Ricardo has been conducting a Stress Management Course for the City of Casper that has been well attended. He will be conducting several more and would be more than happy to talk to any of our members regarding stress management for your employees.
The following is an outline of the discourse:
BASIC THINGS TO CONTROL YOUR STRESS
 by Ricardo Sauque
Life imposes many demands and challenges in our daily existence. Stress is one of them and is present in many circumstances and in many forms. In addition, uncontrolled stress can kill us or unable us to perform normally.
Despite many assertions by so called "gurus", stress is manageable, can help to reach our potential and give us many satisfactions.
KEY WORDS:
- (Power): " Having control over outcomes (people, events)"
- (Status): " Having respect and admiration in the eyes of others"
- (Anxiety):" No more than fears"
- (Anger): " It is within ourselves, we own our anger"
- (PTDS): " Exposure to a traumatic stressor (event) as:
- Witness to physical event to our own personal event, such as death threat, serious injury to physical integrity"
- Fears
- Helplessness
- Recurrent images, feelings or perceptions
- Physical, mental, emotional symptoms
- (Projection): " Our own insecurities or faults on others (politicians, children, criminals)"
CONCEPTS OF STRESS:
" Interaction between individuals and environment"
- (Internal Forces):
Concepts, interpretations of reality, worries, regrets, anxiety.
- (External Forces):
Fight or flight.
When, why, who, where.
ACTION VS. REACTION:
We always need to respond to stress in a positive way, it is possible and rewarding when we have ways to reduce negative stress in our daily existence.

Is this really a square?
An optical illusion is difference between reality and what the brain thinks its seeing. The information gathered by the eye is processed in the brain to give a image that does not agree with a physical measurement of the source. There are three main types: literal optical illusions that create images that are different from the objects that make them, physiological ones that are the effects on the eyes and brain of excessive stimulation of a specific type (brightness, tilt, colour, movement), and cognitive illusions where the eye and brain make unconscious inferences.
