Stress - It Can Be A Killer

Learn more about how to cope with stress and some new stress management techniques

Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays To All!

Things are a little nuts around here this morning. Little Tank tore through his presents like a twister through a corn field. Toy parts scattered everywhere, wrapping paper hanging from the ceiling fan, and Transformer robot figures hiding behind every cushion.

It's been fun. We especially love watching the Disney Christmas Parade, despite all the overly blatant Disney product plugs.

Now comes the roast beast. And then I hope to grab a chance for a workout before we go visit friends this evening. Have to do something to justify the holiday eating frenzy.

Attitude Is Key!

Found this video and I think it speaks volumes about the relationship between attitude and physical health. Most men and women typically deal with high levels of stress in their lives, whether it be at work, home or both.

Men especially, starting at an early age, are taught to internalize stress. Showing emotions, such as anxiety or fear, is discouraged lest a boy be labeled a "crybaby". This bottling up continues into manhood where the effects begin to impact health and mental well being.

Pent up feelings accumulate over time and can manifest into harmful changes in the body, including heart irregularities, stomach disorders and neural deterioration.
