There is another effective and well-studied relaxation technique in which you alternately tense and relax your muscles in order to learn to recognize muscle tension and relax at will. This technique - progressive relaxation - was developed by Dr. Edmund Jacobson when he noticed that the muscles of his bedridden patients were still tense, although the patients themselves looked quite serene. Their muscle tension (clamping), according to Jacobson, was the result of nerve impulses sent to the muscles, which ceased upon recovery. Progressive relaxation is sometimes called neuromuscular relaxation. This procedure includes a specific sequence of exercises that help people reduce the degree of unnecessary muscle tension.
Although the Benson Relaxation Response as a form of meditation became popular in the 1970s, meditation itself has been known for a long time. Actually lane

Copernicus What was so unacceptable in the heliocentric system? The fact is that a person needs a sense of security, and this need is most likely based on a hidden sense of insecurity. A moving earth is a much less reliable place than a stationary one. Moreover, this system deprives.

CHAPTER 4 REMOVAL OF THE CHARM Like the servant in The White Snake discussed in the previous chapter, the servant in this tale is the heroine of individuation, and her story is an example of several key moments in the process of individuation of a woman. However, now the process begins with a sudden and severe loss. Taken from a young woman.

INTERPRETATION OF POINT #21 In reality, everything is exactly the opposite. If a man is bored with a "home girl", then this means that he needs the chosen one to somehow resist him. It follows from this that such a man has not yet overcome the teenage need for self-assertion - moreover, in the simplest of them.

Part 3, CHRONIC FORM OF SUICIDE First, one should not indiscriminately accuse fate and the surrounding world of destructiveness, because most of the destructive tendencies are inherent in human nature.

Part II. THE MIND OF INDIVIDUAL PEOPLE The basis of alcoholism in women in many cases is laziness. But this is not that laziness when a person lies on the couch, “spits at the ceiling” and enjoys it. This is lazy thinking. It happens like this: a particular woman had a misfortune in her personal life, but she lacks willpower.

Man and woman in the light of socionics An intuitive boy may experience difficulties in the presence of a sensory girl. It is not easy for him to dominate, because she is more determined and sometimes physically stronger. In addition, she is better oriented in everyday matters, quickly masters practical skills and therefore experiences superiority over this one.

Chapter 5. Behavior in an extreme situation: The study of camp life suggests that in conditions of extreme isolation, the influence of the environment on a person can become total. The survival of a person then depends on his ability to retain some area of ​​free behavior, to keep control over some important ones.

XIX century Touch, apparently, is awake no longer than sight. But at the same time, even not very strong tactile impressions are enough to quickly drive away sleep. It is claimed that the fold in the rose leaf was enough to prevent the sybarite from sleeping. Let us take into account the exaggeration and confess that we are on the road.

There is also such an approach as rationalization which is well known to all of us. Remember the situation when a student who has not passed an exam or a test begins to blame the evil teacher, a limited amount of time, work, friends, classmates, anyone and anything, but not himself. As a rule, this technique is used in order not to lose the respect of others, and also in order not to cease to respect oneself.

And, finally, one of the most constructive mechanisms of protection against stress, psychologists call sublimation - the transformation of socially unacceptable motives into acceptable behavior. For example, instead of showing aggression towards someone around us, we can push them back in various forms of competition - sports, political, business, etc.

Stress management - stress management.

Individual stress management includes two main areas: relaxation and behavior modification.

Basic technique relaxation was developed at the beginning of the last century. It consisted in a consistent concentration on various parts of the body, alternately relaxing and tensing the muscles. Patients were required to focus their attention on the sensations that come with relaxation, which helped to gradually achieve more and more complete relaxation. Of course, over a hundred years these basic techniques have improved, and now relaxation combines the approaches of meditation and auto-training.

Behavior modification especially necessary for teachers who are characterized by increased activity, excessive assertiveness and who live with a constant feeling of time pressure. Behavior modification consists in replacing the negative emotional reaction associated with a stressful situation with a positive one ( sublimation).

Stress is the main reason for the formation of stress, therefore, the main means for the prevention of adverse functional conditions is the use of stress management techniques, namely self-regulation, reflection and recovery. It is the use of stress management techniques that will help maintain the psychological health of a teacher, including a young specialist, and prevent "professional burnout".

