and other drugs considerably. Take plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables instead.

Seek out Social Support. Self-medicating with alcohol or drugs may provide an easy escape from stress, but the relief is only temporary. Don’t avoid or mask the issue at hand; deal with problems head on and with a clear mind.

It is never advisable to stay in solitary confinement if you are stressed or under anything that is likely to cause stress. Such a state will only seek to worsen the situation. Instead, spend ample time with those whom you love most. These could include your friends, relatives, and colleagues.

Talk Calmly to Yourself

In some instances, you may have to talk to yourself about the issue you are going through. Try to inquire why you found yourself in such a state and what you may do to come out of the same. As you talk to yourself, some of the stress will simply thaw away gently Laugh It Off

Next to talking to yourself, laughing out the problem may also contribute to the alleviation of stress. Laughter releases the ‘feel-good’ endorphins hormones that do improve the moods and reduce stress levels. It also dupes your nervous system to make you feel happy even when you are not.

Listen to Soothing Music

Other than meditating or exercising regularly, music has also been noted to play a vital role in calming stress. It is hence in your best interest yet again to consider listening to it. Insist on that genre that is smooth, slow, calming, and therapeutic. Hymns, rhythms, and blues are particularly awesome.

Relaxing Music

Beautiful relaxing music for stress relief, composed by Peder B. Helland. This instrumental music ("Frozen in Time") works well as sleep music, ambient study music, meditation music or relaxation music.

There are a lot of benefits from listening to music. Here are just a few:

Reduces stress Eases anxiety Decreases depression Promotes relaxation Increase in concentration Boosts immune system Decreases blood pressure Elevates mood Alleviates pain

So, yes, listening to music is a wonderful way to relieve stress and much, much more!

Have a Winning Attitude

Life is a journey, but it’s also a battle. Life is full of opportunities, but obstacles exist too.

Daily routine or schedule. Make time for some fun and relaxation. Fatigue and overworking result from having a poorly-planned schedule. Set aside some “me-time”. Do not forget to laugh or smile every day. This includes making sure you get enough hours of sleep in a day.

Take some Breathers

From time to time, do take some breathers. Breathers are brief pauses, rests, or getaways that are designed to cool you off or unwind you. The length of the breather depends on the level of stress. A more stressful situation no doubt requires a similarly longer breather, and vice versa.

Express your feelings instead of bottling them up.

If something or someone is bothering you, be more assertive and communicate your concerns in an open and respectful way. If you’ve got an exam to study for and your chatty roommate just got home, say up front that you only have five minutes to talk. If you don’t voice your feelings, resentment will build and the stress will increase.

Enroll for Guidance and Counselling

If the symptoms and the severity of the stress persist even after taking the intervention measures we have delineated above, you should now enroll for guidance and counseling. The guidance and counselor will no doubt take you through every step of the journey and help to reverse the effects.

Meditation for Beginners -  Featuring Dan Harris and  Sharon Salzberg

Find a quiet place to meditate. Sit in a comfortable position, with a cross-legged posture. It's important to have a straight back. Partially close your eyes and think about your breathing. Breathe through your nostrils naturally, and feel the breath as you breathe in and out. Your distracting thoughts will gradually fall away, although this might take practice. Do this each day for about ten to fifteen minutes.

Start a stress journal

A stress journal can help you identify the regular stress causes in your life and the way you deal with them. Each time you feel stressed, keep track of it in your journal. As you keep a daily log, you will begin to see patterns and common themes.

Write down:

What caused your stress (make a guess if you’re unsure)

Wrong Ways to Cope with Stress

People cope with stress in various ways, without realizing that some of these ways may be actually unhealthy, and cause them more harm in the long run. Avoid these stress-coping ways.

Smoking, which is bound to cause other health problems Drinking too much alcohol Binge on junk food Becoming a couch potato and doing nothing but watching television all-day Becoming an introvert and shutting everyone out, including your family Medication, which can lead to addiction Violence and antagonism, driving everyone away

There are better, productive and healthier ways to cope with stress. You can do it, as long as you put your mind to it. You are your own stress manager.

Overall, stress is not a deadly phenomenon. However, it has the impact of degenerating into depression if not mitigated in time. That is why we emphasize the need to put in place appropriate intervention measures as soon as you detect the rise of stress. A careful reading of our discussions above will no doubt provide the necessary guidance.

 

How Is Roger and Keywebco?

 

 

“The best results come from people working together to learn…because everyone has different viewpoints, experience, and ideas.” - Roger Keyserling

 

Who Is the Man Behind Keywebco?

