Christmas like and dislike equally. While some will spend much of the year thinking in those days to be reunited with the family, others may feel really bad just to remember that ‘obligation’ to celebrate, when in some way have nothing to celebrate .

This, of course, we must add the stress of having to comply with all the family and the extra work involved for many cooking dishes loved by all and having to think about how matching gifts from other .

there are people for whom, or because they are very familiar or because they do not really have anyone to celebrate Christmas, when they approach these dates may feel unusually sad and listless. This, in psychological terms, has been dubbed Christmas depression, according to psychologist Maria Del Lujan Acosta Schmiegelow, it is becoming more common.

“These states of mind, which are presented at different intensities, are linked to many of the features of modern life,” explains the expert. Certainly, Christmas is largely lost its original meaning becoming, for many a mere “consumer proposal empty of content,” says Del Luján.

But if some do not see any way to this celebration, others are actually affected by the fact that he recently lost a loved one and not being able to meet with him again. The sadness of this absence, for some it is intensified by the loneliness, having no one at his side. Also, we do autobalance end of the year, also tend to remind us that sometimes it has not been what was intended, more than enough reason to feel uncomfortable with you. Finally, the crisis we are currently experiencing, it can mean a loss of morale in the face of Christmas.

For those who repudiate the existence of these dates, or just not sure what to do or are burdened by having to be with family when they really do not feel like the first thing to do, as recommended by the psychologist, is ” listen to themselves and leave out the clichés. ” That is, forget the ‘just because’, of the alleged obligation of having to be with the family if we do not somehow feel like it.

The meeting reluctantly is shown to be a source of discussion and arguments. A good example of this is found in many problems it poses to spend enough time with each and every one of the members of his family, both political and biological. That desire of wanting to please everyone, “not only achieved, but we also can be empty and unhappy with the results,” said María del Luján.
Christmas Gifts

to try to reverse the situation, even when these dates we grieve, we can exploit the presence of children and “to be at your service, because of the happiness that we provide, it becomes our own,” advises the specialist. Similarly, if we are not strong enough to cope with a large ‘family feast’, the ideal is “to have short meetings and not to extend beyond the evenings we can tolerate,” says María Del Luján.

Finally, although a priori it may seem a disadvantage, being alone at Christmas maybe I can be an open door to meet someone new or help others with charitable initiative. No doubt for some, may not be the best Christmas season, but there are thousands of ways to not feel listless and upset with the innate happiness seems that radiates from the rest of the people. The best thing, knowing what we do and not get carried away by what others intend to do.

Female rock water, better known by its English name rock water, belongs to the excessive concern for others. It is the remedy that Dr. Bach found “for people who are very strict in their way of life. They refuse many joys and pleasures of life because they feel they can interfere with their work. They are masters of themselves severe. They want to be healthy, strong and active and will do anything they think they can keep that. They expect to be captivated by the example for others to imitate their ideas and later as a result become better. ”

Is related to the soul qualities of resilience and inner freedom. It is the unique essence of the whole system is not a flower, but water from spring’s undeveloped nature to which the inhabitants of the area attributed healing properties since ancient times. At present, these half-forgotten sources between trees and grasses, exposed to sun and wind, are still in many parts of England.

A lifestyle severe and strict
Rock Water is used in those mentally very inflexible and severe with themselves. In fact they would like to be a role model for others because they think their lifestyle and their ideas are ‘on track’. They are treated harshly and in the same way they treat others. Do not make any concession or permit the joy or pleasure make presence in your life. For them, this attitude is a kind of self-sacrifice that must be maintained to stay on ‘the right side of life. ”

Unlike vervena characters, types of rock water never try to impose their own ideas to a partner, because they are convinced that their view of life is correct and not “waste time” trying to convince others. Rather, with some presumption, tend to a very subtle intellectual arrogance that leads to ‘compassion’ of others thinking something like “! How lucky I am right”.

the intake of the flower helps people to balance their emotions, allowing your natural joy of life and peace of mind to become, now, a model for others. His natural idealism surfaces, together with a real ability to adapt to new theories and principles that enable them to compare them they already had and reach a deeper understanding of things.

Like other essences, rock water has certain similarities with other flowers that could lead to error when choosing them for our compositions. That’s the difference between the two:

Rock water: would like to feel superior in intellectual and often makes this exhibition. Inside is stubborn and too focused on his own improvement.

Water violet, is usually superior to others in the intellectual field. Too often exaggerate their tolerance and nearly exceeds his respect for the individuality of others. I want to be left in peace.