Greenberg, J., Stress Management, 2002. Stress Management 7th Edition Masters in Psychology Series

What can you know, Jewish boy? This is what my son heard from classmates when he was in high school. During his training, incidents motivated by hatred and discrimination occurred episodically. However, after discussing what was happening with the parents of the students, we were sure that this would not happen again. However, there was no guarantee that my son would never again

ganet the object of a biased judgment - for example, when he wants to receive pre-

Now, by the look of my son, one cannot tell that he is a Jew (although his surname does the trick - the Greenbergs were never mistaken for Irish),

therefore he is not affected by the prejudice to which he might be exposed. Imagine what grounds for discrimination is the external resemblance to a representative of a minority - whether it be African Americans, Indians, Asians or Latinos. I recently returned from a trip to

Japan, where I was treated like a "stranger" because of my appearance. There I understood how minorities feel every day. It's a pity that not all of us are able to go to a country where we are a "minority".

This chapter addresses the question of the relationship between stress and diversity.

population groups. We consider factors such as health, wealth, education, and family structure in relation to our differences: race

ethnicity, cultural background, gender, age and disability. First you need to realize that being a person belonging to a minority

gwu means to constantly face financial difficulties. It's connected

poor health, lower levels of education and low social

economic status, unemployment and atypical family structure,

sotya is not the point at all. Among the "colored", the elderly and the disabled, there are many

celebrities; however, fame is not easy for them. They are exceptional

necks, but also hope, especially for those young people who have come out of that

All strata live in the same conditions and who are interested in achieving success. All this does not detract from the gravity of the burden of being a representative of one or another 1ninism in the United States, but, on the contrary, emphasizes that belonging to a minority

shnetwu does not mean an inglorious future. Although you will sometimes feel as if you are swimming against the current, not moving from your spot, know that there were swimmers ahead of you with similar thoughts and feelings, and now they are sitting on the shore and planting the fruits of their labors.

First priority given chapters - to define the concept of "minority". The need for this will obvious if we accept that women in the States are a minority, although they are the majority of the population. Moreover, when all other minorities come together, they constitute a significant part of our society and are expected to increase significantly. For example, according to CensusBureau It can be seen that in 1990 the US population was as follows:

The forecast for 2050 is as follows: . whites - 52.5%;

You can see how much the population will change in 50 years. In fact, by 2010, Hispanics are expected to become the most numerous minorities in the United States, displacing African Americans. There will be other changes as well. By 2050, the population will grow by 52% to reach 392 million. Eighty million will be people over 65. This is approximately 20% of the total population (compared to today's data - 12.5%). Besides TO In 2050, there will be 26 million children under the age of eighteen, representing 23% of the population.

In Webster's Dictionary webstersNewWorldCollegeDictionary,1996) word minority defined as a racial, religious or ethnic group that is smaller than and distinct from the dominant group or nation in society. In this regard, there is a need to define what is race and ethnicity. Race divides people according to different physical traits (for example, hair, eye, skin color), blood, genetic patterns, and hereditary characteristics that are unique to this group of people. . The three main races are Caucasians, Negroids and Mongoloids. Ethnos - a group of people inheriting customs, characteristics, language and history . Latinos are an example of such an ethnic group.

Now everything seems to be clear, but one thing remains but. For example, the government uses the word "Latino" to make it convenient to classify people. This classification is needed to facilitate the satisfaction of needs specific to a particular population group. For example, if there is information about a certain problem in this ethnic group, then it is possible to eliminate this problem in a timely manner. The main disadvantage here is

because it's an overly general term. As for Hispanics in the United States, inside this groups, there are differences in cultural education, health status, and so on between those who come from, for example, Peru and those from Mexico, or between those who come from El Salvador and those from Bolivia. The same can be said about Asians in America. The Japanese are different from the Chinese, Koreans and Vietnamese.

For convenience, African Americans, Hispanics, Asians, Indians, the elderly, and the disabled are named as minorities. You may notice that certain groups (such as children) were not included here, or you may say that some group should be excluded. But someone proceeded from the fact that it is necessary to take into account the limited possibilities of this book and the focus of the problem. And that "someone" was me. However, if you would like to know more about these and/or other minorities, you can refer to the bibliography at the end of this chapter.

The data presented here is consistent with government data as it is the only data available to us.

