Reducing, preventing, and coping yourself away from stress.

Stress management identifies the causes of stress in your life.


Stress Journal is good start

This stress journal will help you identify the regular stressors in your life and the way you deal with them. Every time stress discomforts you, list down it your journal. Do it daily, just what you do in your favorite sports car. Jot down the cause/s of your stress if you’re not sure make a guess. Your physical and emotional feeling, how you felt it? Your action in response, how you do it? And what you did to make yourself better.


Once you identify what causes your stress, lean to avoid them on the following day.

But not all stress can be avoided; it’s not easy to evade the situation which addressed to happen. In this case, you eliminate stress by:

Saying ‘no’ to stress – Know your limitations and stick to them. Refuse to recognize additional responsibilities when you’re close to reaching them, whether it is personal or professional life. Taking on more than you can handle is a surely a recipe for stress.

Staying away from people who stress you out –limit the amount of time you spend with the person that consistently causes stress in your life, or end the relationship entirely.

Controling of your environment – Turn off the TV, if the show makes you anxious. If traffic’s got you tense, take a longer route but less-traveled. If going to the market is a horrible task, do your grocery shopping online.

Avoiding hot-button topics – If you get upset over religion or politics, cross them off your conversation list. If you repeatedly argue about the same subject with the same people, stop bringing it up or excuse yourself when it’s the topic of discussion.

Paring down your to-do list – Analyze your schedule, responsibilities, and daily tasks. If you’ve got too much on your plate, distinguish between the “shoulds” and the “musts.” Drop tasks that aren’t truly necessary to the bottom of the list or eliminate them entirely.


In the other side, many people cope stress in an unhealthy way. These may temporarily reduce stress, but in the long run, they may harm your body.
