It is possible though that we can push ourselves
or our immune system too far and this early warning sign manifests
itself in the form of symptoms. Symptoms help us determine the
positive and negative side effects of too much stress or stimulation
and they are the subject of the second section on the CD. We need
to understand what to look for in ourselves and others and to use
some simple techniques to reduce or ‘manage’ these symptoms.
Thirdly, we need to learn that sources or triggers of stress are
routinely around us all the time. There isn’t much we can do about
that because certain triggers like noise, cold, traffic, other
people, going to work etc are necessities and usually have to be
accepted as part of everyday living. This is why stress is such
a normal process. However, frequent exposure to stressors that
upset or ‘distress’ us are important to keep an account of and
to moderate their effects. Otherwise we are too regularly or intensively
exposed to them and hence we will experience more symptoms. Management
techniques like relaxation and exercise are then unlikely to be
enough. This is why many people do not find audio tapes that deliver
whale music, the whole answer!
Finally, we need to understand that the biggest ingredient in
both the experience and management of stress is US! We are the
key to either helping or hindering this process and this is explained
further on the CD. So, if you are looking for something that explains
stress and helps you to know what to do about it please visit the

disappointed or you will receive your money back! |
