High Blood Pressure Symptoms http://stressjudo.blinkweb.com/13/2010/02/how-does-stress-affect-health-high-blood-pressure-symptoms-bd856/ Does THIS Sound Like STRESS JUDO? (hint: yes, it does)
Stress affects your health because your body and mind kick in the "fightor flight" reaction.  See, stress is something that disturbs your world.  Sometimes it is a positive thing, like graduating from college.  But most often, when people talk about stress, they are referring to something negative: deadlines at work, test anxiety, fear of job loss.  You perceive these negative things as a threat, and you react unconsciously by preparing to "fight" the threat or take "flight" from it.  And it is this reaction that needs management stress focused.
 
In making such preparation, your body floods itself with various hormones and chemicals, including adrenaline.  Your mind focuses on the threat, and ignores other things going on.  Your stomach floods itself with acid, to better get energy quickly from undigested food.  And your heart raises your blood pressure, so that you can react if the threat escalates.  If you stay in this state for a long time, you may suffer high blood pressure symptoms.
 
All of this happens unconsciously.  Your stress management techniques are your conscious attempt to regulate your body's stress reaction.  To make sure it's working, you need to know how the bad health effects of stress are manifested, including high blood pressure symptoms.  Your goal is to maintain your individual definition of wellness.

Blood pressure is the force with which your blood is flowing through your veins and arteries.  It is expressed as the ratio of your systolic (when the heart beats, or pumps blood) pressure and your diastolic (when the heart is between beats) pressure.   Your body raises these numbers when under stress, to ensure that blood is flowing to all the parts of your body that need to react to the stressful situation.
 
High blood pressure rarely has symptoms other than higher blood pressure numbers.  By the time you see these symptoms, you could be in serious physiological trouble.  Symptoms of high blood pressure may include:

  1. The above numbers are elevated.  You can measure and track your blood pressure at home using a sphygmomanometer, available lat your local drugstore or pharmacy. 
  2. Blurred vision or eye pain.  Unfortunately, you may have suffered a lot of damage by the time you see these symptoms.
  3. Drowsiness or confusion.
  4. Headache.
  5. Chest pain.

You should be checking your blood pressure regularly, either at home or at your doctor's office.  Also, if you have any of the above symptoms, you should see a doctor (since this article is not medical advice).  High blood pressure can also be caused by factors completely unrelated to stress.
 
If your high blood pressure is caused by stress, however, then you have several options.  You can moderate your internal reaction to stress.  This can be by practicing meditation, learning relaxation techniques, or visualizing non-stressful situations.  You can eliminate the stressor by attacking and solving the stressful situation.  Or you can use either natural or medicinal aids to lower your blood pressure physiologically.
 
Since high blood pressure symptoms don't usually appear until your body has been damaged, it is best to monitor your blood pressure if you are under stress.  And maybe the best management stress mechanism is to combine internal techniques, to lessen your body's reaction to stress, with eternal methods of attacking and eliminating the stress.  Always check with your doctor if high blood pressure is a concern.

First In A Series. http://stressjudo.blinkweb.com/13/2010/02/how-does-stress-affect-health-first-in-a-series--bd655/ Does THIS Sound Like STRESS JUDO? (hint: yes, it does)
This post is the first in a series that will look at how stress affects your health.  Now, I am not a doctor and this isn't medical or psychological advice.  You need to decide what to do with these posts and whether or not you should consult your health provider. 
 
The first post will be on high blood pressure symptoms and how stress affects them.  Future posts will look at how stress affects your energy, your focus, your digestion, and other systems of your body.
 
For me personally, I really do use STRESS JUDO to try to avoid the bad health effects of stress.  When you focus on how to prevent or attack stress, you are probably more sensitive to feeling stress when it is causing some kind of change.  For me, the most obvious is that: I dream.  Feel free to leave your comments here about how you know when stress is affecting you.
 
Well, I guess technically I remember my dreams (since "they" say we dream every night).  But seriously.  I never wake up remembering a dream.  Ever.  So when I wake up and remember that I had a dream, it's time to take a long look at whether I am having stress.
 
