Stress Management

Stress management encompasses techniques intended to equip a person with effective coping mechanisms for dealing with psychological stress.

Definition of stress: Stress management defines stress precisely as a person's physiological response to an external stimulus that triggers the "fight-or-flight" reaction.

Causes of stress: Many things can trigger the stress reaction, including danger, threat, news, illness, as well as significant changes in one's life such as the death of a loved one.

Techniques of stress management include:

• Self-understanding (e.g. self-identification as a Type A or as a Type B personality)
  
• Self-management (e.g. becoming better-organized)
  
• Conflict resolution
  
• Positive attitude
  
• Self-talk
  
• Breathing exercises
  
• Meditation
  
• Exercise
  
• Altering your diet
  
• Taking more regular and effective rest

Some techniques of time management may help a person to control stress. For example:

• Becoming more organized and reducing the generation of clutter
  
• Setting priorities can help reduce anxiety
  
• Using a "to do" list of tasks that a person needs to complete can give a person a sense of control and accomplishment

Effective stress management involves learning to set limits and to say "No" to some demands that others make.
