As promised, I am starting to post bits and pieces of the book, as I see the needs are great and the book is available and ... why not?  Enjoy and contact me via my website, or email at dr.mike@ihealsolutions.com,
 if you want a copy of the book.  Electronic copies are not yet available "officially", but I do have paper copies & can put electronic copies on a disc for those who want it that way.
So, this will be a work in progress on the blog ... with The NEW Stress Management Workbook taking shape as I put pieces of the original Stress Management Workbook out here on my blog, with additions, links and commentary on the Original.
Ciao for now,
Dr. Mike

The STRESS

Management Workbook

numerous and varied as its causes.  The Stress Management Workbook is a unique, complete

guide to recognizing the factors that are evoking stress - at home, at work, in school, and in

your relationships with family and friends. Once you've identified what's causing you to

experience stress, you've taken the first big step toward overcoming it!

The questionnaires, checklists, and self-evalution tools you'll find throughout the book will

helpyou to measure your personal reactions to stress and to develop a stress management plan

that is tailored to your day-to-day needs. The authors teach you how to use such time-proven

stress management techniques as meditation, exercise, deep muscle relaxation, diet, and

self-hypnosis.

Other features include:

STRESS - You're bound to experience it at some point in your life.  Its symptoms are as

• An "Integrated Model of Health and Disease" - which helps you to pinpoint the physical and

emotional effects stress can have on your well-being.

• Diet guidelines - You'll learn which common foods can ease or increase the symptoms of

stress.

• Practical stress management exercises that you can fit into your busy schedule.

The stress Management Workbook combines the best of modern medical information with

realistic self-help techniques. As the authors emphasize, a certain amount of stress in your life

is normal and healthy. This book simply shows you how to find and keep the perfect balance for

you - so you can enjoy life to its fullest!
