How Can I Manage Stress Better?
Identifying unrelieved stress and being aware of its effect on our lives is not sufficient for reducing its harmful effects. Just as there are many sources of stress, there are many possibilities for its management.
However, all require work in order to be effective. Changing the source of stress and/or changing your reaction to it. So you might be wondering how do you do it? Let me show you.
1. Become aware of your stressors and your emotional and physical reactions.
Notice your stress and its beginnings. Don't ignore it. Don't gloss over your problems.
Determine what events stress you out. How much do these events mean to you?
Determine how your body responds to the stress. Do you become nervous or physically upset? If so, in what specific ways?
2. Recognize what you can change.
Can you change your stressors by avoiding or eliminating them completely?
Can you reduce their intensity over time?
Can you shorten your exposure to stress by taking a break, or leaving the physical premises?
Can you devote the time and energy necessary to making a change (goal setting, time management techniques, and delayed gratification strategies may be helpful here)?
3. Reduce the intensity of your emotional reactions to stress.
The stress reaction is triggered by your perception of danger and/or fears physical danger or emotional danger, and fears of failure etc.
Are you viewing your stressors in exaggerated terms and/or taking a difficult situation and making it a disaster?
Are you expecting to please everyone because Im telling you that you cant?
Are you overreacting and viewing things as absolutely critical and urgent all the time? Do you feel you must always come out the winner in every situation?
Work at adopting more moderate views; try to see the stress as something you can cope with rather than something that overpowers you.
Try to temper your excess emotions. Put the situation in perspective. Do not labor on the negative aspects of everything find a positive in them if you can
Take personal time to evaluate your surroundings clearly
Take a deep breath when overly stressed and count backwards from 10
Exercise a little bit or take a walk daily
5. Build your physical reserves.
Eat well-balanced, nutritious meals.
Maintain your ideal weight or appearance.
Avoid nicotine, excessive caffeine, and alcohol.
Mix leisure with work. Take breaks and get away when you can.
Get enough sleep. Be as consistent with your sleep schedule as possible.
6. Maintain your emotional reserves.
Develop some mutually supportive friendships/relationships.
Pursue realistic goals which are meaningful to you, rather than goals others have for you that you do not share because they wont succeed.
Expect some frustrations, failures, and sorrows and let them go.
Always be kind and gentle with yourself be your own best friend.
Reduce the intensity of your emotional reactions to stress. Think about it. We are lucky to get six, maybe seven hours of sleep per night while we now work at least six days per week. |

guidelines for setting goals |
| In learning from mistakes and errors, you are guaranteeing future success. Successful career planners keep themselves on track using a variety of methods, such as: marking tasks on a monthly calendar (noting important dates such as application deadlines or action plans) making weekly or daily lists of things to do and cross off tasks as they are completed using a computer program to create timeline charts which give you your time limits for task completion Using a commercial appointment book or a notebook; even a palm pilot with a new page for each day or week. The process of achieving goals and seeing this achievement gives you confidence that you will be able to achieve higher and more difficult goals later on. Identify the things you need to help you achieve the goal. They will take some real thought and honesty to set them properly. 13. |

| Goals like Go back to school are too general and not specific enough. For example; if you want to better your career options, you will be setting goals that specifically cater to your career. If you follow the things in this section and have remembered the previous sections, you will do just fine because there is nothing to hold you back now. Perhaps it is a lack of talent, lack of ability, personal circumstances, and upbringing. |
