to an angry driver who just cut you off the road, and then scream at your spouse who was innocently sitting next to you, when she asks you, “why are you getting angry?”

The effects of stress compound over time like proceeds from a tax-free retirement program.
Stress can be linked to activities, people and things.

Relaxation can be linked to the same activities, people and things, thus reversing the effects of stress.

Stress is parasitic…it associates and attaches itself to non stress behavior and situations. Soon those non stress behaviors become stressful.

Did you ever begin working at a company and really enjoyed the job? But soon disgruntled employees and changing conditions created stress in your body. After a while you begin to dislike your job and you initial a stress response on the way to work or as you are passing through the front door.

The following is a story that demonstrates how eating can induce physical stress.
I remember working at a company where I had an hour to each lunch. One of my fellow employees said; let’s go to a pizza restaurant on the other side of town. It will take us fifteen minutes to get there and fifteen minutes to get back, however, if we all order the special we will be served in about five minutes.

We left our building at 11:30AM to beat the noon crowd and arrived at 11:45 AM . All of us ordered the special in order to get out of there quickly and I know you have already guessed the end of this story. Even though the restaurant was empty when we arrived, our food did not arrive until 12:15 PM . That meant we had to take our order with us and eat pizza slices in the car while wearing our business suits on the way back to the office.

Noon traffic was horrible and we encountered every single stop light from Camelback Road to McDowell Road in Phoenix . We arrived at work exactly ten minutes late. I had pizza stains all over my tie, and business suit. J.C. Penny never smelled so good. If I said my boss was standing at the door waiting for us, tapping his toe by the glass door I know you would think I was making this story up. I cannot tell a lie. My boss was not by the glass door. I found him when I got to my desk located through the door and upstairs. He already had his speech well rehearsed about taking long lunches while he was standing beside my desk.

Boy, was I angry with myself! From that point on I never left the building regardless of where the potential lunch disaster was located. I began feeling the effects of stress any time someone said, “It is time for lunch.”

Story 2 Flight or Fight

In my story, lunch time became associated with fear. I felt the flight or fight reaction to stress. Today, I live in the mountains of Northern Arizona. Here archeologists have discovered many ancient ruins and burial grounds. These experts theorized that the people living in the ancient ruins were hunter gatherers. Ancient peoples grazed. People did not have set times during the day that they ate, they munched on anything found on the ground in bushes, and or in trees as they went along their daily business. You can imagine an ancient man walking though the tall pine forests of Northern Arizona, bending down on the ground to pick up a berries or nuts, testing them a little before putting them in his mouth.

Maybe, ancient man quietly observed squirrels, birds or other mammals eating the berries first so he had reason to believe he would not be harmed eating the same foods. Every day man would leave his cave or dwelling to gather these foods for his mate and his family hiding in the safety of the rocks.

The one day, ancient man, we will call him Bob, leaves his shelter, kisses his wife let us call her Molly, and his baby, we let’s call him Baby Bluto, goodbye and heads down his well worn path through the woods, winding up at an opening near the rapidly flowing creek below.
At the creek he will bring water back in a container he fashioned out of a hollow tree branch. Let’s call this hollow tree a “water stick.”

Now, Bob heads down the path, relaxed, calm and confident ready to accomplish his mission of bringing water back to his family. But this time just as he arrives at the creek a hungry bear spots Bob and thinks Bob would be great to wash down with this cool, and tasty, creek water. Bob spots and bear and instantly his “flight or fight” reaction takes place. Bob stops the blood involved in digesting his the juicy berries he found a few minutes ago on the path and redirects blood to his legs…for flight and his arms…for fight. His body produces adrenalin and his heart beats faster.

Bob chooses flight over fight and sprints like a race horse back to his cave.

The next morning Molly tries to awaken Bob to get more water at the creek. Bob opens his eyes a little, yawns, and then rolls over back asleep. Bob is procrastinating because he is thinking about the bear he may have to confront at the creek. Molly begins punching Bob to get up and he finally rubs his eyes and gets up. Molly tells Bob not to forget his water stick. Bob takes the stick and begins moving it from one side of the cave to the other. Finally, Molly tosses Bob out of the cave entrance where Bob now begins to walk slowly and cautiously toward the creek. Bob doe not feel like picking up any berries, today. He is not hungry. Bob’s heart is beating faster the closer he gets to the creek. His mouth is dry his arms and legs feel heavy. Gone is the calm and confident state of mind and body. In its place is fear. The flight or flight response is beginning to become hard wired to Bob’s brain.

Bob makes it to the creek, slowly and nervously but without incident.
I wonder how many days it will take Bob to get back to the calm and confident water collector he was prior to his bear encounter?

Stress Annihilation Exercise 1.2 Training Your Brain to Reframe

When you are working, do you find certain activities where you move your water stick from one side of the cave to the other?

You have to consciously train your brain to reframe an incident like Bob and the bear. Bob will have to take time to relax and remember all of the times he went down to the creek without incident. Otherwise he will soon build up a conditioned response to walking toward the creek. Soon stress will exhibit its parasitic nature and Bob will experience stress in any direction he travels.

In our lives, how many times do we focus on the bad experiences we have had and forget all of the great experiences we had?

