Stress is a complex animal. Each of us need it to a greater or lesser extent – so people only thrive in high pressure situations. What would be do without Pilots prepared to handle the stress of landing a fully laiden 747 in a storm?

However, of course we need a toolbox of techniques to manage the effects of stress. One thing I rate is a great de-stress routine to “de-compress” after a stressful situation.

I’ve used a Deep Relaxation CD for a while now, and I see that the guy that produced it is now doing a free MP3 version for download on his site. You can get it here: http://www.andrewjohnson.co.uk/

I think Robert rocks. I am a nurse and in college to become an Art Therapist (painting creates alpha waves). I purchased Nat Geo “Portrait of a Killer” as soon as I saw in in Sept. My Abnormal Psych prof. is checking it out right now. The date this was released still blows my mind! How appropriate for events in our economy. Robert you must have a crystal ball too.

I want to add doing something new to Dr. Robert Sapolsky four tips.

I can’t resist to mention my stress free week guide here. This is an action guide having stress tips and a relief for a stress-free week. This has seven stress tips, one each for everyday of the week and gives you a stress relief. It is 19 pages PDF e-book. These are practical tips and have a total freshness. You will enjoy doing them. See what others said about this guide.

My guaranty is you will find few stress tips you have never heard and they all work. This is more to tune our mind, thinking and judgment for stress relief. This is to change our life style for better.

Among many ways and methods to relieve stress, a new activity is very good stress buster. One lesser known fact is that the majority, indeed very vast majority, of us do not have a hobby. So that means that most of us are consumed with routine activities only.

It is good to try to find the roots of stress not in stress itself which is usually an outcome of other situations.
It is good to try to dig deep into our psyche and check for priorities.
What really are we pursuing for and we get anxiety and stress if we do not find? Lots of money? Biiig houses? Huuuge cars? What are really our priorities and connection with more meaningful elements. Have we ever wondered that perhaps what the society has established as “important”, if they are really? I mean when enough is enough in all aspects of our life? What happened to true love? Not lust or eccentric desire but plain and honest love for ourselves and others. What are plans for action are? To conquer and destroy or simply to build and cherish.
It is good for all of us to sit down and meditate on the fundamental values of our life that drive us to blish or to stress or to ignorance.
There is hidden wisdom there.

I am visual, loved the fact that the principle of animal behavior are similar to human.

If you like to reduce “stress” from your life, just get yourself a fury animal and watch their behavior…after a while, all that fuss about stress start making sense.

Rob,
I thoroughly enjoyed watching this.
As a type A, and understanding where my hierachy is in relation to stress was a definate eye opener. More so to learn what I can do to throw a curve ball for preventative maintenance within!
Thank you for your studies — look forward to your next 10 years of studies.

Thanks for the comments everyone, glad to know that in some cases the video is releasing stress, and in other cases, causing stress for the dedicated procrastinators. (Matthew Slack may be quite the aptronym.) It’s good to know this feature has provided a practical resource for our audience, whether for personal or professional purposes. Check the updated links above if you missed the broadcast!

Inside the laws of nature, the physically strongest are least stressed because they get what they need for survival and “thrival”. Inside our laws the strongest are least stressed because they get what they need for survival and “thrival”. The strongest are suited perfect for the society that has been created. These types will continue a society in which they are the “stressors” and not the “stressees” because they are in charge. The stressees have 3 options. 1. Wait for a bout of babboon tuburculosis, or dinosaur meteor etc..(natural catastrophe). 2. Beat the stressors. War..etc. 3. Join them. Incredibly, in most cases option 3 is chosen…(based on probable consequences), but rarely successful. (see corporate america). 3 requires a physical brain chemistry change to become a stressor. Cool stuff..but I Can hardly wait for the meteor.
