Stress and Mental and Emotional Health.
Written Exclusively for MyNutritionStore.com by Sarah. H. DeCamello 

Depression is one of the major disorders associated with a malfunction in the stress response. Constant anxiety and overreaction to stimulation can lead to a paradoxical response called learned helplessness, which causes victims to lose all motivation. Symptoms of depression include anxiety, loss of appetite, loss of sex drive, rapid heartbeat, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol and triglyceride levels. It is important to see your doctor or mental health professional if you suspect you may have depression. Other mental and emotional imbalances associated with stress include SAD or seasonal affective disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, anorexia nervosa, and substance abuse, including alcoholism and drug addiction.

Introduction:

Dear Friends,

I hope all is well. It has been a long time since I have typed a newsletter I really have not had the need till now. I am quite excited to write about all the good things going on in the world of Human Excellance in Life and Performance.

I am starting this newsletter on April 1^st, 2009. I also am bringing back the Warriors Edge it is time with so much going on that the Warriors Edge has discussions once a month to focus on skills and tips needed to become a professional warrior.

Let’s discuss what is a Warrior - One who is engaged in or experienced in battle. Or one who is engaged aggressively or energetically in an activity, cause, or conflict. We are warriors that are engaged in improving ourselves and our community.

We strive to be better than most people, we are unique and we must remember we study something that demands we operate on a higher level.

Please if you have anything to add to this newsletter let me know. I would love to hear about what topics you would like to see covered in here. I also would love to hear about all the good things going on in your lives. Let us focus on sharing and increasing each others knowledge and experience.

“Growing older is not upsetting; being perceived as old is.” – Kenny Rogers

Are you a can do person? I used to be pretty unsure of myself although I was never verbal about it. I always kept my “that’s impossible thoughts” to myself. I grew up in a chaotic home so to think something couldn’t be done. Meant I would have to give up and I knew I couldn’t do that I had to endure because one day I would be successful and I would be in charge of my destiny. I always looked at everything as a puzzle and there had to be a solution. How do you think? Are you the type of person that gives up?

Do you know the meaning of insanity? To do the same thing over and over again without any change. WOW think about your everyday how insane is it? I now believe more than ever when I listen to the story of Thomas the tank engine “I know I can” You can to. If you just keep at it. My teacher and I used to talk about how you became successful at what you did. My belief was you had to stay your course until the goal was achieved. Just like the engine I know I can. When you are younger you have lots of interest and try many things. As you get older or more experienced you hopefully start to trim away the excess and incorporate as a part of your lifestyle. The other thing we used to ponder is what is better being the tortoise or the hair. At the age I am now I am happy being the tortoise. When you go fast there are many things you miss. When you travel slowly and take your time you get to see the whole picture. My teacher’s words that have echoed with me for a very long time is that you have to master the menusha. The small things.

When you start to think you can’t maybe the task is just too big. How can you break it into chunks so that you can handle it easier? This is just one technique to create a can do attitude.

My NLP Coach was impressed when I first started with him. I was explaining to him how I teach people to run long distance. For those of you that don’t know my background. I used to do a lot of running. I used to run 12 miles every Sunday morning. Well when I first started I used to get to my 10^th mile and shut down. I had to come up with a way to finish. I used to pick landmarks and break the next two miles up into smaller distances. Here in theUSA we have lots of telephone poles. When I am teaching people how to run I have them just go telephone pole to telephone pole. To say the least my coach was very impressed. I had learned how to do a technique called chunking on my own. Start your can do attitude today.

For most people, when they think of hypnosis, their mind conjures an image of someone hypnotizing a group of people on a stage, and then making these people do embarrassing things. However, hypnosis is not just a stage show, there are many different forms of this skill. One of these forms is self hypnosis. How to use the skill is up to you, but if you want to have some ideas on things you can achieve through self hypnosis then read on.

Self hypnosis can be used in order to promote relaxation any time you are stressed. As an example, say you are always angry when you are driving. If you use self hypnosis, you can train your brain to be more relaxed on the road. Not only will you be more pleasant to drive with, but you will also enjoy driving with yourself more often than you do now.

Self hypnosis can also be used to help you manage your finances easier. If you have fallen into a bad habit of overspending or purchasing things on an impulse then self hypnosis can help you break free of those habits so that your money situation will improve.

Self hypnosis has commonly been used to help people quit smoking. You may have seen ads for this type of service online. If you smoke and want to quit, then this might be a very attractive option for you, especially if you have already tried several methods that haven't worked.

Using self hypnosis how-to's such as the ones found on rawhypnosis.com can help you achieve all of the above and more. You will be able to learn the art of hypnosis and use it in a way that helps you enjoy your life better.

1. Practice the skills you have learned as much as possible.
2. Research information and make educated decisions.
3. Do not look at the material as repetitive see if you can find something new in each movement. 

This should be a great month the ground is thawing out and summer will be on its way. Hopefully we will get to do some outdoor training. Personally my favorite thing to do.