Bob needs to focus on the outcome…keeping his family healthy with plenty of water. Rather then focus on activities. Thinking about the frightening bear he will meet up with on the way fulfilling his goal may prevent him from fulfilling his job of taking care of his family.
When we focus on positive outcomes, improving sales by 40 percent so we can take a relaxing vacation, and continue to support our needs and wants, we take a positive step in conquering procrastination and annihilating stress.

Write this down

1. What activities today do I find myself procrastinating about? What activities do I always put off until later?

2. If you are in sales or an executive in charge of business building, ask yourself, what activities that I am putting off, are valued most by my boss or my company? You may find that the most productive activities from your company’s point of view are the very ones you are trying to avoid. How many bears do I have to avoid today?

Taking Action:

3. Then write a reframing statement and focus on that statement. The statement will include the positive outcome you wish to receive based on overcoming procrastination. The statement will look something like this. “I will take action today.” Each time I find myself procrastinating over an activity, I will complete the task immediately. “I realize that by completing the task I am taking a calm and confident step forward in sustaining life for myself and my family.”
Now if you do not have a family, perhaps your reframing statement will include something you really desire such the prestige of becoming the top sale producer in your company, or winning a sales contest, or earning enough money for a vacation. Your favorable outcome may be more respect from your peers, superiors or the business community.

Summary:

Flight or fight stress reactions have negative effects on our lives. Dumping thousands of chemicals in our bloodstream, the physiological effects of stress can be paralyzing as “procrastination” takes over our minds and bodies.

Your goal is to focus on your positive outcomes by changing the way you think about stress. In this way, you will immediately lessen the effects of stress and annihilate the flight or fight response that is poisoning your mind and body. Like Bob, you will wake up refreshed and begin your productive day avoiding the bears that affect your business and your life.

Article 1: Mapping Your Stress

Mapping your stress involves self-exploration. You are the expert in stress as it applies to you. Before I give you MY definition of the word, “stress” is I want you to tell me how it affects you? What does stress feel like to you?

It is really your experience with stress that is most important at this phase, not mine. Therefore I want you to think about how stress affects you, and then get ready to jot down some questions you need to answer so we both understand what is wrong and how to fix what is wrong.

Exercise #1.1 Feeling What You Feel About Stress

What does stress feel like to you?

Think about this now and write down the following questions. Before you communicate with a single prospect or client today, perform the following exercise.

Take a sheet of paper or write down in a note book or journal the following:

1. This is what stress feels like to me. Now write what stress feels like to you. For example, stress feels like a heavy weight on my back.

2. Write down, how does stress affect me emotionally? For example, I get short with my staff when I am emotionally affected by stress. Are you always calm and steady in your interactions with people while stressed? Do you vent on managers, directors, subordinates, family members, etc? How do you feel emotionally?

3. How is stress affecting my body physically? Do I have headaches, psoriasis, asthma, digestive problems, eating problems, sleep deprivation, back ache, high blood pressure, etc?

Mapping Your Stress

You need to map the effects of your stress to determine what you want to change. Physically, begin thinking about how you feel throughout your body.

Begin with your head and proceed down your body all the way down to your feet.

Now write down the following question, how does stress affect my body?

You will not understand how to annihilate stress until you understand how it feels specifically to you. Only you can determine this. Everyone experiences stress, but some people manifest undesirable emotional and physical conditions.

In the following articles we will uncover some interesting aspects of stress and how the fundamental law of attraction comes into play when annihilating stress and achieving your business and personal goals.

It all begins with your self-analysis, and how stress makes you feel.

You need to feel it before you kill it.

Tip #1 Quick Stress Annihilation Exercise When You are Going to Work

Purpose: To annihilate stress while going to your job or your business. We are not annihilating all stress at this point. We will just chip away at it during this exercise with the result of feeling better during everyday activities. You are just going to change your breathing pattern without regard to what you are thinking about at the time.

It is critical at this time to not think of positive affirmations or happy thoughts. We need to annihilate stress before we can initiate permanent positive change. All I want to do is get you into a pattern of breathing deeply regardless of the ten or twelve thoughts that may be swimming around in your head at the time.

Here is an exercise for walking up to and getting into your car.

As you notice your car in the parking lot, in your garage or in your driveway, begin to take a slow deep breath.

Be sure to breathe from the very depth of your lungs.

You can be walking at your natural speed as you approach your car.

Count to five silently to yourself as you inhale as you breathe in and six through ten as you breathe out. Push any tension out of your lungs.

As you get into your vehicle, again take the ten count breathing exercise. Count to five and breathe in deeply as you turn the key in your ignition and let out your deep breath.

That is the end of your first exercise. Congratulations!

You may ask, What about if I take the train, the El, or the subway, or ride with someone else to work? How do I complete the exercise?

If you are commuting to work, you will be in the process of waiting at a stop or a station. As you approach the bus, cab, train or waiting car, as soon as you identify, your specific mode of transportation, begin the same exercise.

Take a slow deep breath, counting silently from one to five. Then begin letting out your slow deep breath for the count of six through ten. Focus on pushing all the tension out of your lungs.

Walk at your normal pace and think about whatever you wish to think about. Again, this is not the time for positive suggestions or happy thoughts.

They will come later in your stress annihilation training.


Always Remember:

Do not take any more time breathing deeply completing your mission of getting into your car or approaching your bus, cab or training, as you would during your normal day of perhaps not breathing deeply. We want to develop strategies that you can easily integrate into your life in order to get the desire result which is: Annihilate Stress and Propagate Hope.
