Comprehensive Stress Management

In today's post we are looking at the ways how common people like us deal the everyday stress related issues by doing comprehensive stress management.

John, an aggressive young man, a banker by profession & married to Tania for 2-years now is a victim of High-dynamic life style. His life style demands a good growth for his Banking Profession, where he routes stiff necked competition in a relatively slow world Economy. Every other day hearing about Customer Complains of Inflation & Poverty weakening our financial competencies & knowing that the Banking Deposit targets are yet to achieve, with increasing pressure of maintaining a life style he can’t afford to lose on his job.

Knowing the stress mounting on his head, both from home and office, John remains cool! He remains focused and according to his friends!! Lucky! All the time!! John aggression comes from his Fitness & strength, where John established a beautiful base to float himself like a butterfly. He got those charming looks & a beautiful personality.

Looking on his face gives you a beautiful vibes out of his young dynamic personality; all this is because of his Daily Work-out routines. When he was 12, John’s dad bought him his first Squash Racket, where John slowly developed his stretch for the game. Growing watching the Greats of Jahangir Khan & Jehansher Khan, the legendary sportsmen brought his attention & heart to the game. John early in his college life was squashing & was developing his power to use the chunks of stamina on the desired task at hand, slowly taking on the competition & recognizing that squash had not only played in for his Physical Grasp but also excel him to achieve high Mental calculated risks as well.
The tiring job and late-session squashing with Tania, is what brings Joy, privilege & luck to the family.

Tera, a Teacher & a mother of three, had been teaching since last 12-Years. She got a hectic schedule, where she is preparing Course Outlines, Presentations, Extra Curriculum for her Students & also looking after the kitchen at her own. She is living an unbelievable life, where she got all dedicated to give her best to her Elder Son Tom, for his Education & achievements. Tom, started a dull-mind but with Tera`s un-tiring attitude & pushing Tom to bring out the best had yielded Tom 9-As in his O-Levels Examinations.

All this happened cause of Tera stress-management principals, as daily for 1-2 Hours Tera Attended YOGA sessions. Yoga had given Tera the time to re-gather her thoughts for her Role at home, where her role as a mother played a vibrant part of Tom`s academic success. Tera`s dream is to send Tom on a scholarship to one of the IVYs University. Tom`s hoping to give his SATs soon to achieve his Scholarship at YALE UNIVERSITY.

Bruce is a retired civil servant, & at times thanks goodness for his Pensions to pay-off his medicine bills. Bruce is aging and he recognizes his fears to live long & remain a liability to his son Chris and a rude daughter-in-law Betty. The imagination of his kids getting bored to feed him stresses him out.

How a man who independently survived the heat of Sun, now could fells a victim to the chaotic trauma at home! Bruce, started going to parks and had his seat firmed @ kid`s play-area. The playing toddlers had wiped the tears off Old-man eyes and had given him peace with their mischief & naughty play. Those beautiful chirpy laughter and sigh from the pollution at home had brought the Old-Man a new charm to see tomorrow. Where he used to freak out, he slowly wanted to live to see these beautiful faces bringing about the old-childhood memories he had. He had nicked some of the kids after his old friends and at times buy chocolates and toffees to greet the kids. Bruce, also play and coach the young talent & the kids call him ‘Grand Pa’.

Stress is every where in every form; a little we accept its presence. Stress termites our inner instinct and makes us fall a prey to whelm of our Ecological trauma. Stress can seriously be a villain and can deviate our flow of work and can provide difficulties in the schema of our work-prepositions.

But wrongly done, most of the people involve themselves in negative stress management techniques like smoking liquor and other drugs, stress can be easily managed with the right flow of human affection and can be combine resisted in a team effort. All you need to do is to find the right partners who can prove worthy of their presence and can support you to fight a joint cause to eliminate the villain out of you.

