What are some Physical Signs of Stress?

     Stress is a normal reaction that is supposed to help the body adjust to new situations. Not all stress is bad, in fact it can help us avoid present danger and motivate us to accomplish tasks we’ve deemed important to us.
     

     Today when individuals describe themselves as stressed, very rarely is it because they feel they’re in immediate physical danger. When we allow ourselves to become inundated with stress without relief, we become more susceptible to experiencing physical reactions, some of which can become chronic.


Pain
     Prolonged stress can cause all types of random aches and pains within the body. From headaches and chest pains to stomach aches and sore muscles, grasping just how much physical wear and tear stress generates in the body can be distressing in itself!


Cardiovascular Issues
     When stress runs rampant it’s not uncommon for individuals to experience a variety of cardiovascular issues. Anything from minor chest pain to dramatic changes in blood pressure can be serious signs of physical stress that need to be managed more effectively.


Irregular Sleep
     Those experiencing great amounts of stress often experience dramatic and erratic sleeping patterns and behaviors. For some, a typical twenty-four hour period could consist of very little sleep while the next consists of nothing but sleep. While it’s incredibly easy to get stuck in poor sleeping patterns, achieving consistent deep rest can help individuals overcome stress better than almost anything else. 


Digestive Issues
     One of the most common symptoms of stress is digestive discomfort. This typically includes stomach cramps, gas, urgency, and even ulcers in some extreme cases. Persistent and unresolved stresses and fears can cause the body to overreact, and sometimes even become a catalyst for more serious and chronic issues.


Final Thoughts
     The physical consequences of stress can eventually become dangerous and incredibly detrimental to our overall health, especially when left unchecked. Develop powerful coping techniques and invaluable tools for combating the stress in your life with help from hypnosis and EFT.

Dealing with Exam Stress

By websitebuilder • March 29, 2022
Dealing with Exam Stress Exams and finals week are the bane of every student’s academic career and can either make or break their grades. When it’s time to put their knowledge, memorization, and recall ability to the test, most – if not all – students experience an abundance of stress. It can be very difficult to cope with and some individuals may even start feeling physically ill as a result. In this month’s blog, we discuss how to deal with exam stress and nervousness. Why Stress Builds Up The fear and unease that comes with exams affects students of all ages. Sometimes it doesn’t matter how well they prepare themselves or how long their study sessions were – there will always be that lingering panic and nervousness. This is usually due to the uncertainty of the unknown and not knowing what questions or problems that will pop up. Many also doubt their ability to perform and draw blank during test taking. In our society, there is a great emphasis on utilizing exams to measure a person’s knowledge and abilities. While we all expect it during school or going into a job, those built up feelings of stress will always be prevalent as the testing date draws near. If an individual doesn’t know how to cope with it, it often leads to intense emotions, panic attacks, or even “breaking points”. Over time, the built up stress will lead to lasting negative impacts on a person’s unconscious mind and result in more performance-based fears. Hypnosis and Coping with Exam Nerves Preparing for your exam and acing it isn’t just about how knowledgeable you are, but it also depends on your state of mind. While you may know the information to pass the test, the stress will hinder your ability to focus and concentrate. You are more likely to achieve your full potential when you feel calm, focused, and confident. Through hypnosis, an individual will be able to control those exam nerves and reduce any fears associated with it. This allows more room for confidence and relaxation. In addition, hypnosis will defuse any self-sabotaging habits and keep clients motivated moving forward. Self-esteem and self-belief will also be restored, which leads to enhanced learning and memory recall Additional Tips to Calm Your Nerves 1. Sometimes a little bit of stress is good for motivation, but experiencing too much stress will hinder your abilities. When you find yourself struggling with nerves during an exam week again, here are some additional tips to try out: 2. Focus on breathing techniques to calm yourself. 3. Keep a planner or schedule of your studying time. 4. Study in a peaceful and quiet environment. 5. Try working in short bursts rather than a prolonged study session to avoid fatigue. 6. Always remember to take breaks to stretch, eat, and hydrate. 7. Take a short walk if you feel restless sitting in one spot. 8. Avoid social media and other distractions. 9. Start a workout routine. 10. While college students are notorious for pulling all-nighters, try to keep a consistent and adequate sleeping schedule.

Overcoming Your Gambling Habits

By Administrator • September 20, 2021
A gambling habit, also known as problem gambling, is when an individual has the uncontrollable urge to continuously gamble despite the negative consequences. Some may even recognize that they have the desire to stop, but they can’t break out of the cycle. With gambling being so heavily integrated in society, it can be difficult to pinpoint a habit developing into a problem. In this month’s blog, we discuss how gambling patterns develop and how hypnosis can alter these negative patterns and behaviors. Signs of a Gambling Habit Taking your chances on the occasional scratcher card or lottery ticket can be fun, but there’s a huge difference between that and having the urge to gamble at any given moment. It’s important to recognize these problems and understand just how much of an impact gambling has on an individual’s finances and relationships. Here are some signs that point to a gambling habit: • Finding it difficult to stop or manage gambling. • Spending more time and money on gambling than you can afford. • Lying about gambling. • Attempting to get out of financial troubles through gambling or accumulating more debt. • Borrowing money, skipping bills, selling belongings, or stealing to pay for gambling. • Chasing after the “high” of gambling by betting larger amounts of money. • Neglecting personal relationships and work obligations. • Losing interest in other activities. • Feelings of anxiety, irritation, isolation, and guilt. Why People Turn To Gambling Many people gamble for entertainment or for the thrill of winning, while others may do it as a little escape. However, the important difference in enjoying something as entertainment and it turning into a problem is when it becomes a way of coping. This can cause more harm than good, especially since gambling is a very expensive habit. Ignoring a problem doesn’t make it go away and what starts out as a stress relief can grow into a bigger complication. It becomes a downward spiral for many people, which leads to the development of a habit. Similar to drugs and other substances, gambling can stimulate the release of dopamine in the brain. Those attached to substances or alcohol require increasingly stronger and higher amounts to satisfy their indulgences and gamblers, in a similar manner, begin to pursue riskier ventures. They begin betting larger and larger amounts of money while craving that thrill and adrenaline to achieve pleasure. Individuals stuck in this cycle may feel compelled to keep gambling in an attempt to recover their losses due to guilt, which consequently leads to even more loss. This is a destructive cycle that has a serious consequences on an individual’s emotional and mental health. How Hypnosis Can Help Hypnosis is a very useful tool for habitual gamblers to make lasting positive changes and take control of their urges. Gambling can become a life consuming problem and hypnosis can provide a long-term recovery solution. A certified hypnotist can help the client identify the triggers that lead to the habit and help them break out of that negative cycle. For example, the reason an individual may turn to gambling may be due to an argument or a stressful experience. Hypnosis aims to alter the way a person associates gambling as a coping mechanism and a form of stress relief. Overall, clients will be able to learn how to manage their feelings and cope with things in a healthier manner. Learn More At its core, hypnosis helps recovering gamblers build their confidence and self-esteem. It helps clients manage their stress and anxiety while building a stronger mindset to overcome future challenges that may come their way.
