A Stress Monitor Proven to Beat Stress

Stress Monitor










Using a Stress Monitor is a vital component playing a very big role as one of the necessary three stress management components for achieving lifelong mastery over stress.

A stress monitor, often called a biofeedback monitor, is a device that provides biological (body) feedback to your mind in order to help you determine your stress response, and to train your body/mind with skills that enable them to work together in partnership relieving the negative effects of stress mentally, emotionally and physically.

We recommend the thermal type of monitor because it is so easy to use, utterly reliable, and (stress relievingly!) inexpensive.

Like its name implies it monitors stress by measuring your body's extremity temperature, using the thumb of your dominant hand, which has been shown to be an accurate indicator of your body's stress response moment to moment.

Thermal Stress Monitor
How Does a Monitor Measure Stress?

Even without any scientific background information the regular use of a monitor will quickly show you the correlation between your stress and your temperature.

Even better, it will show you how your uniquely-you stress responses, and your temperature measurements (as individual as you are), are closely related and interconnected to your various personal stressors, range of stress levels and stress management techniques.



Simply using the thermal biofeedback monitor in different situations will help you discover your stress/temperature responses for yourself, and it will also give you measurable results for determining how well your current stress management techniques are working.

Stress Monitoring is Easy!

Slip the thermal pick up on your thumb and practice your mental relaxation methods. For example, you can mediate, mentally visualize relaxing scenes or simply breathe calmly - whatever you normally do to relax yourself when you are feeling stressed. You will see your temperature rising and falling instant to instant.

Then watch to see to what degree (pardon the pun) your stress management technique, or skills, has affected your temperature.

Temperature Down? A temperature that is falling moment to moment indicates a increased stress level, and illustrates that your method is simply not effective for reducing stress levels.

Temperature Up? Rising temperatures indicate that you are indeed relaxing and managing your stress in an effective, healthy manner.

THE SCIENCE BEHIND THERMAL STRESS MONITORING

The scientific principle behind this phenomenon is at once very simple and very complex.

When you are stressed your body automatically, in a complex array of chemical responses, diverts blood flow from your extremities to your core where it is available for vital organs; conversely the more relaxed you are the more your tiniest capillaries are opened and warmed with blood flow.

Various studies have correlated the temperature degrees with the various mental states of our stress responses such as low temperatures indicating anger and fear, higher temperatures indicating inner calm and emotional balance, and very high temperatures indicating mental drowsiness and sleep readiness.

Your temperature correlates to stress response, and because stress profoundly affects your mental, emotional and physical function, your temperature also relates to specific mental states and physical states.

Today, science has even identified temperature ranges that correlate to optimal performance, which has come to known as the "peak performance zone".
