Coping with Stress, Murders, Media and Our Denial

It is unfortunate. The news media is full of stories that indicate that stress levels are higher than ever before and denial is still the "preferred" coping strategy. Today, as I write this article, the radio, Tv, newspapers, and internet are screaming about a South Korean college student who killed 32 fellow students and teachers at Virginia Tech in Virginia. The pundits are raging that stress is at higher levels than ever before "especially for college students." The rumors discuss the lack of thinking condition hold and the sales of guns to "unstable" citizen together with this college student.

Everyone in our society is impacted by increased stress, not just college students. Our society is not alone. Many societies and cultures around our planet are feeling the pressure of increased pressures and stress. It is base to read stories about citizen "going postal," "road raging," "freaking out," "rage-a-holics," "being uptight," and "losing it." We are more fragile than ever before. We have less hold and have higher expectations. There is more substance abuse practiced by citizen who are trying to "cope." There is more "high test" caffeine feeding busy schedules and more commercials about sleeping problems.

There is, in fact, an addition lack of base sense and we are finding the dramatic effects in the news media.

Average Americans are not the only ones who seem to be victims. Our young men and women are returning from their military tours of duty with more post-traumatic stress dysfunction. Poor insight and lack of hold plague our returning heroes. Our time to come will be filled with the stories about these aid citizen and how they process their taste from their time in uniform.

Our crisis responders, fire personnel, police, and crisis healing responders, are also suffering from Ptsd and are becoming a huge concern for police and fire departments. Our society will be taxed to cope with these issues.

Stress can not be avoided. Traumas will continue to make the headlines. The way that we talk and the hold that we must be ready to offer come to be the parts of these challenges that we can control. We can do something! We do not have to suffer as "victims!" Commitment to prevention will be needed to prepare our children for the addition stressful world they must live. Parents need to carry on their stress and be the role-models that will prepare themselves and their children for the future. "Sticking our heads in the sand" is not the best way to cope with this epidemic of stress. Denial will only work for so long!

Awareness is half the battle. hold and teaching citizen how to be productive in dealing with stress is the second half of the fight. I know from personal and expert taste that taking time to practice regular stress supervision will de facto save time and energy, in the long run. Practicing preventive stress supervision will also improve the capability of life and improve performance.

We will never see the headlines devoid of stories generated by poorly managed emotional stress, but we can hope to improve this situation and have much better hold and coping strategies in place. This is especially primary for the hold of our aid men and women, our police personnel, and our fire fighters. better hold for our children, our parents, and our seniors would also offer good results. In fact, all of us who must interact with our increasingly stressful society could benefit. So let's pull our heads out of the sand and confront this situation.

Please go out of your way to take good care of yourself!