Personal Stress Management Tips

Stress & Personal Stress Management

This article deals with a very important issue of Stress and how to carry out personal stress management. As the topic is self explanatory Personal Stress is one of the major issues in the world right now and people don’t know how to manage it. All people around the world are affected by it and no one is free from the vicious claws of pressures of life and hectic schedule that life has taken nowadays. People sometimes succumb to these pressures and each year spend a fortune trying to overcome it by going to psychiatrists and doctors. The technique or steps to avoid these pressure situations maybe simply defined as Personal Stress Management. Here I would discuss some of the contributing factors which build up stress and most importantly some techniques to vent this stress and frustration. As the saying goes “A stitch in time saves nine”, so we must be ready to curb this problem before it becomes a major issue. So let us start.

First of all What is Stress? According to the Oxford English Dictionary stress is ”a state of mental, emotional, or other strain” stress can be attributed to coming from work, home or other such places. Stress is not the same for every individual and maybe perceived by each person in a different manner. For example riding a roller coaster maybe a form of stress for some of us but for others it is a source of entertainment. The first and foremost thing is to change your attitude and bring about a more positive outlook towards life, the reason being that stress not only affects an individual but also his environment. People around a stressed individual will also feel uneasy and uncomfortable. The first and foremost part of Personal Stress Management is the identification of stress in one’s life and also to read the signs which show if a person is in stress. These symptoms can be sub-divided into three categories Physical, Emotional and Behavioral. Let us see some of the signs or symptoms of stress in each category:

Physical Stress Signs:
• Palpitation
• Breathlesness
• Sweaty palms
• Cold hands and feet
• Headaches
• Stomach disturbances

Emotional Stress Signs:
• Irritability
• Nervousness
• Crying
• Losing temper
• Worrying

Behavioral Stress Signs:
• Insomnia
• Irregular diet
• Angry outbursts
• Withdrawing from others

The above symptoms may have given you a thorough insight into the beginning of stress in one’s life. If these symptoms exist then a person is suffering from stress and needs to slow down a bit. Now to show the ugly side of this stress is also part of this article. Excessive stress and no prevention can be disastrous and will become the building blocks of major illnesses and emotional issues such as

• Depression
• Ulcers
• Headaches
• Weight Gain/Loss.

To avoid all these serious problems one has to end the stress before it becomes a major issue. Some techniques prescribed by the experts are:

Stress reducing habits
• Break down every big job into small parts so you are not overwhelmed.
• Do neck rolls frequently throughout the day to relieve the stiffness in neck
• Avoid being a perfectionist. Just do your best
• Take time out from your work. Schedule regular vacations.
• Exercise regularly and moderately
• Maintain a reasonable diet.
• Develop outside interests and activities.
• Talk it out. Confide to someone close
• Listen to soothing sounds or music.
• Participate in hobbies, sports, games, reading.
• Build friendships, join a social group or society
• Most importantly become an optimist

Now to wrap it all up, to be frank no one can be 100% stress free so instead of being dominated by stress we should learn to adapt our life to have as little stress as possible by adopting natural ways to get rid of stress. Become an optimist so that fewer things will irritate or trouble you. When you stop regarding stress as a harmful thing then matters would improve themselves. Stress is not that bad, it brings spice to life otherwise without stress there would be hardly any motivating factor to accomplish tasks. Just consider this example, students hardly study during the term and when the term is about to end and it is time for examinations then each one is motivated by stress or forced by stress to work hard to clear the exams. Most importantly all the perception lies in the eye of the beholder, how you approach your everyday problems matter, becoming an optimist will solve more problems than you can imagine. We all love thriller movies but what we all fail to see is that these movies are also about human beings like us. Try to act like them and try to learn from movies. Books are also a source of inspiration; reading will not only improve one’s vocabulary but also increases one’s knowledge thus increasing your confidence and increasing your ability to handle difficult situations. Throughout the article I have told about stress, its symptoms and the solutions to decreasing stress. I hope that this article was informative and will help in all your personal stress management in life.