Positive aspects of minority status

In the next section, we will discuss the health status of minorities. You will find out that in general the health status of the minorities is worse due to poverty, low education and various specific problems. This is sad, and if you are a member of a minority, you have most likely experienced the hardships of the "minority" yourself. Tem not

least this chapter does not overlook the contribution of minorities to the health and well-being of others and their minority brethren.

If we take the Asian community as an example, we will notice that acupuncture is the main treatment and valuable contribution to the culture of Americans of different ethnicity, culture, race and religion. We can also note herbal treatment, the use of meditation as a relaxation technique and other useful innovations that improve life. Americans. Respect for authority, the value of education, self-discipline, modesty and responsibility to elders are examples of other values ​​that Asians have brought to their own community. And into the lives of other Americans.

The Indians helped us understand the concept of holism, which led to the birth of the whole holistic movement. Harmony and health have long been revered by the Indians. Thanks to them

we know that everything has physical, spiritual, emotional and social aspects and that to maintain health it is necessary to achieve harmony (balance) between them. Moreover, a sense of harmony develops into a conviction of a single

In Asian families in America, the strength of the family is valued. success in education

the essence of everything, that is, harmony with others and with the universe. The concern for the environment, which is fundamental in the culture of the Indians, is based precisely on these concepts.

Latinos demonstrated to other members of society the value of social and family support. Although it is sometimes lacking (for example, when medical care is not provided on time and it remains to rely on the advice of someone close), members of the Hispanic family always feel responsible for each other, always try to be there and protect each other from various misfortunes (for example such as homelessness). They always keep in touch with relatives (uncles, aunts, cousins, and so on). It is not at all uncommon for a Hispanic family, already living in a limited area, to receive distant relatives who have just arrived in the United States. In addition, the spiritual aspect of health, the importance of which is confirmed empirically, has always been in the first place in Latino families. The church is central to their lives and is also a necessary support during difficult times.

The church plays a major role among African Americans as well. African Americans are often involved in church affairs, becoming members of various committees and offering services to the community. The institutions they set up help to cope with stress in many ways. In churches, you can get emotional support, as well as material (for example, financial assistance). Such institutions and their activities are a good example that others would do well to follow. The ability to enjoy life through sports, the arts, or social work is also an African American contribution to our society. This book has repeatedly said that stress management requires a holistic approach. Undoubtedly, African Americans hold this point of view, thereby setting a good example for us.

An Introduction to the Problems Members Face

One person who reviewed this chapter said that he thought it was too negative. That is, it covers too many alarming statistics and issues. I don't make excuses. It angers me that minorities in the world's greatest country are suffering from ill health, poverty, lack of education, increased infant mortality, crime, violence, and so on. I presented the data as it is, without embellishing reality. Minorities in the United States and elsewhere suffer from deprivation and therefore experience constant stress.

Stressors affecting representatives

Members of minorities face stressors that create special problems for them, and this affects their health. Members of minorities are subjected to more stress than members of the white race. commonwealth fund (commonwealthfund) conducted a study, the results of which showed that 36% of minority members are subjected to severe stress, while among whites only

26% adults . The biggest stressors for minorities versus whites are money (25% vs. 17%), fear of violence or crime (18% vs. 8%), problems with spouses or partners (11% vs. 6%), and misunderstandings sides family members due to racial or cultural differences (5 vs. less than 0.5%). Moreover, members of minorities were more likely to be physically assaulted than Caucasians in at least the past five years (12 vs. 9%).

Racism is one of the biggest stressors of our time. Racial prejudice is based on the belief that one's race is superior to others. Among the many consequences of racism, heart attacks, strokes, cancer and other diseases associated with high blood pressure stand out.

When a person leaves his cultural environment and enters another, there is a need for "adjustment". Immigrants try to master the skills inherent in the new culture and master the new system in order to successfully integrate into the new environment. Often this is not easy, as some of the norms of the new culture are contrary to the norms of the native culture. What adaptation strategy to choose? Ignore the norms and standards of the new culture or stick to their cultural values? For example, in some Eastern cultures, respect and obedience are valued, and these traits are nurtured in children. However, when Orientals move to the United States, a country that values ​​independence, assertiveness, and competitiveness, the traits instilled in their families will prevent them from succeeding and flourishing in the new culture. They are stuck at the crossroads of cultures.

