2009-02-27 Hi. Thank you for visiting my blog. I know that your time is valuable, and I really do appreciate your taking time to check this little website out. And I want to make your time worthwhile. So if there anything I can do for you, please send me a note through the comments on this page or the FEEDBACK page below.
Okay, so here are things you may want to know. I just finished "Atlas Shrugged" a few months ago, and am going to read it again. I like Max Barry and Barry Eisler as authors. My favorite group of all time is Renaissance, a unique band from the 1970's. I am a huge Peyton Manning and Kurt Warner fan. I have followed MMA from UFC 1. I am a Christian, having been exposed and nurtured at an early age by my Aunt Francie, who never pushed it - just presented it. I am a husband (marriage number only) with 2 beautiful children who are far more sociable, athletic, and cute than I ever was at their ages! So how this all tie into STRESS JUDO? I started studying martial arts (shotokan karate, specifically) when I was in college, where I also participated in boxing and wrestling. I studied karate, and eventually muay thai, jujitsu, aikido, and judo (you knew it would be in there!) up until I started law school. Law schools professors - this is the cynical side of me speaking now - try to get students to cry, especially when they aren't prepared for class. The professors, I mean. So they put all kinds of pressure on you, until they find an answer that you can't answer. Well, in the dojo, I had guys kicking at my head - being hip-tossed - fighting off triangle chokes and sleeper holds. I had to fight against 3 or 5 attackers at one time. I had to fight off attackers and guard someone. So after that, the questions of the law professor weren't all that stressful. My career as a lawyer has been in trial from my first day. In the courtroom, you are under stress from the judge, the opposing counsel, the witnesses, the other party, and your client. There is no where to turn. And I noticed that the same trechniques I used to keep my cool in the dojo - were just as effective in the courtroom. So I developed STRESS JUDO over the course of several years. It started out with just a few components, and then more got added and modified as the system developed. And it will continue to develop, especially as I get feedback adn comments from you, the users. So please get a copy of STRESS JUDO: The Mastery Manual, and put it into action. Let us know - via the COMMENTS section or the FEEDBACK page - your thoughts and suggestions. If you have questions about me personally, ask them. I will answer everything. 2009-02-25 stuff in the news
Hi. I saw this online article in the New England Journal Of Medicine. It says:
"Many people try to manage their stress without ever addressing the real root of the stress. They purchase relaxation tapes, take vacations or practice stress-management skills, but often they do not change their mental or emotional habits."
Now, that is EXACTLY what STRESS JUDO does! By teaching you the 12 components of comprehensive stress management - including creative thinking, time management, overall fitness - your mental and emotional approach to stressful situations changes. You no longer perceive stress as "threats." That is the reason we say "Turning stress into OPPORTUNITIES." The study in the New England Journal Of Medicine was NOT of STRESS JUDO. But it is interesting that such a respected journal would reach the same conclusion as we do. And apparently recommends a similar approach. Check out STRESS JUDO. It may change your life. (I like to point out interesting items in the news)
Check out STRESS JUDO. And change your attitude toward stress. 2009-02-24
Stress has all kinds of bad effects on your health. High blood pressure, stroke, heart attack. But stress also wreaks havoc on your appearance. By knowing what to do to relieve stress, you can actually make yourself better looking and more attractive. People react to stressful situations reflexively in only 2 ways. Flight - run away from it. Or fight - get all tensed up, as if you are entering mutual combat. The problem is that you can't run away from a deadline at work. And you can't fight your boss. So all that stress reaction turns inward and wrecks your body and emotions. Looking at how does stress affect health requires looking at how does stress affect your appearance. But increasing the number of ways to react to stress by strengthening your creative thinking will improve your reactions. By going from 2 to many, you have a better chance of finding the best way to eliminate stress. And reducing the harmful effects of stress on the body, the spirit, and your attractiveness. This will improve your appearance in at least 4 ways: 1. Keep your fitness routine on schedule. Stress tears up your schedule and makes you miss your workouts. Eliminating stress keeps your workouts right where they need to be. 2. Stay motivated and relentless during your workout. Stress many times leaves you unmotivated to push yourself at a workout. Reducing stress raises your motivation, which makes a workout. 3. Pay attention to your appearance. When stress grabs ahold of you, it oftentimes makes you depressed, so you don't pay attention to your dress or hair. By not allowing depression to set in, your appearance won't suffer. 4. Stress makes you binge eat, so you gain weight. Many people try to ease the pain of stress through comfort foods and binge or yo-yo eating. No stress means healthier eating and more staying on your diet. Your appearance and attitude while you are fighting stress can help or hurt you. Coming up with creative ways to attack your stressful situation will keep your appearance attractive. So either add creative thinking to your stress management system, or find a system that has creative thinking as a major component. Your hair and waist will thank you. 2009-02-24
Stress really ruins your health. The effects of stress on the body are potentially deadly. But it also ruins your relationships. The stress you are under has an effect on every person you come in contact with. But especially your closest family and friends. And not in a good way. One component of stress management that is rarely mentioned is creative thinking. By strengthening your creative thinking, you can see more solutions to your stressful situation. You can see alternate ways of what to do to relieve stress. And sometimes, just realizing that you have options makes the stress easier to handle. This will improve your relationships in the following ways: 1. You will be more confident. Stress has a way of undermining your confidence. This carries over when you are dealing with family and friends. And your lack of confidence could affect how people treat you. 2. You will be less distracted. The stressful situation is always on your mind, even when you are not directly thinking about it. So when you are trying to enjoy time with family and friends, there's always a part of you that is being distracted by it. And the effect on other people is that you aren't that interested in them. 3. You will be more focused. People want to be the center of your attention. When your stress is always at the back of your mind, you just can't focus on the people who really are most important to you. And this has a tendency to drive them away, which only increases your stress. So eliminating the stress in other areas of your life will improve your relationships. And one excellent way to eliminate stress is to improve your creative thinking. This will give you more options to come at stress with. Few systems use this component because most systems are built around only one method of stress management. A comprehensive stress management program should use creative thinking as one component. It would also use creative thinking in each of the other components of the system. When approaching stress, you need to answer the question "how does stress affect health?" for both physical and emotional health. If you are generally satisfied with your system for managing stress, improving your creative thinking may be the missing piece. Or you could look at a comprehensive stress management system, that uses creative thinking, time management, meditation, and other components together to eliminate stress. | Author
