Discover The Ultimate Power Of Your Heart
In the last few years, more people than ever–from different backgrounds and walks of life–are talking about the heart. More company mission statements make a point to mention the importance of the heart in leadership and customer care. More speakers, articles and books, both spiritual and non-spiritual, are referring to the heart. Whether people mention speaking from the heart, listening to the heart, connecting with the heart, or following the heart, it is a clear sign that there is increased energetic awareness of the importance of the heart in all of life’s decisions.

IBM “Commuter Pain” Survey Focuses on Fuel Spending Limit, Frustration and Sleep Deprivation
The first IBM Commuter Pain Survey released today shows a substantial number of drivers in U.S. metropolitan areas are fed up with longer commutes, higher fuel prices and increased pollution and are seeking to reduce the daily toll on their emotional well-being and wallets. 45% report increased stress (above 50% in Dallas, Los Angeles and Miami), and 28% reported increased anger (36% in Los Angeles, the highest).

Stress and Anxiety Interfere With Sleep
Seven out of ten adults in the United States say they experience stress or anxiety daily, and most say it interferes at least moderately with their lives. About one-third report persistent stress or excessive anxiety daily or that they have had an anxiety or panic attack. Seven out of ten of those adults say they have trouble sleeping.

Anxiety Brings Long-Term Sleep Trouble
Stress and anxiety may lead to more than just a night or two of trouble sleeping. A new study shows anxiety can cause a long-term sleep issue. It’s no surprise that major life stresses, such as death, illness, divorce, or money problems can cause trouble sleeping. But researchers found anxiety-related lack of sleep problems can last for up to six months after the stressful event. In addition, people who are more anxious to begin with are more likely to suffer from trouble sleeping.

Adult Americans with depression, anxiety or other psychological disorders annually miss 1.3 billion days of work, school or other daily activity.

9/11 Dreams Study Suggests TV Coverage Boosted Stress
A study of Americans’ dreams in the weeks before and after Sept. 11, 2001, suggests that TV coverage of the terror attacks actually increased viewers’ stress levels. The finding probably applies to most major traumatic news stories, including this week’s massacre of students and faculty at Virginia Tech, one expert said. Researchers found that each additional hour of daily 9/11-linked TV viewing raised an individual’s stress level by 6 percent, as reflected in dreams laden with grim images from that day’s events. But there was also some good news from the study—stress levels began to decline the more people talked over the tragedy with family members and friends.

In Our Messy, Reptilian Brains
Let others rhapsodize about the elegant design and astounding complexity of the human brain—the most complicated, most sophisticated entity in the known universe, as they say. David Linden, a professor of neuroscience at Johns Hopkins University, doesn’t see it that way. To him, the brain is a “cobbled-together mess.”

Job stress can affect your children
Working parents might think they leave it at the office, but kids know better. Whether adults realize it or not, their job-related stress affects their children, scientists said here this week at the annual meeting of the American Psychoanalytic Association. Over the past 30 years, time spent at the office has jumped 10 hours a week. And one in three employees in the United States reports feeling chronically overworked, said Ellen Galinsky, president of the Families and Work Institute in New York.

Affairs of the heart keep Woosnam on the pulse
For Ian Woosnam, the initial thrill of being asked to captain this European Ryder Cup team was soon replaced by apprehension. What about the speeches he would have to make over the week, the first of which would be going out to millions on live television? (The European Ryder Cup team won the title again in 2006.)

When your body breaks down, it may be from stress
When Cathy Perry’s blood pressure and cholesterol began climbing and her waist expanded by a few inches, she blamed middle age. When her memory became fuzzy and she frequently forgot familiar names and phone numbers, she attributed it to impending menopause. And when she seemed to catch every cold and virus that went around, she pointed to her two kids. Her doctor, however, said just one culprit could be responsible for many of her symptoms: stress.
