PeopleKeys Managing Stress Course: New Online Class Explores the Connection Between Stress and Personality Type

Boardman, Ohio (PRWEB) May 21, 2013

Recent data from the American Medical Association estimates that 43% adults have experienced negative effects on their health due to stress. The AMA similarly believe that the impact of stress is much more significant than many people realize, attributing 75% to 90% of all doctors visits to stress-related illnesses.

Stress is something that many Americans accept as a normal part of daily life. Unfortunately, left untreated stress can cause a great many ill-effects on a persons physical and emotional well-being. Serious medical conditions such as hypertension, chronic headache, depression, anxiety, asthma, diabetes, heart problems, stomach pain, and skin conditions are in many cases a direct product of excessive stress.

Currently, there are quite a few treatment options for individuals suffering from extreme chronic stress. Exercise, meditation, changes in diet, yoga, are all commonly suggested stress management techniques. Yet because individual physical and emotional responses to stress are so varied, blanket solutions like these are rarely effective for everyone. Rather than finding ways to treat the effects of stress, experts believe that it is better to focus on the root of the problem through understanding the situations that trigger stress in the first place.

Just as individual reactions to stress are so different, stress triggers also vary widely from person to person. Recent research from PeopleKeys shows that the most successful way to determine an individuals unique stress triggers is through an understanding of personality type. To that end, PeopleKeys recently announced the launch of their personality-based DISC Managing Stress Course.

The DISC Managing Stress Course can be taken online in under two hours, and provides powerful diagnostic tools for identifying a persons personality type, levels of stress, and stress triggers. The DISC Stress Management Course begins with a comprehensive personality test designed to identify the personality type of the test-taker. Once personality type has been determined, the Stress Management Couse provides insight into the ways that stress affects behavior, and provides clear and effective personality-driven strategies for preventing and managing stress. This is done with a personal stress evaluation, which allows participants to chart stress levels in ten key areas related to stress.

The course is interactive, and gages progress through short quizzes. As a preventative stress-management tool, the Managing Stress Course helps participants:

Facial Attraction Issue Skin Health Appeal to Combat Rising Stress Levels

Melbourne, Victoria (PRWEB) November 26, 2012

Melbourne based laser hair removal, acne treatment and skin specialists, Facial Attraction Laser and Skin Clinic, have issued a simple, yet emphatic health appeal - like a car, it is crucial to make time for regular skin checkups and have an effective home skincare routine to combat personal and environmental stressors. This follows the release of a study by Global workspace provider, Regus which found that 38 per cent of Australians studied have been impacted by increased stress in the last year, with almost 50 per cent citing personal finances or work-related issues such as long hours, heavy workloads and job insecurity as the leading cause.

As Dermal Clinician and Clinic Manager of a Facial Attraction Melbourne Laser Clinic, Kirsty Warren explains, While the skin is complicated, every mole, spot, bump and scale is in a very specific spot on your body due to numerous factors and this definitely includes your mental state.

So if youre like one of the Australians recently studied who have cited work and money as the top causes of stress it can show in your skin. Other factors include emotions like anger, guilt and hatred which all negatively impact your skin and body health, as well as environmental influences such as bad lighting, excessive sun exposure, pollution, poor water quality and damaging skin products. Not to mention diet which we believe to be the biggest contributor next to stress.

The team at Facial Attraction implore the public to look deeper into their skins imperfections - to view them as a warning sign as well as an indicator of what is happening beneath the surface.

As Ms Warren reveals, No one part of your body acts independently with another. In fact, most skin conditions are side effects of a bigger problem elsewhere in the body. So many systemic diseases have associated skin abnormalities, however this is not a generally accepted view from our medical community and therefore the widespread approach to skin conditions has been flawed.

Rather than addressing the causes of these problems, we are usually addressing symptoms like redness, flaking or swelling. A great example is acne. 99% of acne conditions are related to poor colon health yet a primary treatment for acne is antibiotics - one of the colons biggest toxins.

The Mediiskin Difference

The Mediiskincare range, available at Facial Attraction, has developed a strategy for transforming and correcting the skin that is based on science but is a paradigm shift from what most companies propose.

Mediiskincare products fit into the cosmeceutical category - a world apart from cosmetics which predominantly have no real benefit for the skin. In simple terms, the Mediiskincare range is essentially like a medicine or a tablet that is applied topically rather than being ingested.

The idea behind Mediiskincare is that we work with the skin. The core concept is simple; the skin is operating at its highest potential at all times and therefore one should not attempt to interfere with its normal function but rather assist it in the healing process, explains Ms Warren.

So make sure you read the telltale signs of stress and look deeper. To undo the effects of the pressures in your life and have beautiful, healthy skin for your Christmas and Festive Season functions it is important to make a consultation now with a skin specialist.

BalanceME Weight Loss Camps Join Nation's Doctors in Stress Awareness Month

Asheville, NC (PRWEB) April 09, 2013

BalanceME, leading summer weight loss camps for treatment of overweight and obese, joins the nations healthcare professionals in bringing awareness to the negative effects of stress during National Stress Awareness Month.

