Stress-zero

Researchers have conducted numerous studies in the past decade or so on the subject of how to improve or enhance the effectiveness of anti-stress objects and tools. While the majority of these studies focused on how the use of specific objects affects levels of perceived stress and their effect on reducing stress symptoms, others looked at how the use of everyday objects affects the production of endorphins - the body's natural mood enhancers. The endorphins affect the way that the brain perceives and responds to, stress and other types of negative experiences. This paper will explore the relationship between anti-stress objects and endorphin production and the efficiency of stress relief as a function of the type of object used.

The first study that this author investigated was conducted using the theme of pain management. In a sample of adults, the researchers measured pain and stress levels before and after participants were exposed to various types of triggers and/or stressors. The results showed that the presence of anti-stress objects was correlated with lower levels of pain and greater levels of perceived stress. While it's unlikely that these objects had any influence on actual pain and/or stress levels, the results showed that the presence of the objects was indicative of participants' state of mind at the time of testing, which is important since pain and stress are likely to occur simultaneously and can be difficult to remove once they have occurred.

The second study replicated the first by using the same participants but this time they investigated the impact of stress on health, rather than perceived pain or stress. Again, the results showed that there was a significant impact of the type of stressors (i.e. physical and emotional) on the health of the participants. However, when the focus was on the objects, it was found that the presence of anti-stress items (e.g., stress balls) was associated with fewer episodes of stress or higher levels of perceived stress than did those without the stress-eliminating objects.

In a third study, students completed a survey on their own experiences with four different types of stress: high stress, low stress, active coping, and passive coping. The results showed that students who had high stress and/or low active coping and/or passive coping and/or low stress were more likely to purchase the anti-stress products advertised. The same was true for students who had higher levels of perceived stress. What the study did not show was whether those individuals who purchased the anti-stress product were actually experiencing an increased incidence of stress or whether the items increased their perceived stress. Since the items were not evaluated along with the answers to questions about stress levels, it's impossible to know what impact the items might have had on people; however, it appears as though they do have an effect.

So what does this all mean for those looking to reduce their levels of stress and/or pain? It means that while you might not need to buy anti-stress objects to alleviate your mental state, there are many other things you can do to boost your effectiveness when it comes to dealing with stress and/or pain. For instance, one very easy way to make sure that your mind and body are as in tip top shape as possible is to learn and practice yoga. Yoga increases flexibility, develops your sense of breathing, strengthens your muscles and ligaments, and increases your awareness. This is a list of physical and mental improvements that can translate to increased effectiveness in dealing with your life and career.

Another thing that you might want to consider doing to boost your effectiveness when it comes to dealing with stress and/or pain is to make sure that you get plenty of rest. A good night's sleep is vital to your overall health and well being, and a lack of rest will increase the likelihood of you encountering stress, burnout, and pain. When you go to bed, turn off the lights, close your eyes, and try to meditate or pray as best you can. If you cannot sleep after thirty minutes or so, try going to the bedroom window. Meditation and prayer are two very effective anti-stress objects you can employ when you need to unwind and relieve your stress and strain.
