Causes of Stress

2016-05-17T03:53:00.001-07:00

In order to eliminate or at least control stress, it is vital to know and understand the causes of stress. Of course, there are many causes of stress and they are as varied as the people who suffer from stress, but there are a few places to look first. And by learning about these causes of stress, you can figure out where stress is entering your life.

One of the most common, and most complained about, causes of stress is work. However, it is not only the day-to-day tasks and routine pressures of work that can lead to stress. In fact, the mere concern about keeping a job can be a source of stress. Unfortunately, the combined stress of both work itself and the possibility of losing it creates a sort of double-stress in which people feel they have to work even harder in order to keep their jobs, making the stress that much worse.

As well, for those who have not entered the working world yet, school can be a great source of stress. The constant pressure of schoolwork, friends, teachers, tests, quizzes, papers, and everything else can be enough to make anyone feel like they are in trapped in a vice. In addition, the deadlines are all immoveable, so students are constantly under time pressure. And, to make matters worse, there are often several deadlines overlapping each other, intensifying the demands on time. Then, once final exams arrive, there is a lot to re-learn and students need to spend so much time studying that they can barely sleep. Needless to say, losing sleep does not help people who are under stress. Thus, students need to manage stress just as much as people who work.

Another cause of stress is simple family life. Unfortunately, though we hope that our home lives can be sources of relief from daily stress, they can often be sources of stress all their own. For childen as well as parents and spouses, the home can often be its own source of pressure.

For parents, stress can often come from simply worrying about their children. After all, seeing a child grow up, make mistakes, go through school, go to college, play sports, and often learn things to hard way is enough to make a parent tear their hair out. Thus, despite the joy that children can bring, they can also be causes of stress and worry.

Unfortunately, parents can be causes of stress also. Though they often have their childrens' best interests in mind, they can also put a lot of pressure onto their children, causing them to worry not only about school or life, but also how their parents will react when they hear about some new event, success, or error. It is as though there is no place to turn when things go wrong, creating extra stress. No, it is not easy being a parent, but it isn't always easy being a child or a teenager either, since parents can often be causes of stress as much as sources of comfort from it.

On top of that, spouses can also be causes on stress. Let's face it, husbands and wives often have expectations of their significant others and it is not always easy to live up to those expectations. As well, spouses often spend a lot of time avoiding certain arguments simply because they are trying to avoid stress. However, leaving tension in the air while not resolving it can be a cause of stress.

Money is also a major cause of stress, simply for the fact that there never seems to be enough of it. Thus, as the money keeps going out but it never seems to come in enough, stress just keeps mounting. Unfortunately, spouses, children and sometimes parents can often remind us of our shortfalls and they will often increase the stress. Of course, that is to say nothing of the continual reminders from the mortgage or rent, car payments, credit cards and other bills. And, furthermore, it is rather difficult to be philosophical about money stress since attempting to put things into perspective only recalls thoughts about the money that always seems to be missing. Thus, money stress just keeps piling up higher and higher and there never seems to be a way out.

Though this is only a partial list of all the possible causes of stress, these are some of the most common sources. However, no matter where the problem is arising, stress will not make them better. Rather, stress will only make it harder for people to think about their problems and try to solve them. Thus, in order to solve the problems that lead to stress, the best place to start is by managing the stress, then working to solve the problems with a clear and uncluttered mind.

Make your trip to New Delhi

2016-04-27T10:29:00.002-07:00

New Delhi Hotels

Navigate colorful and crowded bazaars teeming with customers and flamboyant hawkers, marvel at the modernity of the delightful Lotus Temple, or gaze in awe at the magnificence of the elaborate Akshardham, an ornate Hindu temple complex of sandstone and marble that tops most travelers ‘must-do’ lists. Whatever you’re in New Delhi to see, there is a multitude of delights hidden between its chaotic and thrilling streets.

It’s all about fun at the extravagant Kingdom of Dreams, a sprawling entertainment district on the very edge of New Delhi. Themed streets, imaginary starlit skies, elaborate golden palaces adorned with statuettes of sacred elephants, and bustling bazaars with garish stalls are all brought together in a dramatic theme park-style tourist. Over at Connaught Place, expensive retail and business buildings fill the core of the city, a hub for commercial enterprise and government decision making. From its tallest buildings you can see the instantly recognizable circle of Central Park, with its landscaped lawns and colorful flowerbeds. On the other side of the city, the unusual triangular façade of the Pragati Maidan exhibition center sits just off the Mahatma Gandhi Road, home to trade fairs, musical extravaganzas, and cultural events. While over at the cramped streets of the Karol Bagh district, garish market stalls fill an indoor bazaar, laden with decorative slippers, flamboyant batiks, and an overwhelming aroma of freshly ground spice.

Hotels in New Delhi

You can find hotels in New Delhi for any budget, as long as you choose your destination wisely. At the heart of the city, where the high-powered business principles of Connaught Place meet the artistic soul of the Mandi House district, you’ll find an abundance of luxury hotels housed in historic buildings, or occupying the rising floors of towering modern edifices. If you’re prepared to pay more for a luxury hotel in New Delhi, you’ll enjoy contemporary furniture, extra floor space, and access to amenities from fine-dining restaurants to decadent spas. If you prefer traveling on a budget, head just outside the city center to some of the less touristy districts, where comfortable inns provide spacious rooms, private bathrooms, and occasionally WiFi for free.

