Financial Stress Relief

November 17th, 2008

Today’s economic conditions call for some financial stress relief.  The current state of the economy is due to excesses of lifestyle and government spending out of control.  We need to get back to fiscal conservatism both personally and governmentally.  By not living on the edge financially, we could avoid much of todays fiscal woes and stresses.  Personal and government responsibility must be acknowledged if we are to overcome the irresponsible mess we have created.

Personally we should all be debt free except for a mortgage.  We should have a significant reserve fund to weather unexpected expenses and job layoffs - nothing is guaranteed.  Taking the equity out of one’s house is a bad financial move.  Expecting an unending rise in the housing market is just plain ignorant.  Credit card debt and excesses not paid for in cash are all ingredients to a financial meltdown.  We must take responsibility and make positive inroads to owning up to and paying off our debts.

What we can do:

  • Stop buying on credit - pay cash or you can’t afford it
  • Stop pulling equity out of our homes for toys and excesses
  • Live within a budget, apply the rest to debt and reserve
  • You don’t need a new car payment - hang on to car longer
  • Don’t try to keep up with the Jones
  • Stop buying expensive non-necessities
  • $100+ cable - pare down services
  • $100+ cell phone service necessary?
  • $5 coffee drinks necessary?
  • Eat out less, pack a lunch for work

Interest payments will consume your wealth with not much to show for it.  Buckle down and live frugally until you have taken control of your finances, that is the best financial stress relief you can have.  Write down every dollar you spend for a month and you will be amazed how much you are pissing away.  Take the savings from the above list and apply it to your debts.  You will be amazed how fast you can make inroads on paying off your debts.

Our government is not a good example of responsibly handling money.  Fiscal responsibility is needed here more than ever.  Throwing money every which way to buy votes is wreckless at best.  Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac are the 2 social engineering projects that created the largest part of the mess our economy is in - sub-prime mortgages.  Banks were forced into lowering credit standards for loans to people who had no ability to make the payments.  Political correctness overrode sensibility and now we are ALL stuck with the bill.

The financial mess is manageable on a personal level and governmental level.  It takes living within our means and sticking to a budget.  Currently our government is spending money like drunken sailors (sorry sailors, no disrespect intended - just a well known analogy) on bail outs.  The way capitalism works is to reward the efficient, resourceful and creators and let the inefficient go out of business and the corrupt to jail.

So a financial stress reduction is in order.  Take ownership, take action and make it happen.

Stress Reducer Desktop

September 8th, 2008

 

Turn your computer into a stress reducer desktop. There is a relatively new technology which enables anyone with a computer to relieve stress, release post traumatic stress disorder - PTSD, relieve anxiety and panic attacks. It consists of a wireless, dry EEG device that interfaces with software that IS the Release Technique / Abundance Course. These are powerful mind science techniques that lead you through an easy to follow guided session. It is effortless and simple to use.

Developed by mind scientists from Stanford and MIT, this neuro feedback solution gets rid of the negative emotions buried in your subconscious. This “garbage” is what holds people back from achieving their goals and desires. It is also this “garbage” that brings about low self esteem issues, panic attacks and general anxiety and many other negative issues. Once removed, these issues are gone once and for all.

This is achieved by identifiying the “garbage” buried in your subconscious mind and “releasing it”. This release removes the negative thought or memory and the attached powerful emotion. It is the release of the emotion that you physically feel. The emotion is what gives it power. A traumatic experience may be too overwhelming for the psyche to handle or deal with so the memory is buried in the subconscious. It never goes away and will periodically re-surface and cause pain, discomfort, anxiety, panic… even though you don’t know what is causing this.

The EEG headband communicates with the computer program through a wireless USB antenna (everything is included). The program talks you through guided sessions, it does all the work, you simply listen and follow along. It is absolutely foolproof. This is the easiest, most effective mind tool around. It has even been introduced to the United Nations assembly for it’s groundbreaking human potential abilities.

If you have ever read a self improvement book or taken a self improvement course and it didn’t work - it may be the “garbage” buried in your subconscious that is holding you back from your true and full potential. Have you ever experienced unpleasant feelings and you didn’t know why? It’s your subconscious memories surfacing with their attached emotions. Now you know and now you have the answer available to you.

This personalized EEG technology has finally achieved a price point that puts it in most people’s reach. This technology, prior to this implementation would have cost tens of thousands of dollars. It is currently available for half price, if you select the correct link. Originally $2,395 - it is now available for $1,295 - 30 day risk free trial. Make sure you select the $1,295 link unless you want to pay double.

