Stress Management Relationships

Whenever we worry about what to eat, how to love, or simply how to be happy, we are worrying about how to lead a good life. No goal is more elusive. In How to Be a Stoic, philosopher Massimo Pigliucci offers Stoicism, the ancient philosophy that inspired the great emperor Marcus Aurelius, as the best way to attain it. Stoicism is a pragmatic philosophy that teaches us to act depending on what is within our control and separate things worth getting upset about from those that are not.

Many of us leap into dating, not really ready to love or be loved. We don't believe in ourselves. We don't really think we're worthy of good people. We settle for the first people who come along and show interest. This isn't how it should be! If you want to successfully enter the dating scene, whether you are 18 or 80, you need to prepare yourself first. I have devised the ultimate guide to getting ready for love in my book, Own Your Tomorrow: 14 Steps to Prepare for Love.

This illuminating guide brings a unique and eye-opening perspective to the evasive concept of balance.

Feeling anxious and disconnected are signs of a nervous system that's out of balance. Something as small as a curt message from our boss can be perceived by our bodies as a threat to life. By understanding our physiological stress response, we can override and heal our emotional response, and fix the behaviours sabotaging our health and happiness. In The Vagus Nerve Reset, Anna Ferguson offers somatic therapies alongside the science of Polyvagal Theory, to help us train our nervous system to stop overreacting, and start responding more calmly to day-to-day stressors and heal past experiences.

The Polyvagal Theory Workbook for Trauma offers evidence-based activities to help you heal the effects of trauma, rewire your nervous system, and return to a state of balance and calm. You'll begin by getting to know your nervous system, including an exploration of polyvagal theory and the vagus nerve. You'll also learn soothing, body-based practices to help you rewire your nervous response, including rhythmic movements (EMDR and tapping), conscious breathing, mindful movement, and more.

Imagine a breathing technique that can increase oxygen uptake and delivery to the cells, improve blood circulation, and unblock the nose. Perhaps it can help open the airways of the lungs, enhance blood flow and oxygen delivery to the brain, improve sleep, and bring calmness to the mind. It might even restore bodily functions disturbed by stress, build greater resilience, and help you to live longer. You might think this description sounds farfetched. But it isn’t.

Feeling constantly stressed, exhausted, or overwhelmed? Your cortisol levels might be the culprit.

Cortisol Detox is your practical, science-backed guide to naturally lowering cortisol, calming your nervous system, and building resilience to stress. Packed with actionable strategies, this book helps you:

Paro, respiro, observo y reinicio. ¡Para! Nadie te está persiguiendo y no sabes detenerte.

Respira, necesitas hacerlo. Lo haces sin pensar, para sobrevivir y de forma instintiva. Es importante que aprendas a ser consciente de tu respiración, a estar aquí ahora, para que dejes de andar por ahí en piloto automático.