Now the cool thing is that the dream is almost always extremely disturbing, so it's easy to remember.  And it usually is pretty easy to interpret.  For example, I woke up and my dream was that a person without a discernable face had come up on my porch and tried to stab me several times.  In my dream, I attacked him and he disappeared.  As I thought about, I realized that I am in the middle of a disagreement with someone over company policy which affects me and my team personally and professionally.  So the dream - as I interpret it - is telling me to NOT make it personal, but rather to keep this professional.

(hint: yes, it does)
What would tests be without stress?  Well, they'd be puzzles!  Test anxiety lets you know that you are doing something important, that has the potential of changing at least a part of your life.  But stress and anxiety also wear down your physical and emotional systems.  So stress management anxiety reduction strategies are sought after, especially around test time.
 
Stress management is one way to reduce and relieve the physical symptoms of anxiety attacks, which cause you to get distracted or unfocused during the test.  It also allows you to focus on the questions or problems on the test, and battle the stressor that is causing the anxiety.  And it is only by eliminating the stressor that you can finally end the bad health effects of stress that are so harmful to you.
 
Let's look at seven tips for stress management of test anxiety:

  1. Identify whether your level of stress is proportionate. In other words, if the consequences of doing poorly on this test don't affect your grade or passing so much, then you can approach it a little more lightly.
  2. Use creative problem solving to think of as ways to attack studying and preparation other simply retreating into than your body's "fight or flight" reaction.  The bad health effects of stress are most often caused by this reaction.
  3. Ask people to help you prepare.  By sharing the burden, you can focus your efforts - and the stress - on the most important elements.
  4. Set up a practice system for the test.  This eliminates the stress of doubt about how you will perform on test day.
  5. Reject non-priority tasks and interruptions.  If people take this the wrong way, ask them if they will take the test for you.  (this is using humor to relieve the stress also).
  6. Take one specific action toward step 1 of your first goal.
  7. Assess the results.

While these 7 tips may be a little different from the usual "study, study, study," the goal is to reduce the anxiety you feel when taking the stress.  Studying is still the best preparation for the test.  By focusing on eliminating the stress, your mind wil be free to focus on the test and on retrieving the information.  Your usual stress management systems are built around lone techniques, like deep breathing or visualization.  But these seven tips for eliminating test anxiety, all performed by you before the test takes place, are your ticket to comprehensive stress management and anxiety reduction.
 
Be sure to talk to your doctor about other ways to reduce the physical symptoms of stress and anxiety.  You may actually need medications or therapies.  And, of course, you must be aware that some physical symptoms might actually be a heart attack!  So consult with your doctor before and during any stress or anxiety situation.

(hint: yes, it does)
I had been going to a particular karate dojo (school) for about 1-1/2 years before I applied for, and was accepted to, law school.  The school emphasized hard sparring.  As in full-contact seeing-stars kind of full contact, not the point contact that some schools use.  So, when I told everyone there I was going to law school, they were all pretty excited.
My last day at the school, the sensei (head teacher) calls me out by name for the sparring session.  Now, let me describe my sensei.  He is about 8" taller than me, outweighed me by 50-60 lbs, had 20 years of experience on me, and moved like a cat.  He said "go" and came at me harder than he ever had!

UH-OH.  HERE IT COMES.

Hook kicks to the sides of my head.  Leg trips.  Arm bars, choke holds, elbows.  Hip tosses, shoulder tosses. jabs and crosses.  I was reeling.  It was all I could do to try to cover up, and throw an occassional jab or kick to keep him off me.  But he was relentless, pushing forward.  And the whole time (it was 5 minutes that felt like forever), I was trying to control my emotions.  Not panic.  See what he was doing and find a counter.
Finally, it stopped.  I was exhausted.  Getting hit is much more tiring than hitting!
Oh, no - it didn't stop.  He motioned to his chief black belt - pointed to me - and said "Next!"  And so began 5 more minutes of an assault.  I was blocking - or trying to block - kicks, punches, throws, elbows.  This school taught karate, judo, akido, jujitsu, muay thai.  So I am defending against many techniques.  I could feel panic at the edges of my mind on several occassions, but I basically willed myself to keep fighting.
Okay, so now it's over.  I went to unstrap my gloves, and my sensei stepped in front of me.  ":Next!"  And it went on for 5 more minutes!  By now, I was pretty much all defense.  I tried to dodge or block what was being thrown at me.  If I saw an opening, I levelled a kick or punch, but they were becoming increasinngly ineffective.  But I stayed standing to the end.

