Smack about Stress.

Smack is a mini-podcast in which I try to tackle topics with common sense and logical reasoning, without bad intentions or ulterior motives. If a take happens to align with any political, religious or other kind of ideology, that is purely coincidental. It will inevitably upset someone, but please hear me out and remain civil.

Find Your Zen | Reduce Your Stress | Balance Your Life

In today's fast-paced and chaotic world, stress has become an unwelcome yet frequent presence in our day-to-day lives, impacting our mind, body, spirit, and emotional well-being. Managing stress is not entirely about coping strategies but also involves a variety of lifestyle choices that can fundamentally transform our conditions. In this piece, I will delve into more than just stress reduction, for it's also about adopting a lifestyle where stress is manageable. So, let's begin on this journey to alleviate the effects of what is often termed our 'silent killer' – stress. In my personal experience and learnings, it always begins with a conscious decision and a buffet of trusted techniques that have served many ordinary people and great masters from diverse backgrounds since time immemorial

The Biochemical Perspective of Stress

Stress isn't just a feeling; it's a chemical reaction. When we encounter stressors, our bodies release hormones such as cortisol and adrenaline, triggering the 'fight-or-flight' response. This was helpful for our ancestors in the face of danger, but in our modern life, this response can become chronic, leading to detrimental health effects. Therefore, evaluating our activities, thoughts, and interactions based on the hormones they secrete is crucial.

He Who Has Begun Is Half Done

The road to a stress-free life begins with a pivotal step - adopting the right mindset. This involves a conscious acknowledgment and understanding of stress. Recognizing stress in its true form is essential. The approach is not merely reactive but it also involves a proactive stance in managing or preemptively addressing stress. The impact of stress is significantly shaped by individual perception and reaction. Viewing stress as a manageable challenge rather than an insurmountable threat can alter its effect. This mental framework is pivotal in transforming stress encounters from negative experiences to opportunities for growth and resilience. The focus is not only on coping but also on preventing the adverse impacts of stress through a mindset well-equipped to handle life’s pressures.

An Abundance Mindset

Adopting an abundance mindset is a significant strategy for managing stress, rooted in the belief that there's a sufficient supply of success, love, and resources available for everyone. This perspective is powerful in its simplicity; it requires a similar amount of energy to maintain an optimistic outlook as it harbours doubts. However, the key difference lies in the focus: this mindset encourages shifting attention from scarcity to the plentifulness of life's offerings. Embracing this view can effectively diminish stress and bolster overall well-being. It's a transformative approach that prompts individuals to appreciate and seek the abundance in their lives, fostering a sense of contentment and gratitude. Such a positive shift in perception not only alleviates stress but also enhances personal and professional relationships, leading to a more fulfilling life.

Frame of Mind Thinking

The frame of mind thinking involves being aware of and actively shaping your mental state, with logical and practical criteria for dealing with situations. It fundamentally suggests that perspective is better to have than a perception of things. One lets you see things for what they are from different points of view (POVs), while the other is influenced by opinion and prejudice, which can cause stress in events where imagination runs wild with what is perceived as negative or unfavourable. It’s also about choosing positivity and resilience in the face of challenges. This approach doesn't just alleviate stress; it transforms challenges into opportunities for growth. As the saying goes, "Every misfortune is a ladder to get to the next level."

Body, Spirit and Mindfulness

Mindfulness, a pivotal practice in personal and professional well-being, revolves around the art of being fully present and attentive to the moment. This technique involves a heightened awareness of our thoughts, emotions, physical sensations, and surroundings. Ironically, it encompasses being conscious of ourselves without being “self-conscious.” This nuanced awareness allows individuals to recognize early signs of stress and address them proactively. In the workplace, mindfulness can enhance focus, foster better decision-making, and contribute to a more productive and harmonious environment. It's a practice that alleviates stress but also enriches our quality of life.

Music Matters 

Music deeply influences our emotions. While it's tempting to drown our sorrows in sad tunes, they often exacerbate feelings of stress and sadness. Opting for uplifting, calming, or even silence can significantly impact our mood and stress levels. But then again, forget being told what to listen to. Tune into tracks that bring you equanimity. Have you ever tried those Solfeggio frequencies - 432Hz, 528Hz, 417Hz? They lend themselves to meditation music for your soul. It's about finding your rhythm, whether it's Beethoven or the Beatles. Have the right attitude that benefits you first. Raise your vibration to a level where you're happiest, and let the right music resonate with you.

The Sub-Zero Technique 

Now, about those cold plunges. Some say it's like the dopamine rush of cocaine – but let's be clear, it's a bit of an exaggeration (and much, much safer). Think of it as a chilly wake-up call for your body, minus any illicit side effects. Just a fun speculation, but hey, a cold shower never hurt anyone (as long as it's done safely)! An interesting observation is that since many people hesitate to try cold plunges, those who do are often viewed as brave, and this social validation could potentially provide an additional mood boost, reducing stress. It's a speculative but amusing thought.

Balance and Order from Chaos

Structured routines, balanced eating habits, and maintaining a work-life balance are fundamental to stress management. They provide control, clarity, and predictability, which is comforting in a chaotic and attention-deficit world. There is also a need for adequate and restful sleep so the body can repair itself, balance and settle down emotions and the brain consolidates memories. Additionally, regular strength and cardio exercises play a crucial role as stress relievers. They not only boost endorphin production to improve our mood but also help in managing the physical and psychological symptoms of stress

Finally

In this engaging pitch for a life-transforming concept, imagine your life as a captivating screenplay. You're the protagonist, grappling with stress — the main antagonist — manifesting in forms such as financial struggles, relationship issues, and personal trauma. This tale of self-discovery shows how overcoming personal flaws and obstacles leads to growth and fulfillment. Through this narrative, learn to adopt practical techniques and mindsets that resonate with your unique character. This story isn't just about battling stress; it's an inspiring journey toward finding balance and inner peace, making your life a masterpiece of resilience and the thrills of triumph. In the final scenes of life's many episodes, as you integrate these strategies into your lifestyle, a transformation unfolds. You steer your life towards serenity and balance, not just as a quick fix with a band-aid, but as a new way of living. A lifestyle. While one of many stories concludes, your life's journey continues, a testament to embracing life as your masterpiece.

You might feel alone in the world.

But you just gotta ask yourself

Why do you feel depressed?

Just be yourself!!

Don't worry; Do something!

If you define yourself by anything outside of you… who are you when it’s taken away? That’s what often leaves people feeling broken and lost… This is easy to see in ROLES we play: Someone lose a job where their title was what mattered to them… People put all their worth in being a mom but are lost when their kids go away to school… It happens on break ups all the time (and understandably so…) Athletes? Experience this all the time when transitioning out of sport. It’s also easy to see in things we HAVE: “I’m the girl/guy with the abs…” (reminder, bodies change with age) “I’m the one who always has great hair…” (What happens when we start to lose our hair?) If you live with this quote in mind, it will remind you to always keep exploring who you are, what your core values are, and allow you to still feel whole when things you value (things *outside of you* that you value) start to change… because inevitably, they will change. (This doesn’t mean we shouldn’t value things outside of us… it means we should realize that we are still whole when things outside of us change. We should expect it to happen…but how do we prepare ourselves?
