HeartMath


Stress has become the number one malady of our time. (Frazzled Dad says, " I am sure you can agree to that!)

The constant pressure associated with living in the fast-paced world has created an environment where nearly everyone is suffering from excessive stress. (Too much adrenaline and cortisol)

Stress is the body and mind's response to any pressure that disrupts its normal balance. (And it happens in 1/18th second!)

It occurs when our perception of events doesn't meet our expectations and we are unable to manage our reaction. (Perceptions happen fast, as sound waves strike our ear drums, photons pass through the lens, smells and tastes are processed and the pressure of touch is interpreted)

Change, illness, injury or career and lifestyle changes, are common causes of stress, however, it's the pressure and tension we feel in response to the little everyday hassles -- like rush hour traffic, waiting in line, and too many e-mails -- that do the damage. (You know you cannot delete even one e-mail.)

We look at outside events as the source of stress, but in fact stress is really caused by our emotional reactions to events. (Internal!)

The fact is you can't eliminate stress from your life, but you can learn how to manage it and reverse the damage it can cause.

Frazzled Dad believes this to be true. Learning HeartMath feels good. Please try it. I can make this happen inside my body any time. Every stop light becomes a chance to relax. Long lines and bureauocracy become chances to relieve pressure, internal pressure. In fact, I am listening to the crickets play their August song as I write this. What a cool thing to focus on, rather than the broken link I managed to create just now. Frazzled Dad Mike