AND FOR SURVIVING, I DIDN'T EVEN GET A COOKIE.

Finally, the sensei called "Matte!"  That's "End!" in Japanese.  He slapped me on my back, with a broad smile on his face, and congratulated me.  I asked what for - and he said "for not quitting.  For fighting to the end."
He then explained that he had basically given me a "stress test" - putting me under maximum pressure to see how I reacted.  And I reacted by staying focused, by drawing on my experience adn skill, and by not panicking or quitting.

SO HOW DOES THIS WORK IN THE REAL WORLD?

So, fast forward to 1st year law school.  The professors put tremendous pressure on students, and basically try to trip adn trap them.  I was being qquestioned by a professor who had a reputation for making students cry!  And the more he pushed me, and asked his tricky questions, and use sarcasm and contempt and dismissal in his voice - the more I hung in there.   Afterwords, several friends asked me how I did it.
And I told them the story above and said "After you've been kicked in the head by a 250 lb black belt, a few questions from a law professor ain't nothing!"

AND THIS AFFECTS ME HOW?

After I graduated,  I began practice as a trial attorney.  And I realized that I used the same skills to handle the stress of trial, and the stress of managing law offices and law departments, as I had used that day, getting kicked in the head.  And, being the analytical sort, I broke down those skills into 12 components.  The 12 modules - in 6 belt levels - of STRESS JUDO.
And that is how STRESS JUDO was created.  The 12 components of handling stress - whether it's the stress of beign attacked physically, or the stress of combat of wills in a courtroom, or the stress of a relationship .

PICTURE YOUR LIFE WHEN STRESS IS NOT A CONCERN AND WHERE YOU ARE
THE LEADER IN STRESSFUL SITUATIONS. 

To see exactly how you can do this, go to What to do to relieve stress. STRESS JUDO was developed by Rick Carter, a trial lawyer and martial artist. The courtroom has emotional and intellectual stress, and the dojo and fight ring has physical and psychological stress. It was to handle these stresses that STRESS JUDO was developed, to give you a fighting chance against stress, to turn stressful situations into opportunities.

My favorite moment of 2009 was the look of transformation on Simon Cowell's face when Susan Boyle first sang on "Britain's Got Talent."  If you don't know what I am talking about, go to YouTube and search for these terms and watch the video.  It's about 7 minutes long, but totally worth it.

But not only the look on his face (although you rarely see somone turn into a Believer right before your eyes!).  Look at what stress management strategies Susan Boyle used to get through this.   Here was a woman who apparently had never sang in public before - at least not to such a large audience.  Yet she did not suffer an anxiety attack, nor any anxiety attack symptoms like tightness in chest with anxiety.  In fact, she knew what to do to releive stress: attack and control the situation.

Ms. Boyle's stress management anxiety reduction plan was simple: sidestep the stress. Sing the song, as best and as perfectly as she was able.  Oh, and she did it so beautifully!

This is not a pitch for her CD (although I have it, and it's wonderful).  It's an example of how the principles taught in STRESS JUDO can help you to turn stressful situations into opportuinities. By the way: Ms. Boyle is not a STRESS JUDO student and she does not endorse the program (she probably has not heard of it).  But the principles taught in STRESS JUDO are the most effective to destroy stress in your life, so it is not surprising that we can find examples of it appearing throughout the news of the day.