I'm Roger Keyserling and my life’s story began in NYC back in 1966 with limited sight at birth. I really don’t remember much of NYC since I was just a small child when I lived there. I have, however, been back there numerous times, so the majority of my memories of the Big Apple are from later in life.

 

About My Family

My mother and father worked for the Federal Jobs division of the Social Security Administration until they retired. My sister is a graduate of Trinity University of San Antonio, TX. I really enjoyed living so close to her when I was working there. Now, she’s working for Social Services in New Orleans. To this day, my parents are very active in a variety of projects. In fact, my father was recently a special guest on a radio show.

 

My Many Likes

Music:

I like classical music, i.e. Chopin, Handel, Mozart, and Tchaikovsky.

I also like numerous types of contemporary music.

Books:

I like reading mainly topics involving astrophysics and science.

I especially like reading research documents.

Movies:

I like movies like Star Wars but also appreciate classic dramas and historical fiction.

Television:

I have a special love for classic cartoons in black and white like Felix the Cat, Betty Boop, and Popeye. In fact, I even named my dog Betty Boop.

 

Coast-to-Coast Moves

After attending kindergarten in New York, my family moved back to my mother's hometown of Odessa, Missouri. I ended up being one year younger than the other students in first grade. That was OK though since I was really busy both at school and with outside activities. My school activities included band, debate, drama, journalism, and photography. I was already an enterprising young man and sold cards, jewelry, Merlite jewelry, and seeds, Burpee seeds, during study hall.

My after school activities included being a member of Eagle Scouts, going on Explorer hikes, being a member of the Kansas City Ballet for a short time, attending the Kathy and Rick Murphy Dance Studio, and being a member of Youth Community Betterment. I also went on a Mid-America Orchestra Group European tour where I played with clarinet, the oboe, and the saxophone.

 

In 1984, I graduated from High School and then attended Northwest Missouri State University as a psychology major. After that, I decided to opt-in to a Missouri Department of Mental Health training program to start working in state facilities. I graduated after working at Saint Joseph State Hospital with multiple licenses. I continued on at St. Joseph’s for several years. Since then, the hospital has been converted to a prison. They do, however, still have a museum filled with memorabilia from when it was a state facility. It’s called the Glore Psychiatric Museum. Please note that some exhibits may not be suitable for young children.

 

I moved to Orlando for a short period of time and then to San Diego, CA. I worked there at the Shelby Fine Arts Gallery and sold limited edition lithographs. Today, the name has been changed to The Aristocrat Gallery. One of my favorite jobs was working in thrift stores where I bought boots, coats, dresses, gowns, and all kinds of clothing and resold them. I would also purchase knickknacks and other items that I sold at flea markets. One memorable thrift store where I worked was Family Thrift Stores.

 

I later moved to Kansas City, MO, and worked at the Revco Drug Company. At the same time, I also sold art and furniture privately in consignment shops. Next, I moved to San Antonio, TX, and took several corporate jobs, working at a number of small companies where the jobs were good, although quite varied. I moved to Tampa for a short time to work at a variety of other corporate jobs and also helped a close friend to set up a new business.

 

One day, I received a call from an old friend who lived in San Antonio. He and I both loved collecting vintage cars and the two of us often visited an Austin classic car club. At the time, I was driving a Lincoln Mark 3 and his family had a large local car dealership. He suggested that we could start a vintage limo service and I liked the idea so much that right away I moved back to San Antonio. Unfortunately, the idea wasn’t successful and I ended up working at several other jobs. During that time, I also kept buying and selling merchandise but not online as of yet.

 

Major Changes in San Antonio

For starters, I founded Keyhole Production Studios, which actually started as a strip-a-gram company but not for long. The “performers” involved weren’t quite used to working for a non-trashy business like mine. In addition, I rapidly learned how much they were paying in commissions, while dealing with scheduling issues, etc. On the other side of the coin were bar and club owners as well as special events. The people involved were continually upset about the unprofessional operations in the business.

So, I devised a method for doing real professional shows and my company became an instant hit with everyone due to the professional choreography, lighting, pyrotechnics, sets, theme costumes, and so much more. My prior experience in the theater was a big help and I was able to assist the set technicians with tasks like setting up backdrops. And, all my years of reselling items like clothing, I knew exactly how to go about taking care of the costumes. In addition, I had plenty of contacts for getting them custom made. One other advantage was that I had the innate ability to attract all of the top performers from all over the state of Texas as
