Introduction to Stress Management
Stress is the wear and tear that our minds and bodies experience as we attempt to cope with our daily lives that are continually changing. People often think of stress as pressure at work, a sick child or rush-hour traffic. These events may be triggers, but stress is actually the body’s internal reaction to these triggers. Stress is the automatic fight or flight response by the body’s internal protection system. Stress is as individual as a fingerprint it also reveals itself in many different ways, but the one thing that it always has in common is the effect it causes on our ability to cope with situations. If the demand put upon us is greater than our coping skills, we become stressed. So Stress Managements aim is to hone and fine-tune the skills that are needed to cope with the modern life we lead. There are also a lot of new skills that can be taught to help the client be one step ahead. Stress Management when implemented can improve your life at work and home because when you are not stressed you at your best and everyone, family, friends, and your employer will notice this change in you and the benefits will be endless. |
