D. Abstraction What is Stress and Stress Management?
Stress is a mental reaction to our body experiences due to
the demanding circumstance or event that requires
immediate action and attention. This reaction initiates our
nervous system to produce adrenaline and cortisol
hormone and release it in our blood system; gradually, it
suppresses the functions of our immune, digestive and
reproductive system. That is why it becomes essential to
handle our stress level effectively to keep ourselves
physically and mentally fit.

Causes of Stress
The actual cause of stress varies from person to
person; a situation may be stressful for an individual,
but for others, it may consider as challenging. The
various stressful conditions and situations which
plague the mind of many people are called ‘stressors’.
The stressors are generated by our own perception
depending on our personal traits, thought process,
habits, available resources and so on. Some people
consider financial issues, health problem, conflict in
the relationship, job satisfaction, etc., as the source of
conflict while another person becomes stressed for
some mundane issues like a busy schedule, time
pressure. Actually, when the challenges are greater
than our ability to encounter them, we feel stress.

Effects of Stress
We always consider stress as a negative impression on our
mind. But a certain amount of tension is helpful for
triggering a stimulus to overcome the challenging
situation. A certain amount of positive stress, which is
known as eustress, is vital to enhance our positive energy.
On the other hand, the negative stress, which we call
distress, is responsible for all kinds of physical, mental,
behavioral problem. The below diagram clarifies the
various patterns of stress level on ourselves.
Importance of stress management
If we start to live with a high level of stress, it impacts on
our mental equilibrium as well as physical health. We
detract from a healthy lifestyle, and even a high amount of
stress hampers our productivity level also. The ultimate
purpose of our life is to enjoy a balanced life with timely
work, healthy relationships, relaxation, and fun. That is
why effective stress management is essential to handle
our stress level efficiently when it occurs, that we can
think clearly, perform our professional role productively
and relish healthy life.

Various skills or techniques to handle stress

1. Time Management: Time limitations can elicit stress in
people’s lives. Work schedules sometimes become
overloaded, which causes some individuals to feel
overwhelmed. In order to manage this kind of situation,
one can make a plan of priorities to do the work
accordingly. This will help to reduce the stress and even
a manageable schedule which can complete within the
time frame.
2. Self-limitations: Knowing your own limitation and
performing your work accordingly helps to alleviate the
unnecessary stress. Creating your own boundaries is
essential for healthy, stress-free living. Boundaries
mean we create some internal rules for ourselves to
take care of our well-being. Sometimes it is good not to
involve in any kind of racing thoughts which may also
aggravate stress. It is suggestible to deviate your mind
from that kind of thought and involve yourself with
some activities which give relaxation and refreshment
 to your mind.
3. Friendly social network: Sometimes, a supportive
network of friends and relatives help to face the
challenging situation with stability and less stress. Their
encouraging words and listening ears become
supportive.
4. Reduce the noise: You may try to distract yourself from
all kinds of technologically advanced gadget and
manage some time to stay in quiet. You can notice that
those things which you consider most important for day
to day life are very trivial.
5. ABC technique: The well-known ABC (A – Adversity or
stressful situation, B – Beliefs or the way response to
the situation, C – Consequences or the result of your
belief) technique was first introduced by psychiatrist
DR. Albert Ellis, and later it was adopted by Martin
Seligman. The purpose of the technique is to think
optimistically.
6. Healthy Diet: A healthy balanced diet gives fuel to the
body and mind function; it helps us to cope up with any
stressful situation. Reducing the consumption of
alcohol, caffeine, and sugar is a proven way of
decreasing stress or anxiety. If our body gets proper
nutrients, stress can likely occur in our everyday life.
7. Exercise: Maintaining a consistent routine exercise is a
sign of following a healthy lifestyle. Exercise helps our
body to reduce tensions and relax muscles.
8. Meditation: Use the techniques of deep breathing,
breathing exercise, yoga, yogic sleep, meditation to
control our physical and mental being. Meditation helps
to calm down our body and mind to awaken our inner
power.
9. Sleep habit: Adequate sleep is necessary to rejuvenate
ourselves. It is helpful to boost our immune power and
also increases mental alertness, memory, and
concentration.
E. Application Read the situation below and list five steps that you will do
to cope with the given situation.
F. Assessment 10- item quiz
