This document discusses and compares several stress reducing services: iStretch, an app for office yoga stretches; Zazen Lite, a meditation timer and bell app; and Stress Shifter, a program for shifting stress responses. iStretch allows users to do yoga stretches in the office without moving and helps muscles that get stiff from typing. Zazen Lite provides simple meditation timers and bells. Stress Shifter aims to help users permanently shift from stressful reactions to being calm through conscious thinking, but may require too much effort.
Yoga/mindfulness practices and mobile apps can help reduce stress at work by stretching tight muscles and promoting relaxation and focus. While simple stretching apps provide physical relief, mindfulness techniques may help stress levels more quickly by shifting thinking patterns from subconscious to conscious reactions. Long-term programs aim to permanently alter stress responses, but require more effort than brief yoga videos or meditation timers. Audio brainwave entrainment can also promote relaxation, but some may find the sounds distracting.
Martina is a 36-year-old postdoc from Sweden living in California who practices yoga to help control her emotions. She gets easily annoyed when disturbed in the lab and has trouble taking criticism without explaining herself. While she knows yoga techniques to manage her emotions, she wants a way to be reminded of the most effective techniques in crucial situations when her emotions start to take over.
The document describes an experiment where 30 participants were asked to view their world as if it was their last day alive for 10 days. The goal was to create awareness and calmness. However, the daily tasks added stress rather than calm. It was suggested to focus on a personal goal over a few days to promote more calm. A 3-day awareness shortcut was then tested. The document argues that awareness is the first step to calm, happiness, and self-compassion. It provides a "recipe" for viewing one's last day that incorporates choice, personal relationships, and avoiding stressful social media. The next step mentioned is tapping into existing fun behaviors.

This document discusses helping yoga practitioners better manage negative emotions in work meetings. While yoga provides benefits, practitioners still struggle with overreacting to feedback or disturbances at work. Current solutions like self-help books, meditation classes, and retreats are not personalized or applied to real-life situations. An individualized approach is needed to more quickly help practitioners bridge the gap between their yoga training and everyday work life experiences.
Technological ability is more important than calming ability and motivationChristin Staubo
The document discusses a project aimed at creating calming technology and behavior change. It involved experiments with participants to test different levels of participation and types of feedback in raising awareness about technologies. The insight from the experiments was that technological ability may be more important for success than calming ability or motivation. The principle put forth is that different types of participation are key to a positive experience in raising awareness.
This document discusses and compares several stress reducing services: iStretch, an app for office yoga stretches; Zazen Lite, a meditation timer and bell app; and Stress Shifter, a program for shifting stress responses. iStretch allows users to do yoga stretches in the office without moving and helps muscles that get stiff from prolonged sitting. Zazen Lite provides simple meditation timers and bells. Stress Shifter aims to help users permanently shift from stressful reactions to being calm through conscious thinking, but may require too much effort.
This document provides conversion tables for various units of measurement including temperature, volume, length, and weight. It lists common conversions between the Fahrenheit and Celsius scales, U.S. and imperial gallons/liters, inches/feet/yards and centimeters/meters, and ounces/pounds and grams/kilograms. Additional information is given on converting between currencies like dollars, euros, and pounds. The conversions are intended to help travelers easily convert between the units of measurement they are familiar with and those used in Barcelona, Spain.
1) The document describes a study testing the effects of deep breathing on emotional control and calmness. It outlines two tests of taking deep breaths, and participant feedback.
2) Insights from Test 1 suggested that people often overreact and later regret their actions. Test 2 focused specifically on taking two deep breaths.
3) Participant feedback indicated that taking deep breaths helped them feel calmer, though some noted it was hard to remember to breathe when stressed or excited about planned activities. Most said they would continue participating.
This document discusses radiography of the eye. It begins with basic anatomy and indications for eye radiography, which is used to localize foreign bodies. Obsolete methods are mentioned. Image quality is of utmost importance to detect small foreign particles, and techniques to improve quality include reducing geometric unsharpness, using a close object-to-image receptor distance, and small focal spot. The document also describes basic projections - lateral, PA axial, and parietocanthal - including patient positioning and central ray direction. Evaluation criteria for each projection focus on optimal density, lack of rotation or superimposition, and beam restriction.
Only smiling at others works well in small town settings with few people, as larger cities have too many people where most don't make eye contact. Smiling has a double positive effect, as it relaxes the smiler both from walking and from smiling at others, in a way that encourages people in small friendly towns.