Political Stress

September 1st, 2008

Political Stress - I am going to try and stay neutral as far as not sharing my political view. One thing this presidential election and conventions has done is raise my stress levels when I hear fabrications, lies, partial facts, race baiting and “simpleton” knee jerk ads that people are supposed to buy into. The scarey thing is, people are buyng into this crap.

The average citizen gathers there political knowledge from politically biased newspapers and television. The media outlets are trying to push their agendas by “choosing” what to report on, throwing in their biased slants and stating false facts. Figures lie and liars figure…

I am hoping the majority wakes up and bases their vote on deeds, accomplishments, track records and how the candidates have voted on bills before them. Again, without pushing my views, the previously stated quantifiers make this a simple decision. Who have these candidates been associated with?

I am not buying the knee jerk “big oil is evil” crap either. If you can provide oil cheaper than “big oil” can, why wouldn’t someone be doing it? I have a brilliant idea, lets tax them more, that will show them. You think that will lower oil prices? Don’t be a dumb ass. Companies and corporations don’t pay taxes. In order for them to survive, they must make a profit. Any tax placed on a company is passed to the consumer. How can the USA compete globally if we are bridling ours companies with the second highest corporate tax IN THE WORLD. Other countries are SUBSIDIZING their companies. Gee, I wonder why corporations are going “offshore”? You think it might be the TAXES?

This is frustrating as hell to me. I find myself ripping at the idiots on the “boob tube” over there stupid ass statements and obvious political slant. I stopped reading the newspapers all together. Their headlines are infantile in their accusations - WE ARE NOT ALL IDIOTS. Some of us have the ability to think (you cannot tell us what to think). I guess the media stresses me out also. When you combine the two, politics and media - stress levels through the roof.

Ok, I feel less stressed now that I had a chance to vent. Make an educated decision when it comes to vote. Think for yourself and cast a decent vote.

Blog Stress

August 4th, 2008

I just experienced a new type of stress, blog stress. The last 2 days I have been trying new hosting companies, changing domain name servers, waiting for them to propagate across the Internet, upgrading and falling back on WordPress levels, trying new themes… Way too many variables.

For 2 days this blog has been marginally available at best. I have been struggling with one of my hosting companies over response times… (their server hosts this blog). If you want gray hair, this is what you want to be doing. My adventures are not over yet, but at least the blog is online.

Well I guess I am using a very popular stressreducer here, venting. Prior to writing this and letting go of some stream, I found myself doing a lot of deep breathing (another stress reliever) and took a couple walks and had a couple of beers. It’s better than punching or tossing my computer (cheaper too).

This experience just reinforces my need to have stress management techniques for times like these. If you are a blogger or a webmaster, you know what I am talking about. So keep these stressreducer techniques in mind. They work!

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder - PTSD

July 1st, 2008

A common sense approach to Post Traumatic Stress Disorder - PTSD. What is Post Traumatic Stress Disorder or PTSD? Sometimes referred to as Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome or PTSS. It is a powerful memory or impression in one’s subconscious mind (memory) with a powerful emotion attached. The combination of a powerful memory with the attached powerful emotion is what makes this so impactful to one’s life. Sometimes the event is so disturbing that the conscious mind will bury the memory so it cannot be consciously recalled to protect the psyche from overwhelming pain and emotion. All things are recorded in the subconscious mind and whether or not they can be consciously recalled, they are still there and have the same impact to the individual. The memory will keep surfacing until resolved. The event is so traumatic that the conscious mind is unable to process - at the time of the event or upon re-surfacing. The psyche will defend itself by denial, disassociation, “going to another place” alternative de-stressing behaviors such as alcohol or drugs… To alleviate PTSD it must first be identified, the event brought to the conscious and the memory and emotion “released”. The emotion actually has a physical feeling associated with it and that is how you “feel” the “release” working. The process may take time, but the “unease” associated with the traumatic event gradually disappears. Talking about it (therapy/counseling), helps identify the issue but does nothing to relieve it - it may even reinforce the trauma making it stronger. That is why the natural response is to ignore or not want to talk about it. This is only half of the solution. The Release Technique was discovered by Lester Levenson, a dying 42 year old physicist who despite all his knowledge and success, had destroyed his health by stress. Harvard, Columbia, Princeton and UCLA Universities researchers validate effectiveness of Release Technique Program. Another company expanded upon this mind technology and created a hardware / software solution that provides real-time biofeedback via an EEG (brainwave measurements) wireless sensor and computer program which charts your progress. Another benefit of this hardware / software solution is a built in guided session which makes the process easy to follow and almost effortless. The EEG provides the proof of your progress. For additional information on this amazing solution. click here for Release Meter information This information is provided as my opinion as to potential applications toward dealing with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder or PTSD. Investigate the links yourself and see if you agree about the positive application of this technology towards PTSD.