(hint: yes, it does)
This past summer, my family and I went to see "A Night At The Museum: Battle Of The Smithsonian."  It was HILARIOUS!  Hank Azzaria created a really unique character.  Ben Stiller was his usual deadpan comedic self.  And who knew Amelia Earhart had the best legs in history??? 
The plot of the movie involves a magic tablet that makes the characters and exhibits in the museum come to life.   Ben Stiller has to keep the tablet away from an evil Egyptian pharaoh, so there's lots of chase scenes and hide-and-seek with the bad guys.  And a lot of Amelia Earhart (seriously.  Amy Adams makes flygirl adventurer look damn good).
So what does this have to do with STRESS JUDO?  Well, the movie desmonstrates several of the components of the system:
1. Creative problem solving.  This is usually the key to a good action-comedy like this.  The way the hero or heroine comes up with creative ways to get out of trouble.
2. Teamwork.  Ben Stiller gathers quite the team around him, and each person - and monkey - has a role to play in the eventual outcome.
3. Time Management and Goal Setting.  Hank Azzaria puts Ben Stiller in a situation where he has 1 hour to accomplish a task.  Now, while he is running all over the Smithsonian trying to solve this task, Amelia Earhart gets pretty frisky.  Ben stays focused on the task at hand. Which, when you see Amelia walk away from the camera, took a hell of a lot of discipline.
4. Self-examination.  At various points, each character engages in some self-examination that prepares them to better deal with the stress - even George Custer.
5. Cute monkeys.  OKay, this is not part of STRESS JUDO - strictly speaking.  But the monkeys really are cute.
 
I am willing to bet that the writers and producers of "ANight At The Museum" have never heard or read of STRESS JUDO. However, I am equally sure that, if you asked them how the character is intended to handle the stress situations he is placed in - they would respond with all 12 components of STRESS JUDO.

(hint: yes, it does)
Everywhere you look, someone is offering stress management tips.  And most of them are all the same.  But have you ever thought about whether these tips are good or bad?  Whether they actually work or are just parroting what someone wrote?  Whether they will actually relieve the stress in your life or make it worse?
Here are the top 5 worst tips on stress management usually seen on the web:
  1. Take a long walk.  Almost every site recommends this.  But they recommend this as is.  In other words, just walk away from the stress for a while. So what%u2019s the problem?  The stress is still there when you get back! And now you have just wasted time that you could be dealing with it!  If you are going to walk away from stress, then either use the time to clear your mind and recharge your energy, or to think about solving the stress problem in an undistracted environment.
  2. Meditate.  Now, don%u2019t get me wrong.  Meditation is a vital part of stress management.  But just to say meditate, without anything else, is like saying just run your fingers up and down the key board and you%u2019ll be playing the piano!  Try several mediation systems and find the one that fits you best THEN %u2013 meditate.
  3. Practice visualization.   What are you visualizing?  Your heart attack as the effects of stress on your body wear you down?  Looking for a new job after you get fired for not staying cool under the pressure?  This tip should be practice visualizing YOUR SOLUTION to the stress.
  4. Don%u2019t eat comfort foods.  Staying fit and healthy is an extremely important component of managing stress.  But look at all the above tips.  Taken on their own, each one of them makes you feel better inside.   But now you are told not to eat foods hat make you feel better? What the---?  Eat comfort foods in moderation.   Feel good while you are attacking stress.
  5. Stay calm.  Come again?   What people call stress is really their bad internal reaction to stress.  So telling someone who doesn%u2019t know how to react properly to stress to stay calm is like telling someone who can%u2019t swim not to drown.  You will be calm under stress when you have the confidence of knowing you can react to stress.
The problem with these tips is that they are surface level.  They don%u2019t go far enough.  They don%u2019t relieve the stress.  They just make you feel better %u2013 temporarily %u2013 inside, while the stress continues to give you an anxiety attack.
Learn to attack the stress.  Find a program that teaches you to get rid of the stress, not just handle it.  Focus on tackling stress head-on and tossing it out of the way, instead of focusing only on yourself and your feelings about it.  Stress doesn%u2019t care how you feel and stress won%u2019t become less just because you can picture a happy place.

