      Stress Relief and Methods to Do So - Martin Ettington

      12.0 Bibliography

      1.0 Introduction

      We all have stress in our lives. I’ve had some stressful events like everyone else. What types of things stressed me the most in my life?

      My divorce—I had a really crazy ex-wife who insisted on a very expensive and years long divorce mixed with lots of trip to court.

      My open heart surgery—I had serious problems with my aortic valve and was within months of dying until I had surgery to replace the valve. It was a miraculous event in my life.

      Going Broke—As a result of my divorce and contract work in IT ending I was in financial trouble. Worth nearly two million in 2009, I ended up filing for personal bankruptcy a few years ago.

      Starting new jobs-I was a contractor for many years and at each new job you have to prove yourself all over again.

      People have very different ideas with respect to their definition of stress. Probably the most common is, physical, mental, or emotional strain or tension. Another popular definition of stress is, a condition or feeling experienced when a person perceives that demands exceed the personal and social resources the individual is able to mobilize.

      Most people consider the definition of stress to be something that causes distress. However, stress is not always harmful since increased stress results in increased productivity. A definition of stress should also embrace this type of healthy stress, which is usually ignored when you ask someone about their definition of stress.

      Any definition of stress should also include good stress, or eustress. For example, winning a race or election is just as stressful as losing, or more so. A passionate kiss and contemplating what might follow is stressful, but hardly the same as having root canal work. Any definition of stress should similarly explain the difference between eustress and distress.

      The definition of stress for most people tends to focus on the negative feelings and emotions it produces. Almost every definition of stress also discusses certain resultant physical, physiological or biochemical responses that are experienced or observed.

      A very comprehensive definition of stress that includes these and more is the biopsychosocial model, which, as it name suggests, has three components. This definition of stress distinguishes between an external element, another that is internal, as well as a third that represents the interaction between these two factors.

      In this book we going into the history of stress, what it can do to your body, stories of people dealing with stress, natural supplements, and then a 90 day plan to start reducing stress in your life.

      2.0 The History of Stress

      In the past stress had a lot to do with War, hunting, and related physical activities. Live was very stressful and word didn’t even exist.

      It was not until the middle of the twentieth century that scientists and Western societies began to label the combination of physiological and psychological responses that people display when things are getting too much and out of balance as stress. However, stress is commonly understood as a universal mechanism that exists across times and cultures. In a certain sense, this universality claim is correct: the physiological and endocrinological mechanisms underlying the stress response are not a modern invention of our body. In another sense, the universality claim is potentially problematic: stress has become, but has not always been, a way to be a person. That is, the social practices, in which the physiological and endocrinological stress mechanisms are embedded, are not the same across times and cultures. Crucially, these social practices are not a negligible by-product, but form an essential part of the way stress is commonly understood and experienced. Against this background, one may still decide to use the word stress when speaking about other times and cultures. Nevertheless, one should at least be cautious when doing so for three reasons. First, using the word stress when referring to societies different from our own may create the impression of a similarity between then and now, which does not actually exist. Second, it may blind us to the nature of the differences between times and cultures. Third, it naturalizes a contemporary scientific concept, which is more adequately
