New Book Teaches Readers to Control Stress in Seven Weeks
Certified Health Education Specialist (CHES) Dr. Richard Blonna will forever change how you feel about stress in "Seven Weeks to Conquering Your Stress."
Hillsborough, NJ (PRWEB) December 17, 2006
In his new book, "Seven Weeks to Conquering Your Stress," author Dr. Richard Blonna says, "Everyone is unique when it comes to stress. Rather than force everyone to adapt to one rigid way of managing stress, I will help people develop a personal approach to coping that is holistic and revolves around their needs and lifestyle."
Dr. Blonna believes there are no universal stressors; what stresses one person will only challenge another. He teaches that stressors are really just "potential stressors" until one feels threatened by them and consequently feels unable to cope with them. By developing a broad repertoire of coping strategies, a person can resist the urge to stress and with time, will have the ability to see potential stressors for what they really are and react accordingly.
Dr. Blonna's strategies are based on the Five R's of Coping Model, which he developed over a decade ago and published in "Coping With Stress in a Changing World 4th Edition" for use in college classrooms across the country. In "Seven Weeks to Conquering Your Stress," Blonna has modified the Five R's of Coping Model for adults in "real world" settings. The model consists of five tactics for coping with stressors, essentially revealing five levels of defense against stress -- Reorganize, Relax, Release, Rethink and Reduce.
Dr. Blonna shows readers how to use the five levels of defense against stress to design personal stress management programs tailored to their unique personalities and daily lives. Dr. Blonna's approach is basic but personal and therefore, can be applied to any stressor and all people. There is something for everyone in "Seven Weeks to Conquering Your Stress."