Stress is a necessary part of life.  Stress, in a positive form, lets you know that you are challenging your own limits, like when you strain to lift 10 more pounds or push yourself to finish a project before the deadline.  Stress, in a negative form, wears down your physical and emotional systems.  So stress management strategies are sought after by everyone.
 
Stress management anxiety reduction is used by most people mainly to relieve the physical symptoms of anxiety attacks.  Because these physical symptoms will only distract you from, and weaken you in, battling the stressor that is causing the anxiety.  And it is only by eliminating the stressor that you can finally end the headaches, feeling of nervousness, and constant chest tightness from anxiety that is so harmful to you.

Let%u2019s look at ten tips for stress management:
  1. Define the problem causing the stress. Make your definition concrete, so that even another person would be able to recognize it.
  2. Use creative problem solving to think of as many ways to attack it as possible.  The bad health effects of stress are due mainly to your body%u2019s %u201Cfight or flight%u201D reaction to stress.
  3. Select the most practical plans under the circumstances. Finding the magic wand is a solution %u2013 just not a practical one.
  4. Develop specific goals to achieve under your plan.
  5. Develop specific steps to achieve each goal.
  6. Place a definite time limit on each step, by either allocating a specific amount of time to it or a deadline it must be achieved by.
  7. Eliminate all other non-priority tasks and interruptions.
  8. Take a few deep breathes, to focus and re-center yourself.
  9. Take one concrete specific action toward step 1 of your first goal.
  10. Assess the results.

These 10 tips sound pretty common-sense.  But the key is to do them under stress.  Anyone can breath deeply or identify the stressor or even come up with a plan to attack the stressor.  Some systems calling themselves stress management strategies are built around one or two of these.  But these ten tips for stress management, all performed by you under stress, are your ticket to comprehensive stress management anxiety reduction.
 
There are, of course, other ways to reduce the physical symptoms of anxiety attacks and you should talk to your doctor about these.  Medications or therapies may be necessary for some people.  You also cannot discount the fact that your constant chest tightness from anxiety might also be a heart attack!  So consult with your doctor before and during any stress or anxiety situation.

(hint: yes, it does)
The easiest way to come to management's attention is to melt down during a crisis. Or to say the wrong thing to the wrong person, just because you are having stress at home and you carry it over into the workplace. All of your good accomplishments, goals attained, co-worker respect - all gone in one fleeting moment. All because you didn't know what to do to relieve stress.
Here are 5 ways to gain respect at work by being able to handle stress, specifically by managing your time better.
1. Have clear and defendable priorities. By being able to set your priorities, you are much more likely to achieve the most important items first. Also, being able to defend working on a priority, instead of working on a distraction, will allow you to accomplish more, in less time, and with less stress.
2. Have definite and defined short term, medium term, and long term goals. By being able to set specific deadlines for your goals, you can more easily decide the order in which your work needs to be done.
3. Have time in your schedule to handle stress. A good time management system will have gaps between appointments, and time allotted to pondering and thinking.
4. Have a tracking system for items you have delegated. Delegating work allows it to be done in parallel with what you are working on. So your efforts are doubled or tripled. You become more valuable by being able to get more accomplished.
5. Have time to rejuvenate. All your good intentions and skill aren't worth beans if you don't have the energy to accomplish them, Your time management system should have time built in to focus on yourself.
Most stress management articles and books aim to answer the question of how does stress affect health. And with good reason. Stress not handled properly can kill or cripple you. But stress unhandled can also kill your career.
One of the most respected qualities that management is looking for in choosing who to promote or who to give responsibility to, is the ability to remain calm under pressure. The ability to handle the day-to-day stress of the workplace, and to handle the sudden unexpected crises that always pop up. By having a quality time management system, you can more easily handle stress. By handling stress at work, you are much more likely to receive more promotions, more recognition for your skills, and the respect of your co-workers and management. Your time management system should fit in with the other components of your stress management system, like goal setting, keeping fit, creative thinking, and the 8 other components.