Where to stay

Central Delhi is where the city does business, amid a wall of high rise buildings that demonstrate their power the higher they climb above their neighbors. In South Delhi, the skyline is less dramatic, with sprawling residential districts that have grown from previously independent villages, and towns. It’s a hotbed for tourism, and amid the hotels in New Delhi that thrive here are its most popular attractions, from the Asola Wildlife Sanctuary to the madcap lanes of the Lajpat Nagar market. Over at the district of Karol Bagh, busy shopping streets like the Amjal Khan Road are every bit as cramped as other New Delhi streets, but distinctly less native-Indian thanks to the build-up of fast food restaurants, and trendy teenage stores.

How to get to New Delhi

The Indira Gandhi International Airport sits in the city suburbs, just south of the center. It’s connected to the rest of New Delhi by an impressive local rail and bus transport system that can drop visitors off in most suburbs of the city. Getting around the busy city streets themselves is easiest on foot, and the madcap traffic of central New Delhi streets is off-putting to most drivers. Taxis are available from most hotels if you do want to get further afield.

Tip: Some brands of rice milk may contain gluten. Gluten-free brands include Pacific Natural Foods or 365 Organic.

6 Simple Meditation Techniques

2016-03-26T00:00:00.000-07:00

6 Simple Meditation Techniques

Every good meditation practice must begin with finding what and where works best for you. Remember, there is no right or wrong way to meditate.

All you need to begin is to find a comfortable seat, so experiment and try out different positions. Ideally, your back is straight and your spine is aligned. But it is not necessary to sit on the floor or even to cross your legs. If you're unable to sit for any length of time, find a propped lying down position — just try not to fall asleep!

Here are six simple methods to try, to help you begin your meditation practice today:

1. Guided meditations

There are hundreds of resources online that have a huge supply of guided meditations and music to help sooth your soul. Try perusing Google Play or iTunes or my newest favorite, Sound Cloud.

2. Candle Staring

If you have trouble focusing, you can light a candle and stare at it. Your attention will be held. If your mind races, just observe what it is doing and let those thoughts release.

3. Mantra

Repeating words over and over again, can help you find calm and focus. You can choose from a number of Sanskrit mantras like the Gayatri Mantra, which has meaning in its words and sounds, or you can even make up your own. It doesn't matter what you choose, just that you feel good about your choice.

4. Visualization

Another easy and down-to-earth meditation technique is to picture an idyllic being or setting in your mind. Focus on the picture and let yourself embellish it as much or as little as you need to.

5. Present Moment Meditation

Close your eyes and begin to focus on your breath. Take a few moments here then allow your focus to broaden to your body and the sensations that it's feeling. Now expand your focus to anything touching your body, noticing those sensations. Lastly, expand your awareness to everything you can hear and sense. Now reverse this process and come back, one step at a time to your breath.

6. Become the Observer

Focus on becoming the observer of your mind. Close your eyes and focus on the spot about an inch above of the spot between your eyebrows (Third Eye Chakra). Begin to watch what your mind and body are feeling, thinking and doing.

Home Remedies to Reduce Body Heat

2016-03-23T05:47:00.003-07:00

Body heat, also known as heat stress, is a common health problem caused by exposure to high temperatures. It occurs when the body is not able to cool itself enough to keep its temperature within the normal range of 36.5–37.5 degrees Celsius 97.7–99.5 degrees Fahrenheit. The body normally cools off by sweating, but sometimes sweating is not sufficient and the temperature keeps rising.

Factors like very hot and humid weather, spending too much time in the sun, wearing tight clothing, strenuous workouts or physical exercise and certain medical conditions may cause or worsen the problem.

Body heat is not a disease but it should not be taken lightly. If left untreated, it can develop into a heatstroke. Anyone can suffer from heat stress, but people over 65, babies and young children, pregnant and nursing mothers, and people who are physically unwell are at a higher risk.

Summer Hair Problems determined

2016-03-23T05:03:00.003-07:00

Summer may be a great time to show off our glowing tan, but without a doubt it is the most stressful time of the year for our hair. The sun and chlorine can react in unimaginable ways with our hair colour and deprive hair of its natural shine and softness.

1 Frizzy Hair: Fight frizz with the one thing it cannot live in the presence of: wetness. There are many anti-frizz products available; make sure to opt for high-moisture varieties.

2 losses Color: If you have just colored your hair and you don’t want the sun to lighten it to another shade, either wear a wide brimmed hat or invest in a good UVA/UVB hair protection product.

3 Dry/Damaged Hair: If your hair is dry or riddled with split ends, in addition to considering a trim, try a shampoo specifically created to repair the damage caused by the sun, wind, chlorine and salt water.

Are these yoga myths keeping you from getting into your best shape ever?

Myth #1: You have to do vigorous, grueling exercise to burn calories.

TRUTH: You can burn just as many calories (and even more fat) by doing yoga alone. When you do a series of yoga moves together, your body gets a great workout without wreaking havoc with your joints or leaving you out of breath. And you can burn just as many calories as jogging!

Myth #2: Yoga can’t help you lose weight.

TRUTH: Yoga can help you lose weight. Research proves people who do yoga weigh 19 pounds less on average. This could be because yoga lowers cortisol levels so you’re less likely to overeat or snack. Plus yoga is a great way to burn fat and calories (see myth #1)!

Myth #3: “No pain, no gain” is the rule when it comes to building muscle.

TRUTH: With yoga, you don’t have to lift weights because you lift your own body weight in many poses. This helps sculpt and tone your muscles while being gentle on your body. Plus the more muscle you build, the more you boost your metabolism…so you burn even more fat and calories
