Strategies of Stress Management

Actually this is quite easy, bcos whatever answers also available and that's no actual right or wrong answers, just make sure the way you mentioned can work..


1. Become aware of your stressors
Notice your distress , determine what distress you. (exam, task, car, lover, no money...)

2. Recognize what you can change
Can you avoid the stressors? Can you reduce them? (take a break, adjust time schedules, use less money.....)

3. Reduce emotional reactions to stress
Try to temper your excess emotions, put the situation in perspective.

4. Moderate physical reactions to stress
Slow, deep breathing can help you to relax.. learn to moderate the reactions is a preferable long-term solution.

5. Build your physical reserves
Exercise 3-4 times a week (walking, swimming)
Get enough sleep, mix leisure with work, take break & get away when you can

6. Maintain your emotional reserves
Develop some mutually supportive friendships
Set meaningful goal to yourself
Expect some frustrations, failures, and sorrows