The clash of cultures can manifest itself in other ways. Irujo gives several examples of standard culture clashes in the United States.

Eye-to-eye avoidance for African-Americans means recognition of the power of the interlocutor, while for whites it is a sign of fickleness and insecurity. Differences in visual behavior can lead to misunderstandings. For Latinos, a direct gaze carries a sexual connotation, while a gaze and raised eyebrows are a manifestation of anger.

Africans, Arabs and Latinos use touch very heavily when communicating with each other, while the British, Japanese and Americans use it very little. In some situations, touch causes confusion and discomfort.

The gap between cultures was shown very well in a survey of Hispanics conducted by the newspaper Washingtonpost with the Henry J. Kaiser Foundation (There is not J. KaiserFoundation) and Harvard University. More than 2,000 Latinos and approximately the same number of Europeans and African Americans were asked questions about lifestyle and perception of the world. 90% said it was important to stick to their culture, and 60% said they had nothing in common with English or African Americans. And almost everyone said they consider discrimination against Latinos to be serious.

problem. Imagine what it's like to move forward in life if your culture is perceived that way.

Stressors associated with the need to adapt to a new culture

As it was Shown introduction to a new culture often requires increased adaptation, which often turns into stress and affects health. This explains the high blood pressure, mental illness, and higher suicide rates among emigrants compared to the country's native population. One of the moments related to adaptation is mastering a new language. A language barrier can prevent employment or force you to accept a low-paid job. This is despite the fact that many of the immigrants are well educated and are considered skilled professionals in their countries. Decreased self-esteem is just one of the consequences of such a situation. Another consequence is the need to work a huge amount of time to feed the family, the need to be away from the family for a long time and the inability to communicate and raise children. For example, although Asian Americans are considered the most economically successful of all minorities, they are paid less for their work in education than whites and work longer hours for the same money. A chain reaction begins - a long absence of parents has a bad effect on children.

Speaking of children, it must be mentioned that they adapt to a new culture faster than their parents! The native culture is not yet so deeply rooted in them, besides, children are more flexible. When children become Americanized faster than their parents, there is often a split in the family. For example, children want to be more independent than their native culture allows. Or they want to wear fashionable clothes that are more revealing than is customary in their home country. Or they may refuse to speak their native language at home, preferring English. Be that as it may, parents feel completely different in a different cultural environment and continue to demand from children that they behave according to the standards and canons of their native culture. Both parents and children then feel the consequences of such stress.

Other stressors associated with the development of a new culture

In addition to language, work, and cultural divisions within the family, minorities often cluster within cities. Therefore, they may suffer from certain prejudices. For example, police are more likely to stop minority cars, even though this And prohibited by the constitution, or they are trying to check the state of affairs, being allegedly superior to paragraphs of the provision.

Moreover, crime and violence are very frequent in such inner cities and in mainly aimed at members of minorities. This category includes crimes against people of a particular nationality, race, sexual orientation or religion. It's called crimes on the basis of hatred. They represent a major stressor that minorities have to face. Somewhere between 1983 and 1990, 62% of such

crimes were committed against representatives of different races, 56% against African Americans, 1% - against Europeans and 10% - against immigrants from the East; the rest accounted for 5% of crimes.

These stressors can cause And physiological and psychological consequences, like all other stressors. Next, we will discuss health and stress issues for individual minorities as well as communities.

Physical exercise will help you improve your health, but smoking, on the contrary,

Minorities and so-called white Americans are very different from each other in terms of health. Imagine how stressful it can be to realize that there is a huge health gap between minorities and the general population, especially if you are from a minority. The government report on the 2000 health promotion goals states:

“People with low economic status have little income, poor education and insufficient vocational training. Women are at risk in areas of psychosocial and psychophysiological stress reactions. They also include the unemployed or those with inconsistent work people, lessers. - all of them are extremely susceptible to psychophysiological disorders.

In fact, when developing the 2010 health targets, one of the first to be named was “Closing the health gap”.

It is clear that racism has a negative impact on health, and it is not at all unreasonable to assume that the same is the case with sexism prejudice and discrimination based on age, socioeconomic status And physical qualities. In this chapter, we will look at some of the particular aspects of health that are relevant to minorities.
