The Power Of H.A.L.T As Effective Stress Technique

admin — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 22:01:53 +0000

Today I had one of the days that many of us experience, where perhaps you did not get the sleep you required, and the world does not seem to be in line with your aims and ambitions, even though I know the world does not revolve round me or any other individual, I think if were honest here there’s often times were we think it should do, and when the world in general does not comply with our wishes, a whole raft of frustration and stress can occur. Have you ever had days like that?
Well while traveling through my day, fortunately I was reminded of something I learnt a little while a go and is an excellent stress relief technique and life balance strategy, its called H.A.L.T it stands for hungry, angry, lonely and tired, and the basic idea is anytime you are feeling any of these or more, you are advised to do two things, address the issue, so for instance if you are hungry eat something and secondly, be aware in a very hungry/angry/lonely tired state you will not make your best decisions or actions, and it may be wise to hold of till you feel more balanced and experiencing some stress relief . So in my day today there were certain meetings I had to attend, however as I was aware I was tired and as it happened a little angry, I made a conscious decision holding off making any final decisions till tomorrow, after making sure I have dealt with the cause of my anger and got a decent nights sleep.

I know this stress relief technique is simple, however one of the keys to stress relief is that of awareness, or as I like to call it, seeing you doing your stuff!

Any way keep well and remember theirs always time in your busy day to call an H.A.L.T

Stop Time Travelling Enjoy The Power Of Now.

admin — Mon, 13 Oct 2008 09:13:17 +0000

One of the main habits I see with people who are suffering with stress and are attempting to find anxiety remedies, or stress techniques is that of mentally traveling, now when I say that I do not mean that people have finally discovered how to travel through the universe, more so the act of never quite being in the moment. Either people tend to be concerning them selves with something that happened in the past, or focusing on an event in the future.

Both these habits have there merits in that we can learn from our past experiences, and the ability to plan is on of the key fundamental skills the human race has over most of nature. However the down sides to this gift is the ability to be stuck in our heads and miss the moment of now. Because being factual the only thing that exists is now the past and the future are all mental constructs of your mind.

The video below is a short and wonderful example of what we do if we mentally travel all our lives. The words are by the late great Alan Watts.
