just temporary i guess so

hello there guys! missed talking to all of you. Honestly, I've been reading your messages but hard for me to send back reply..But i thanked you for leaving me such though i don't respond right away. The reason why i failed to update my blog and send you back my replies is that, i was busy with my work. It's pretty amazing that though i struggle so hard about the case I'm in right now, the smile in my face remained relax and genuine. haha! if i could just tell you everything happened, you will surely laugh and leave a heavy comments. Right now i chose not to tell every detail 'cause I'm good and still fighting. well, this post is a sort of relief to me.. though i can't say it all, i know from this writing you have an idea about what I'm feeling right now. well, hope to hear from you guys. thank you so much for visiting my very own profile. certainly i will visit yours too. muah muah.

DO YOU KNOW THAT... Stress can cause severe health problems and, in extreme cases, can cause death.

Stress Management Techniques

This section of Mind Tools helps you survive under the intense stress that can come with a challenging career.

This will help you to understand stress and what causes it: This is an important starting point for effective stress management. They introduce you to the three main approaches to stress management, and then shows you how you can identify the key sources of stress in your life.

We then look at a range of stress management techniques. Unlike some other approaches to stress management, the Mind Tools approach is, where possible, to tackle stress at source. This means that not only do we show you how to deal with the symptoms of stress, we show you how to deal with the underlying causes as well.

Physical Relaxation Techniques

• Deep Breathing, PMR and the Relaxation Response

Physical relaxation techniques are as effective as mental techniques in reducing stress. In fact, the best relaxation is achieved by using physical and mental techniques together.

These three useful physical relaxation techniques can help you reduce muscle tension and manage the effects of the fight-or-flight response on your body. This is particularly important if you need to think clearly and perform precisely when you are under pressure.

The techniques we will look at are Deep Breathing, Progressive Muscular Relaxation and “The Relaxation Response”.

Deep Breathing

Deep breathing is a simple, but very effective, method of relaxation. It is a core component of everything from the "take ten deep breaths" approach to calming someone down, right through to yoga relaxation and Zen meditation. It works well in conjunction with other relaxation techniques such as Progressive Muscular Relaxation, relaxation imagery and meditation to reduce stress.

To use the technique, take a number of deep breaths and relax your body further with each breath. That's all there is to it!

Progressive Muscular Relaxation

Progressive Muscular Relaxation is useful for relaxing your body when your muscles are tense.

The idea behind PMR is that you tense up a group of muscles so that they are as tightly contracted as possible. Hold them in a state of extreme tension for a few seconds. Then, relax the muscles normally. Then, consciously relax the muscles even further so that you are as relaxed as possible.

By tensing your muscles first, you will find that you are able to relax your muscles more than would be the case if you tried to relax your muscles directly.

Experiment with PMR by forming a fist, and clenching your hand as tight as you can for a few seconds. Relax your hand to its previous tension, and then consciously relax it again so that it is as loose as possible. You should feel deep relaxation in your hand muscles.

The Relaxation Response

‘The Relaxation Response’ is the name of a book published by Dr Herbert Benson of Harvard University in 1968. In a series of experiments into various popular meditation techniques, Dr Benson established that these techniques had a very real effect on reducing stress and controlling the fight-or-flight response. Direct effects included deep relaxation, slowed heartbeat and breathing, reduced oxygen consumption and increased skin resistance.

This is something that you can do for yourself by following these steps:

• Sit quietly and comfortably.
• Close your eyes.
• Start by relaxing the muscles of your feet and work up your body relaxing muscles.
• Focus your attention on your breathing.
• Breathe in deeply and then let your breath out. Count your breaths, and say the number of the breath as you let it out (this gives you something to do with your mind, helping you to avoid distraction).

Do this for ten or twenty minutes.

An even more potent alternative approach is to follow these steps, but to use relaxation imagery instead of counting breaths in step 5. Again, you can prove to yourself that this works using the biofeedback equipment.

S u m m a r y

“Deep Breathing,” “Progressive Muscular Relaxation,” and the steps leading to the “Relaxation Response” are three good techniques that can help you to relax your body and manage the symptoms of the fight-or-flight response.

These are particularly helpful for both handling nerves prior to an important performance, and reducing stress generally.

This is an excerpt from "Managing Stress for Career Success", the Mind Tools Stress Management Masterclass. These physical relaxation techniques are just some of the important skills that we explain. As well as explaining relaxation techniques, the Stress Management Masterclass shows you how to take action to tackle the root causes of job stress - a side-effect of this approach is that you become more effective and successful in your career.

Warning: Stress can cause severe health problems and, in extreme cases, can cause death. While these stress management techniques have been shown to have a positive effect on reducing stress, they are for guidance only, and readers should take the advice of suitably qualified health professionals if they have any concerns over stress-related illnesses or if stress is causing significant or persistent unhappiness. Health professionals should also be consulted before any major change in diet or levels of exercise.

time to reftect

Beginning today, treat everyone you meet as if they were going to be dead by midnight. Extend to them all the care, kindness and understanding you can muster, and do with no thought of any reward. Your life will never be the same again."

any comment with this quote?

It is one of the most beautiful compensations of life that no man can sincerely try to help another without helping himself."

how about this, how do you find this line?

+be brave everyone. remember that God loves us so much.. better to love your fellowmen as well as what he indicated in his commandment. LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR as yourself.

FOR YOU: empowering quotes

Do you want me to tell you something really subversive? Love is everything it's cracked up to be. That's why people are so cynical about it. It really is worth fighting for, being brave for, risking everything for. And the trouble is, if you don't risk anything, you risk even more."

What do you think?

Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow."

any comment?

Lets enjoy our life to the fullest.. Love and get hurt, get hurt and love again. :)

In the middle of every difficulty lies opportunity.

I do believe on such quote. Right now, I'm doing my job seriously. I have no one to depend on.. It's pretty hard for me act as if i worry nothing.. i don't have any choice at all though. Well, I'm glad since Mem nova is still working with me. All i have to do is to Buzz her and ask her so many questions.. i believe I could meet their expectations in time.. I just hope that the difficulties I'm experiencing right now would soon be turn into another opportunity.. I'd like to learn more. I'd like to work really hard not to impress anyone but to prove to myself that despite the weaknesses i possess, with determination, hard work and passion within me, i can survive. I believe i will.

Opportunity is missed by most because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.

tagged: Daddy's corner here

warmest goodbye...

Adieu NOVA


When you departed...
It was only a day.
Now it's some months.
Soon it will be years.
It's so hard to say good-bye.
Nevertheless, adieu.

The waves are calm already,
It echoes in our hearts.
There is so much to tell,
There is so much to share like we used to,
But where are you to listen?
Still I say adieu.

The memory torments,
Memories of the good, the bad and the ugly times,
Of the happy sad and bittersweet experiences we shared.
In trying to be brave, I say adieu,
Though in tears for the scars hurt.
