Ways to Handle stress!

  • Change is the only certainty of life. Therefore, change your attitude to change, in order to change your distress (negative stress) into eustress (positive stress).
  • Reducing your expectations: E (expectations) - A (achievements) = F (frustrations).Therefore, to reduce frustrations : either decrease expectations or increase achievements. It's much easier to reduce expectations. Thus a positive change in your attitude reduces your expectations or increases achievements. This reduces your frustrations and hence, your undercurrent of harmful stress.
  • Practise relaxation and meditation which is the best antidote to stress.
  • Gain more emotional maturity.
  • Higher emotional quotient (EQ) gives you lower stress.
  • Develop positive mental attitude.
  • Do all those small jobs that give you high degree of personal fulfillment.
  • Learn to take better decisions.
  • Always maintain high self-esteem.
  • Learn to be assertive for your self-respect.
  • Train your mind for better time management.
  • Manage your priorities.
  • Make SMART goals and achieve them.
  • Manage your fears by facing them squarely.
  • Forgive others and yourself and drop the chains of the past.
  • Manage your guilt and anger.

Stress can strike anytime and in any place. A good suggestion from a friend of mine is meditation (her suggestion and tips on how to apply meditation could be found here : http://www.siakoi.com/health/stress-killer.html )

Personally, I just do my job before it accumulates, and take time off every now and then. Though, meditation is not so bad an idea :D