Panic Attack and Stress Management

June 23rd, 2008

Panic attacks can be debilitating to those affected. Some are afraid to leave their house for fear of “losing it” in public. The fear of losing it in public multiplies the the anxiety and feeds this viscous circle. Like a microphone and an amplifier caught in a feedback loop, where the sound from the amplifier is picked up by the microphone and gets louder and louder until something blows (a fuse or the amplifier).

Panic attacks and anxiety are both negative thought processes that like the feedback loop example above, feed and strengthen the bad thought process. It is an irrational thought pattern that serves no purpose - it is an un-truth similar to a phobia which is an exaggerated fear.

How one gets caught up in these bad thought processes varies, but to break free requires:

* Identify the bad thought pattern
* Identify what feeds it and stop it
* Cease all negative self talk
* Program positive thoughts in your subconscious

* Desensitize “what” makes you panic (baby steps)

Lets say you panic in social situations. Generally it’s source is low self esteem or other self destructive pattern. Always cutting yourself down or listening to and believing others cutting you down especially when a strong emotion is attached will eventually have you believe it. As far as the desensitizing, you have to face your fears a little bit at a time. Myself, I was arachnophobic until my twisted family bought me a tarantula for my 35th birthday. It took me a month and a night after bowling (and a couple of pitchers of beer), but I held the tarantula! The tough part was doing it sober, but I did it - a little bit at a time.

Panic attacks are negative patterns repeated over and over until they have validity. The subconscious does not know the difference between real or imagined - they have the same impact. So whatever you feed your subconscious, your subconscious will “make it so”. The subconscious remembers everything, real and imagined or false.

The subconscious does not “think or judge” it simply stores everything, good and bad. You reap what you sow. Garbage in, garbage out as we say in the computer programming world. This applies to your subconscious also. That is why it is important to control your self talk. Avoid saying anything negative about yourself. Only allow positive words and thoughts to come out of your mouth or exist in your thoughts. If you catch yourself saying or thinking something negative, stop it right there.

It is important to feed your subconscious with only positive self talk. If someone says something negative about you, say to yourself that is only their opinion and it isn’t true. Ever notice someone who is perceived as clumsy, often say out loud “I am so clumsy” or “I have always been clumsy”. These negative affirmations just reinforce being clumsy to the subconscious mind. The subconscious follows orders and makes it so.

This is the same concept as in manifestation. What you focus on becomes your reality. It is a little more complicated than that but essentially the same. you can focus on the negative and you will receive negative or focus on the positive and receive good things. If you focus on wealth, achieving wealth and the activities that contribute to wealth - you will attain it. If you focus on the lack of wealth, being of the “victim mindset”, you will achieve “lack of wealth” and you will be “a victim”.

There can be chemical imbalances in the brain, but is it any wonder when we feed ourselves nutritionally devoid foods, load up on toxic preservatives, artificial colorings, pesticides, herbicides, artificial fats and oils, sugars, high fructose corn syrup, poisonous sugar substitutes… It’s a wonder our bodies hold out as well as they do. This toxic overload alters normal bodily processes and creates a storm of free radicals damaging our DNA!

Alcohol, smoking, pollution, lack of fiber, poison sodas, fake sugars, fake fats and oils, “low fat”, processed foods, homogenized, pasteurized… are just some of the abominations to our diets, in other words “frankenfoods”. Is mankind smarter than our creator? Does mankind “improve upon our food supply with “science”? We have stripped nutrition from our foods. The vitamins, minerals, enzymes - all gone. It’s no wonder our minds aren’t right when we are running high performance race cars on kerosene.

Nutrition will affect brain chemistry so don’t stack the deck against yourself, take care of your body (and mind) - eat to live, don’t live to eat. Get in a healthy diet lifestyle and get some exercise. Enough about nutrition in regards to panic attacks and anxiety (one last thing though, caffeine and sugar highs and drugs are all bad ingredients for anxiety - there, I’m done).

Hypnosis can aid in releasing bad memories, inserting positive thoughts and aid in establishing a positive mindset. It does this by bypassing you conscious mind and its “thinking and judgment” which may be sabotaging what you are attempting to achieve. Subliminal sound and video can flood your subconscious with positive thoughts and affirmations which will outnumber your negative thoughts and become the predominant mindset. “Releasing” will aid in getting rid of garbage negative thoughts (and associated negative emotions) and allow you to progress towards your goals - any and all goals.

This is not the typical psycho-babble or Oprahfication you may have been expecting, but it goes beyond “theory” and “talking” about it and is a bit more action oriented. Remember, psychology is not a proven science - it is merely theories, and look how far years of therapy get people - not very far.

To get to the “root” of the issue(s), investigate this hardware / software tool I use with my PC.
