Q

Understanding why you are under stress is important. This may seem obvious, but it requires deliberate, conscious effort to pause and simply ponder your situation. By now, you are familiar
with the stress response, the emotional or physical symptoms of uncontrolled stress. Now you need to try to discover the stressors, the factors of which create the stress in your life.

Q

Write down your response to stress. For example, you may write down, “I feel tired most of the time. My lower back seems to ache all through the day and night. I miss deadlines and run behind schedule.” Analyze stress responses and consequences, and consider each item, and ask why. “Why am I feeling tired? Why does my back ache? Why do I run behind schedule? Carefully consider each answer, because the answers will reveal stressors, such as deadlines, anxieties, trying to do so much, managing time or money poorly, or poor health habits.

A

ANALYZE YOUR STRESS FACTORS AND WRITE THEM DOWN

17
Q

Develop techniques to deal with the causes of stress. The longer you avoid dealing with the stress factors, the more the stress will build up. If tension comes because you have put off an unfinished task, restructure your priorities so you can get the task that you have been avoiding out of the way and off your mind.

A

DEAL WITH THE STRESSORS

18
Q

When you can’t reduce the stressors, you need to manage your stress response. Almost everyone, at least at some point, has to meet deadlines, keep several jobs going at once, resolve problems that come up, and do extra work when necessary. However, when the pressure mounts, you can relieve it. Relaxation is key—but most people must train themselves to relax when the pressure is on. Some tips to relax when under pressure are the following:
 Stop for a moment (especially when you feel your muscles tightening up) and take a few deep breaths.
 Do a relaxing exercise. Swing your hands at your sides and stretch.
 Take a “power nap.” Lie down and totally relax for a few minutes.
 Find time to do the things you enjoy.
 Leave your study area for a while to take a brisk walk.
 Find a quiet place to read a magazine or novel during break or at lunch.
 If possible, look at some peaceful images such as forests, beaches, etc. These images can initiate a relaxation response.
 Look up.
 Keep something humorous on hand, such as a book of jokes.
