If You’re Stressed, Make Like Smalley
If You’re Stressed, Make Like Smalley
A popular 1990s-era Saturday Night Live character, Stuart Smalley, would gaze into a mirror and declare, “I’m good enough, I’m smart enough, and doggone it, people like me.”
Now, research may have caught up with Smalley’s habit of positive affirmation.
A new study shows that affirming personal values can improve mood and problem-solving skills.
Previous studies have shown that self-affirmation exercises can reduce acute stress, but the link between these improvements and chronic stress-related effects was unknown, according to a press release.
In the current research conducted by investigators at Carnegie Mellon University, a group of students rated their levels of stress over the last month, and half the group then performed a self-affirmation exercise. Students who had completed this exercise scored significantly higher on a subsequent problem-solving task under pressure than those who had not performed the self-affirmation.
“A brief self-affirmation activity is sufficient to buffer the negative effects of chronic stress on task performance and can improve the ability to solve problems in a flexible manner during high stress periods,” the authors said. “Our study suggests that self-affirmation may increase creativity and insight in stressed individuals.”
The research was published May 1 in the open access journal PLOS ONE.

Bedtime Meditation
June 11, 2013 by Jennifer
Filed under Massage at Studio Salon
No need to be mystified by meditation, says Steven Hartman, director of professional training at Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health. To ease into a practice, try this simple mantra-based technique. Start with five to 10 minutes right before bed.
1. Lying on your back, close your eyes and notice your breath.
2. As you inhale, focus on a soothing phrase, such as “I am safe and whole.” You can say it aloud or in your mind. When exhaling, silently repeat the mantra. The specific phrase isn’t that important, says Hartman; the mantra’s purpose is “to give your mind something simple to focus on.”
3. If your mind wanders, gently turn your attention back to your breath and back to the mantra.

Aromatherapy Could Reduce Nicotine Cravings

Aromatherapy Could Reduce Nicotine Cravings
Someone craving a Marlboro could do well to reach for an aromatherapy stick instead.
New research looked at the effect of two inhaled essential oils (black pepper or angelica) on the nicotine habits of students, staff, and faculty on a U.S. college campus.
Both black pepper and angelica reduced the level of nicotine craving and allowed a longer delay before next use of tobacco. However, black pepper reduced the level of craving more than did angelica, and angelica allowed for a longer delay than did black pepper, noted an abstract published on www.pubmed.gov.
“Aromatherapy may be useful in nicotine withdrawal,” the researchers noted. “Further studies are warranted.”
The Effects of Aromatherapy on Nicotine Craving on a U.S. Campus: A Small Comparison Study was published in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine.
