Stress is our emotional and physical response to pressure. That pressure can arise from external factors including life events, illness (ourselves or someone close to us) living conditions, work, home and family, study, lack of some necessity, or the demands we place on ourselves. Even those events which we see as enjoyable can be stressful, such as holidays, moving home, starting a better job, pregnancy, parenthood, Christmas etc.
ReplyDeleteSelf Help for Stress
ReplyDeleteThoughts which are common when feeling stressed
This is too much - I can't cope!
It's unfair. Someone should be helping me.
I haven't got enough time
I'll never finish
I must get this done...
Emotions
Irritable, bad tempered
Anxious
Impatient
Angry
Depressed, hopeless
Physical sensations
The physical response to stress is caused by the body's adrenaline response - the body's alarm signal and survival mechanism when faced with a threat.
Heart racing
Breathing faster
Tense muscles - e.g. neck, shoulders, abdomen
Hot, sweaty
Headache
Difficulty concentrating
Forgetful
Agitated, restless
Bladder or bowel problems
Behaviour
Unable to settle, constantly busy, rushing about
Lots of things on the go, but don't finish them
Sleep disturbances
Shouting, arguing
Eating more (or less)
Drinking more
Using drugs
Smoking more
Crying
Vicious Cycle of Stress
Identify your stressors - what's making you stressed?
Where am I when I'm feeling stressed? What am I doing? Who am I with?
What helpful changes could I make?
What is within my control?
Even if there is little you can do about some situations, maybe making some small changes - in routine, in the way you handle things, doing things differently, taking time out, thinking about it in a different way, in getting help, seeking advice - could make all the difference
Doing things differently
Do something different (to what you normally do)
Make time for yourself each day - relaxation, fun, enjoyment. Create a healthy balance - allow time for activities which give you a sense of achievement, those that give a sense of closeness to others, and of a sense of enjoyment. When stressed, it's often the case that we spend more time doing things that help us achieve, but less of enjoyment and closeness to others. Aim for a healthy balance as shown in the pie chart.
