• How Dr. David Hunnicutt, President of WELCOA, left me speechless. (Or, why I wrote a book about Stress.)

    Updated: 2012-10-31 18:29:27
    I first met David Hunnicutt, the President of WELCOA at the American Journal of Health Promotion Conference in Hilton Head South Carolina. Dr. Hunnicutt was giving the keynote address and I was really impressed by it. I happened to bump into him the next day, and I introduced myself, told him a little about what I did, and I told him how much I liked his speech. A year later when I ran into him again at another conference, he surprised me by saying that he remembered meeting me the year before and that he planned on stopping by my booth the next day.

President , StressStop.com Monday , October 29th , 2012 Tweet Having lived through many hurricanes and recently through Hurricane Irene , I can tell you that the stress we are all feeling right now is different from the stress we might experience in a traffic jam , at work or in school . This is a kind of low-level stress that builds slowly and doesn't dissipate easily . Different from acute stress the more common variety which comes on fast and dissipates quickly , this stress slowly raises your blood pressure and heart rate and gradually increases muscle

  • Tend and Befriend Meets Fight or Flight

    Updated: 2012-10-31 18:29:27
    When I was growing up my parents constantly stressed the importance of going to college. That idea was pretty much drilled into my head from the day I started kindergarten. "You're not going to get into a good college with grades like that, Jimmy!" My mother would always say, even on some of my earliest report cards. So you can imagine the stress I put them under when, approximately eleven years later, it looked like I wasn't even going to graduate from high school.

    Updated: 2012-10-31 18:29:27
    If you've ever tried to limit your calorie intake you know how challenging it can be to give up your favorite desert or fattening treat. Sometimes we just want what we want and there is no stopping us. The unconscious mind often secretly drives these seemingly "uncontrollable" desires. This leaves your conscious mind wondering: why am I so weak?

  • How To Use Your Whole Brain: Redefining The Notion Of Who YOU Are

    Updated: 2012-10-31 18:29:27
    I learned something very interesting about the difference between my conscious mind and my unconscious mind while taking my 16-year old daughter to her first driver's education class. In order to sign her in and pay for the course, I needed to show her learner's permit, which my daughter had handed me moments before. When I saw her a few minutes later, naturally she asked for it back. I looked in my pockets and then in my wallet and it wasn't there. I asked the person at the registration desk and she didn't have it either.

  • Yoga and Chronic Pain

    Updated: 2012-10-31 18:29:27
    When I miss yoga for more than a week, a long running bout with chronic pain (which may have to do with an old case of Lyme disease) rears its ugly head. When this chronic pain first hits me I feel a low level ache that runs up and down the backs of my legs. Sometimes, if I let things go long enough, it radiates out into other areas of my body, like my hips. It's hard to describe exactly, except to say, that if I bend down with my legs straight and try to touch my toes the pain is often excruciating.

  • Stress, Multitasking and Attention Span

    Updated: 2012-10-31 18:29:27
    I've never been a fan of multitasking from a stress management perspective and as the result of reading an interesting article in Scientific American Mind Magazine on multitasking a few weeks ago, I've decided that my feeling about multitasking have been confirmed. "Effective multitasking is a myth. So, too, is the idea that members of the 'multitasking generation,' who grew up with video games, smart phones and e-readers, can somehow concentrate on several things at once. In fact, research indicates that frequent multitaskers are often the worst at it."
