Objective:

 The learners demonstrate

personal ways of coping with
stress for healthful living.
Stress Management
Keep Stress Under Control

 Too much stress can negatively impact

our mental wellness.
 It may also put you at greater risk of
becoming involved in risk-taking
behaviors.
 You need not, and should not, live
your life in emotional stress and
discomfort.
Understand the Causes of Stress

 It requires deliberate, conscious effort

to pause and simply ponder your
situation.
 Be familiar with emotional or
physical symptoms of uncontrolled
stress.
 Discover your stressors, which create
the stress in your life.
Analyze your Stress Factors and
Write Them Down
 Analyze your stress factors and write
them down.
 Analyze stress responses and
consequences, and consider each item, and
ask why.
 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.
Deal with the Stressors
 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.
 Restructure your priorities so you can
get the task that you have been avoiding
out of the way and off your mind.
Learn to Work under Pressure
or Unusual Conditions
 When you can’t reduce the stressors,
you need to manage your stress
response.
 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:
 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.
