Empowerment – Get Back in Control of Your Life

L. John Mason asked:




Are you feeling that many things in your life are out of control? Does this feeling of “lack of control” make you feel stressed? Would you like to “Get Back in Control”?

There are many things that are important to you and yet beyond your control. These are the things that are the most stressful. Relationships are stressful and often beyond your control. The economy, world conflicts, global warming the fear of nuclear proliferation are all stressful and, in most cases, beyond your control. You may not be able to control other people’s actions or the global economy, but you can learn to control one important thing, the way you respond to these challenges.

To “Get Back in Control,” you most do 2 things. First, you must identify how you physically and emotionally respond to these stressors. This awareness will aid you in NOT becoming a Victim to your habitual patterns of holding stress. Secondly, you will want to learn how to change (and control) your responses. Biofeedback and stress management research have proven that any physical system that can be monitored in “real time” can be controlled. You can learn to control your: brainwaves, blood pressure, heart rate, muscle tension, blood flow/circulation, even the release of gastric juices. Through awareness and learned control, you can learn to change your habitual response to stress and invest your available energies in more appropriate and positive ways.

I recommend starting with temperature training biofeedback combined with a stress management strategy like Autogenic Training or visualization. You can learn to control your physiology and this will in turn lead to Empowerment. It is often reported by my coaching clients that: “things that used to bother me do not seem to bother me anymore (or the same way.)” My clients learn that they can get back in control of the their bodies’ and then their lives.

It may not change all of the stressful situations that surround you, but it will give you an opportunity to put things in perspective and make the best use of your available time and energy.

Please take good care of yourself.

Causes and Symptoms of Lower Back Pain

Ben Branklin asked:




Most back pain has a simple physical cause such as inflamed or strained muscles, restricted joints, or pressure on nerves. It can keep recurring, and may not be helped by the routine conventional treatment or painkillers such as aspirin and paracetamol, or muscle relaxants and anti inflammatory drugs such as steroids.

Conversely simple things like applying heat and cold can help. A hot water bottle placed on the painful area can bring temporary relief, and so can a pack of crushed ice cubes. Hold the ice against the area immediately after injury to prevent tissue swelling. After a few days, alternating hot and cold applications can be most effective.

Acupuncture and massage, postural training and the manipulative work of osteopathy (this may mean manipulating the spine and surrounding tissue by gently twisting, pressing and pulling) and chiropractors often prove effective. They also give you an opportunity to take an active part in treating the problem yourself.
?
Nevertheless, always see a doctor before undertaking any treatment like this.?If the back pain does not have a simple physical cause, but is just a symptom of something more serious, inappropriate treatment could be dangerous.
?????????
If conventional treatment fails- or if is not called for- many doctors are now willing to help you find a reliable natural practitioner.
?
Finally, although back pain is a physical ailment, psychological elements should not be overlooked. Stress and anxiety can contribute significantly to back problems, and you are more likely to damage or weaken your back if you and your back muscles are tense.

3 Steps to Successfully Dealing With Bruxism

Lisa Davies asked:




Bruxism is a condition where people clench or grind their teeth usually while they are sleeping. If a person has a mild case, they may not require any type of treatment. However, in extreme cases, treatment may be necessary in order to prevent more damage to their teeth. Some of the symptoms of bruxism are headaches, depression, and jaw ache. There is no known cause for bruxism but it can be caused due to stress. Some of the different methods of treatment for bruxism are mouth guards, botox and biofeedback devices.

Mouth guards are a common method of treatment for bruxism. It should be placed in the mouth every night to prevent the person from grinding their upper and lower teeth. A mouth guard can be purchased at local drugstore or can be custom made by a dentist. The cost of custom made mouth guards can cost up to $500. While mouth guards do not cure bruxism, they are good for preventing your teeth from becoming chipped or cracked.

Another one of the common treatments used for bruxism is Botox. By injecting the Botox into the jaw muscles, the injection will weaken these muscles to prevent the grinding and clenching of the jaw. Both jaw muscles must be injected in order to see the benefits. It should be repeated by a physician every three months. Although the treatments are expensive, your health insurance plan may cover it.

Another form of treatment of bruxism is a biofeedback device. When these devices were first created, they were battery-powered headbands that were place on a person’s head during sleeping and sounded an alarm when the person began to tighten their jaw. Over the years, different biofeedback devices have been developed to prevent a sleeping person from clenching their teeth. The recent invention requires a person to breath out of their mouth when they begin to clench their teeth. Many people have had some type of success with this method.

Each treatment for bruxism should reduce some of the pain and discomfort a person is experiencing if the treatment is used or done properly. In order to help with the problems, each person should try to determine what triggers their bruxism. Relaxation and meditation tips should be done each night before bed if stress is one of the causes for bruxism. Surgery may be needed if a person continues to have severe symptoms from bruxism.
