Since you're looking for free
stuff, make sure you take the stress tests. They will help direct you
to the major stresses in your life. Then go to the stress management
tab where you'll find longer-term stress relievers. Then when you have
that information you'll probably want to know how to deal with the
stress in your life throughout your lifetime.
The Ultimate Natural Stress
Management Manual is a complete course on the
stress in
your life with
targeted approaches about what to do with it.
But since you want
something free, here are two things you can do right now for quick
stress relief.
Exercise and Rest.
Let's get right to it.
I. EXERCISE
Exercise has a great
effect on
stress. If you are stressed you are not exercising. I know you; you're
not doing much of it, are you?
There are two broad
kinds of
exercises: aerobic and anaerobic. The following are the best and
easiest ways to do both. Do them 1-3 times each week and watch your
stress melt before your eyes.
AEROBIC
THE GRIZZLY BEAR
You may choose
running, bicycling,
swimming, cross country skiing or other “aerobics”
exercise
contraption for your Grizzly Bear Interval Training. The key to success
is putting out high intensity bursts of speed lasting 30-90 seconds.
Pretend there is a
grizzly bear
chasing you. Take off at nearly full speed and go like crazy until you
feel as if you'd rather be Mr. Grizzly's lunch than go a few more
seconds. At that point (which should be at the end of a 30-90 second
burst) stop. In precisely 60 seconds take your 15 second pulse. Go
right into your next Grizzly Bear chase, repeating the cycle until you
see a pulse that is clearly not lowering. Go home and feel powerful.
ANAEROBIC
THE POWER BURN
Select a weight so
heavy that for
the first second you can't budge it. If you can lift the weight for 60
seconds, that is heavy enough. The ideal weight will allow you three to
six slow repetitions in 60-90 seconds at which point you will be in
utter fatigue. The goal is to move your muscle with the weight very
slow until you reach complete fatigue, the point that you cannot lift
the weight in good form. Do not do other movements like twisting,
turning, jerking, grimacing while doing the exercise. Afterwards do all
the grimacing you want. Complete muscle fatigue is the goal. This
process engages all muscle fibers adding muscle mass.
II. REST
Take a nap during the
day…10 minutes and you will recharge your energy. Most
importantly, get some good sleep at night. If you are not sleeping
well, you are not healing well and your stress will rise accordingly.
Do not eat two hours before you go to bed or you will be digesting food
instead of healing and repairing your body.
Exercise and rest;
two powerful
ways for stress relief. And they are good for you. Exercise regularly,
several times a week. Make sure you are getting good rest regularly.
If exercise and rest
are not consistent in your life, your levels of stress will climb.
In The Ultimate Natural Stress
Management Manual, you will find the primary stresses in
your life, why
they are always there, and what to do about them permanently.
