College Finals Stress

First let me tell you how it all got started. Reading an article reminded me of the stress of college finals.

It seems one of the ultimate pressure reducer is also one of the most intimate things we can do.

The 2006 article in New Scientist touted Sex "Cuts Public Speaking Stress." The study by Stuart Brody, a University of Paisley psychologist has implications and applications for all stressful situations.

The real world application poses a major problem. More and more young people are maintaining their celibacy till marriage.

As a nurse and personally seeing and treating the unwanted children born out of wedlock and watching people die from the diseases that come from moral freedom society exercises, I have to commend this stand. The resulting stress is not worth it.

One major flaw in the study was a lack of a control group with the many alternatives available in this booklet.

Stress Jobs

If you’re a speaker, a Realtor, a nurse, lawyer, a student, or part of any of a number of other pressure filled jobs, you may not be aware that there are numerous ways to decompress that are readily available. Some of the best are found in what we eat and what we think.

The personal guide is a compilation of some of the best.

The scents to keep in mind when you want to increase beta waves and maintain a heightened sense of awareness in the brain….Rosemary and Basil.

For study or cramming, put the two oils in a diffuser and start smelling your way to an A memory.

Next, take a few drops and put onto a cloth, place in a small plastic bag. Just before the fateful moment begins take in a sniff.

It is easier to remember what you learn in the same atmosphere you learned it, or in this case, smelled it.

Word of caution…they are also stimulants. Avoid using late into the evening or the result can be counter productive if you cannot get to sleep.