The computer game Tetris helps reduce flashbacks after seeing pictures traumatic, which is not the case with other types of video games, according to a study by the University of Oxford published in the journal Plos One .

Tetris

In a previous study, researchers showed that the game Tetris could reduce flashbacks after seeing pictures traumatic. The flashbacks are a characteristic symptom of PTSD. In a new study, they compared the effectiveness of Tetris with that of Pub Quiz Machine 2008, a quiz based on words. Unlike Tetris, Pub Quiz increased the frequency of flashbacks.
Tetris is effective to reduce flashbacks when played in a critical window of six hours after watching a stressful film, says Emily Holmes of the Department of Psychiatry, who led the work.

These results support the theory that the mind (mind) has two separate channels: one channel that processes sensory direct perceptual experience of the world through sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch, and a channel concept which is responsible for putting together these perceptual experiences significantly by placing them in context. In general, these two channels operate in equilibrium. For example, the perceptual channel is used to see and hear someone speak and another to understand the meaning of what he says.

But when a person is exposed to trauma, these channels would operate unequally so that the perceptual information is amplified at the expense of conceptual information. The person is thus less likely to remember an experience of road accident as a coherent story, and more likely to remember it by flashes of lights and noise of a crash. This information then appears perceptual repeatedly in the spirit in the form of flashbacks that cause great emotional distress, few have been associated conceptual sense.

Studies indicate that there is a maximum of six hours after injury during which it is possible to interfere with how these memories are formed.

During this period, certain tasks may be competing for the use of channels in the brain that are needed to form memories. Recognize the shapes and move blocks of Tetris compete with the images of the trauma. Instead, the verbal play between competing with the memory of the contextual meaning of the trauma, so that the memory of the visual channel is enhanced and the flashbacks are increased.

“While this work is still experimental and that any potential treatment is still far away, we begin to understand how intrusive memories (flashbacks) are formed after trauma and how we can use science to explore new preventive treatments “says Dr. Holmes. “Research is still at an early stage and action must be carefully taken before this can be clinically tested,” she says.

A series of studies at Concordia University, there could be a link between increased rates of depression and increased life stress, says a press release from the institution.

Daily Stress

One such study, conducted by Professor Mark Ellenbogen, shows that adolescents from families with one parent suffers from a mood disorder (depression or bipolar disorder) have higher salivary cortisol levels to other children. And these high levels persist in early adulthood. Cortisol is a hormone that is produced by the body in response to events and stressful life situations.
Although many causes may be involved in the elevation of cortisol levels, this increase may be partly due to exposure to stress family and education, says Dr. Ellenbogen. And, preliminary data show that high concentrations of cortisol during adolescence doubles the risk for a severe disorder of mood in early adulthood.

‘Previous studies have shown that children and adolescents from families at risk are at higher risk of psychiatric disorder over their life, “says the researcher. We know they are not simply inherited these traits, but they have also been raised in a stressful, chaotic and unstructured. Our goal is to determine how this environment affects mental health of these children in adolescence and adult life. ”

It is particularly alarming to see how cases of depression among young people growing a generation to another, “said the researcher. Stress may be an important factor, he believes.

People who exercise regularly during their leisure time are less likely to report symptoms of depression and anxiety according to a study published in the British Journal of Psychiatry, conducted with 40 000 Norwegians.

But physical activity part of daily work does not have this protective effect, the study suggests. Social interactions that enable physical activity during leisure time appear to the right, at least in part, the link between exercise and improved mental health, concluding Samuel Harvey and his colleagues at King’s College London and University of Bergen in Norway .

People who were not physically active during their leisure time were twice as likely to report symptoms of depression compared with those who were most active. But the intensity of exercise did not seem to make a difference.

Many women are concerned about the relationship between stress and heart eccentricity. is known that stress contributes to the mystery of heart problems and the risk of death. Emotional distress, especially anger, is the “trigger” that is reported more frequently in cases of heart attack. Persons under more stress and more concerns also have more problems after a heart attack.

The depression is another risk factor for heart eccentricity. In fact, women who are depressed are twice as likely to report cardiac eccentricity which are not. The folding is a collective of men and women pair after a heart attack.

Stress refers to the establishment’s response to the changes. Not all stress is bad. Most importantly, stress management authority in the appropriate manner. The exoteric people feel stressed as a deduction of labor problems, arguments with family or friends or social neglect. All people feel stressed at some point, but they react to stress in different ways. For example, some people might worry a lot of stress while driving, while others may lucubrations is a relaxing activity.
