Connecting Stress-Anger-Depression-Forgiveness-Gratitude

Eileen Lichtenstein — Sun, 13 Mar 2011 01:23:10 +0000

Connecting stress, anger, depression,forgiveness and gratitude is not difficult; each impacts the others in big ways. Starting with the end in sight :

Gratitude has been getting a lot of press in self-help/development curriculums because it is essential to acknowledge personal gratefuluness in several categories to help up your forgivess quotient and transform the others! Try this: Sit back, close your eyes and visualize everything you are grateful for including several categories:

personal attributes and abilities
people in your life
material things in your life
a lifestyle
environment

Let it free flow and then write them down in columns. Review this whenever you are feeling down, first thing in the morning and before bed.

Forgiveness of one’s self for wrong doings and poor attitudes is necessary before you can forgive others, as loving oneself must happen before you are able to love others. Forgiveness of heinous crimes is not possible for most people and not necessary. You do not need to let go of 100% anger/guilt to let go and move on. Try forgiving a percentage, and “work on it” through EFT, guided imagry and de-sensitization techniques, hypnosis, coaching, therapy to get the percentage higher. It can be helpful in acknowledging that those in question may have been doing the best they knew how or were capable of (due to personal history, mental capacity, mental illness).

Depression is almost always supressed, repressed, not communicated (or communicated partially) anger, with or without genetic tendencies.

Anger expressed at over-the-top levels results in socially unacceptable aggressive behavior that steps over physical and/or emotional boundaries (hitting-pushing-punching-pulling, property damage including throwing things, slamming doors and name calling, cursing-yelling. Health related symptoms of high anger and stress levels include high blood pressure, headaches, racing pulse, difficulty breathing, tight muscles.

Stress levels elevate when feeling out of control or “overwhelmed” and may cause someone to exhibit angrily acting out or be irritable. The flip side is a depressive episode.

It is important to remember that human beings are not perfect and we all “mess-up” at times. If you or someone you are close to experience any of the above on an ongoing basis or regularly, it is time to get help! Often learning simple coping strategies and techniques as well as how to communicate effectively is all you need to do- in conjunction with a practitioner you feel comfortable with and can create a trusting relationship with.

I am a certified Anger Management Specialist, EFT Practitioner, Peak Performance Success Coach and (former) Biofeedback Therapist (this training includes relaxation techniques, de-sensitizatoion techniques, guided imagery and self-trance). I work with individuals and groups via telephone, skype and face to face in Long Island, New York at various locations and go on site for businesses and organizations.

Can you be-stay more focused and fearless?

Eileen Lichtenstein — Wed, 09 Jun 2010 00:33:03 +0000

Yes and yes! Absolutely, especially if you’ve opened this, which means you’re motivated. However, more than motivation is necessary to be successful. Commitment is needed.. Groups are forming now in Baldwin, Long Island that will address these issues and more. I’m also facilitating several local venues this week http://www.balanceandpower.com/events.php. I coach individuals on the phone or face to face in Baldwin. If you’re looking for teleseminars stay tuned!

Here are some tried and true strategies to be more focused and fearless:

Take time to review priorities daily, keeping “the big picture” in mind.
Take time to relax and have fun daily.
Take time to exercise several times a week.
Take time to meditate and/or practice moving meditation such as yoga.
Take time to discuss and brainstorm ideas; perhaps journal.
Take time to get enough sleep and to eat properly.
Learn and practice EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques, tapping)

Inner strength and being centered are keys to life and business success

If you have excess stress challenges, are “in transition”, experiencing work-life time challenges, caregiver or intergenerational family issues, having communication difficulties, or simply want an advocate to bounce things around with and be accountable to, you may contact me for a thirty minute complimentary phone consult: 516 623 4353 or eileen@balanceandpower.com.

No Surgery Needed!

Eileen Lichtenstein — Tue, 20 Apr 2010 01:40:03 +0000

The radioactive scan test today showed gall bladder is functioning 100%- with all the crazy yummy fatty stuff I ate for the “prep” last night. Dr. Larry Good, my gastroenterologist in Lynbrook, NY. (as fabulous as his name), said I can join the millions walking around with family stones and that my occasional vomiting symptoms over the past 6 mos. were any of virus-food poisoning-extreme stress- whew!! So I asked what he thinks abt me having Hagen Daz – whipped cream for dessert after a high fat meal? He said he wants to help me stay trim & slim & I can have an occasional ice cream cone
So much for radiologists giving advice for surgery..argh!!

I’m thanking Dr. Bruce Kesten (kinesiology, chiropractic & nutrition) and Maria Antonopoulis (acupuncturist) for all the ongoing support, nutritional supplements and gall bladder strengthening . I will continue to tap-EFT- to pass the stones painlessly; thanks Dr.Virginia Porcello for helping me figure out the tapping phrase!

I’m still “radioactive” and cant go near children or pregnant women for 2 more days..and am carrying an ID card to that effect.

Got Stress? Be Resilient!(c)2010

Eileen Lichtenstein — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 00:27:13 +0000

Research shows a direct link between stress and heart disease, stroke, cancer and other life-changing illnesses. We know it lowers the immune system so that we are more susceptible to the common cold and heightened allergies. If you wait until you’re feeling stressed before you use some technique for managing stress, it may be too late. You need to have a bag of tricks that you can deploy proactively. Turning to them throughout the day changes your threshold of stress tolerance. It’s more important than ever to learn as many antistress techniques as possible, as young as possible. The biochemical response to stress is cued up as much by random, upsetting events in the environment as by negative thinking – our own or people we spend a great deal of time with – as well as trying to keep up with the fast pace and increasing demands of modern life, or mental habits like perfectionism or procrastination. There are skills and habits of mind which are beneficial to our health and reduce the negative effects of stress that cause physical illness. The development of these skills is stress-resilience training. I will be sharing an overview of techniques and strategies with you in a FREE teleclass April 1- no joke! with a three week in depth series following. In the NY Metro area, check out two wholistic wellness fairs in April that I’m involved with. I will be facilitating weekend courses at Dowling Institute and an EFT(tapping) Training http://www.balanceandpower.com/eft.php at the Balance & Power Center in May.

I’m often asked how I manage to be so active and visible and still have a life. LOL. Yes, balance is important and a daily challenge. It’s been said that nothing in the universe is balanced anyway… it’s all organized chaos. If that’s the case (or not) what we need to do is design a lifestyle and career that best matches our intrinsic motivations.(ie: Be passionate about what you do. Yes, you have choices…) Well, I’m so passionate about coaching – speaking-and facilitating that it fits my preferences to a tee that I have an abundance of energy. Of course, self-care is vital too! I recently came across this wonderful Scottish Proverb: “It’s only work if you’d rather be doing something else.” Of course, there is a time-place-season for everything. Turn-turn-turn…

Inner strength and being centered are keys to life and business success! Specializing in work-life balance, stress reduction management, and career issues, I help improve people’s ability to access the power already within them to bring about the balance needed to achieve their goals. Balance brings power to the process of decision-making! You will want to be a part of my incredible life changing stress management seminars! http://www.balanceandpower.com/stressmanagement.com/php

With a background that includes innovative training, speaking, coaching, fitness-dance and Biofeedback, I offer individuals and groups mind/body modalities integrated with traditional coaching and training strategies to facilitate success.
