PRACTICE THE 4 A’S OF
STRESS MANAGEMENT

❑Avoid unnecessary stress


Learn how to say “no.” Know your limits and stick to them.

Avoid people who stress you out. Limit the amount of time
you spend with that person, or end the relationship.
Avoid hot-button topics. If you get upset over religion or
politics, cross them off your conversation list.
PRACTICE THE 4 A’S OF
STRESS MANAGEMENT

❑Alter the situation


Express your feelings instead of bottling them up.. If you don’t
voice your feelings, resentment will build and the stress will
increase.
Find balance. All work and no play is a recipe for burnout.
PRACTICE THE 4 A’S OF
STRESS MANAGEMENT

❑Adapt to the stressor


Adjust your standards. Perfectionism is a major source of
avoidable stress. Stop setting yourself up for failure by
demanding perfection.
Practice gratitude. When stress is getting you down, take a
moment to reflect on all the things you appreciate in your
life, including your own positive qualities and gifts.

STRESS MANAGEMENT

❑Accept the things you can’t change


Don’t try to control the uncontrollable. Many things in life are
beyond our control, particularly the behavior of other people.

Look for the upside. When facing major challenges, try to look
at them as opportunities for personal growth. If your own
poor choices contributed to a stressful situation, reflect on
them and learn from your mistakes.
GET MOVING

Exercise releases endorphins that make you feel good,


and it can also serve as a valuable distraction from your
daily worries.
❑ Put on some music and dance around.
❑ Take your dog for a walk.
❑ Walk or cycle
CONNECT TO OTHERS

There is nothing more calming than spending quality


time with another human being who makes you feel safe
and understood.

Of course, it’s not always realistic to have a pal close by


to lean on when you feel overwhelmed by stress, but by
building and maintaining a network of close friends you
can improve your resiliency to life’s stressors.
MAKE TIME FOR FUN AND
RELAXATION

You can reduce stress in your life by carving out “me”


time.
Do something you enjoy every day. Make time for leisure
activities that bring you joy
Set aside leisure time. Include rest and relaxation in your daily
schedule.
The act of laughing. Helps your body fight stress in a number
of ways.
MAINTAIN BALANCE WITH A
HEALTHY LIFESTYLE

In addition to regular exercise, there are other healthy


lifestyle choices that can increase your resistance to
stress.
❑ Eat a healthy diet.
❑ Reduce caffeine and sugar
