How to Manage Stress
Stress is an inevitable emotional component that we all need to
face almost every day in our life, and that affects us both
psychologically and physically. However, we should focus on
understanding how to manage stress in our life. It is crucial how
we encounter stress and how we cope up with different stressors
all around us. Before proceeding further with the analysis of how
to manage stress, you need to have a clear understanding about
stress and its impact on your life.
Stress and Its Impact
Stress refers to such conditions when all of our emotional
awareness gets centralized to a certain point of anxiety and
tension. Not necessarily each and every experience of stress is
bad for us, for example, stress before marriage; however,
prolonged stress is found to be harmful to our health, whether it
be a positive or a negative one. Say, for example, you are working
as a grant writer on freelance basis. You are earning quite
handsomely. However, you find that earning and work is directly
proportionate and you can earn as much as you can work.
Gradually, you put extra effort to make your earning higher. It is
good to take stress up to certain point. It will enhance your
potentiality. But when you simply forget to stop working till you
get fully exhausted, that means you simply forget to prioritize
between your health and work. No matter what, it won't run for too
long time. The result is the breakdown of health and the
occurrence of health hazards associated with stress such as
headache, fatigue, exhaustion, irritation, anger, depression,
cardiac complications and many more. So, as we can understand, at
any point of our life we need to know how to manage stress in
order to maintain a healthy balance in our life.
Combating with Stress
The first important thing is to remember that stress is a truly
individualized experience. What seems stressful to me may not seem
stressful to you. So the pattern of management should essentially
be individualized. However, here in this article, we are
discussing some common modes of operation that are generally used
for managing stress.
The modern world demands for time management. If you cannot manage
your time properly, it is highly likely that you will not be able
to avoid experiencing stress in your life. Therefore, to know how
to manage stress you must first know how to manage your time. The
most important rule of time management is priority setting. You
should know how to set priority to your task. Consider the above
example, what do you suggest? What should be your action before
you get overstressed totally? Yes, you need to take a break and
relax. If you have been working under stress for prolonged hour,
it is always advisable that you should give yourself time to
relax. It will help your body and mind to take rest and get
recharged once again.
The next important thing that comes in line is setting up
realistic goal in life. It is true even for little works. Say,
your daughter is capable of attempting 10 math problems in an
hour, whereas you compel her to attend at least 25 per hour, it
means you are simply making her overstressed. The result may come
out apparently better, say with an attempt for 13 math problems in
an hour, in short term span, but the situation will be
deteriorating in long term span resulting in anger, anxiety,
frustration, depression and lack of self-esteem. All of these are
integral parts of stress. At this point, as you can understand,
you need to know how to manage stress by setting up realistic
goal. You may work out on step by step basis with an option to
absorb more if potentiality allows.
Hence if you are serious about how to manage stress, you need to
remember three essential key points. These are - arrange time to
relax, set up realistic goal and prioritize your task.