The American Institute of Stress reports that up to 90% of doctors visits are related to stress. During stressful situations the body releases a stress hormone called cortisol. Prolonged overexposure to cortisol increases the risk of heart disease, depression, and a variety of health related illnesses including obesity, An inability to manage stress successfully also leads to low motivation, in turn creating low activity lifestyles.

At BalanceME summer weight loss camps campers lower their stress by learning healthy coping skills in individual and group counseling sessions. These counseling sessions allow campers to address the emotional components that often accompany obesity while also building camper confidence and motivation. By pairing counseling with healthy eating and exercise, BalanceME campers lose weight and improve their overall health as well, thereby lowering some of the stress placed on their bodies.

Many of our campers suffer from depression and a variety of emotional challenges that are linked to numerous life stressors and manifest through weight gain, say John Gordon, BalanceME CEO. Being able to teach our campers healthy coping skills for stress give them tools for the rest of their lives, improving their overall health and quality of life.

BalanceME teaches campers to manage stress effectively by supplementing unhealthy coping skills like overeating or excessive sleeping with healthy coping skills like exercise, talking with a friend, and new interests and hobbies. BalanceME also uses an approach called Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) which allows campers to connect their thoughts with their behaviors. These skills are effective for campers beyond their time at summer weight loss camp and useful for stress management in school life, school, family life, and adulthood.

We are proud to support Stress Awareness Month by helping our campers learn lifelong copying skills, continued Mr. Gordon, Combined with our camper's weight loss, these coping skills form a powerful combination for dealing with stress.

Families interested in enrolling their child at BalanceME can contact John Gordon at 800-975-0435 or visit our website,http://www.BalanceME.com, for more information.

Bella Reina Spa Showcases Ways to Take the Stress Out of Every Day Life During National Stress Awareness Month

Delray Beach, FL (PRWEB) April 18, 2013

Bella Reina Spa reveals some very simple spa treatments that will help with daily stress triggers. Being aware of stress is probably one of the biggest issues in dealing with stress-related illnesses and skin issues.

The skin, the body's largest organ, is greatly affected by long-term stress through the lack of cortisol, increased inflammation and depletion of hyaluronic acid. The combination of inflammation and cortisol leads to the breakdown of collagen and elastin resulting in fine lines and wrinkles. Minimizing stress will help the skin look younger, and the spa considers stress reduction a necessary part of anti-aging.

Simple treatments to take the stress out of life, include aromatherapy massage, 20-minute reflexology treatment, or a relaxing spa facial. A body spa treatment, like the Body Peel can assist with the dehydration of the skin and the loss of collagen. In addition, the spa recommends eating a low-glycemic diet to lower the inflammation in the body and taking the Skin Health which increases the hyaluronic acid in the skin.

Bella Reina Spa suggests a 30-minute spa treatment once a month to assist the body in coping with stress and the dangers of stress. Stress Awareness Month was created in 1992 by the Health Resource Network and has been celebrated every April since then. For more information on how to alleviate stress, call the spa at 561-404-7670.

Combatting stress with alcohol makes you fat and miserable, says DietAssist

London, UK (PRWEB UK) 18 May 2013

DietAssist has warned that the people using alcohol to curb stress risk becoming fat and miserable because they are ignoring the calorie content of their evening tipple.

The warning follows a report in the Daily Mail based on a study published in the journal BMC Public Health (October, 2012) showing that those who drank at home viewed alcohol as a reward for chores after work hours, such as looking after their children and cooking dinner for the family.

The researchers, from the University of Sunderland, say there is a common perception among the middle class that drinking at home is safe but that in fact they may be more prone to alcohol dependency than young binge drinkers who go out every weekend.

NHS figures show that professionals are almost twice as likely to drink heavily as those on lower incomes.

They regard having a glass or two of wine or the odd tipple as a necessary reward after a long day at work and looking after their children.

DietAssist has warned that sharing a bottle of wine with your partner each night can translate into around 1lb of weight gain every 2 weeks, which is nearly 2 stone per year.

Paul Howard, from DietAssist, said, Many people seem oblivious to how these small, regular amounts of alcohol can cause long-term weight gain. The problem isnt just the calories in the alcohol itself, but also the late night snacks, hangover breakfasts and comfort food which so often go with it.

Were not saying that people should give up alcohol altogether. Rather, we urge people to become aware of how they are using alcohol - especially if the stress relieving qualities are starting to become overshadowed by the stress and misery of being overweight.

The DietAssist programme is the result of over 20 years experience of helping people to lose weight effectively, and uses the latest psychological techniques to avoid the self sabotage and demotivation that dieters commonly experience.

The DietAssist programme helps dieters strengthen their motivation and resolve, and creates the optimum psychological state for success. It is designed to work alongside any weight loss programme or sensible eating plan.
