Question

For this discussion, there will be two parts to your post.

First, a resource on stress management. It could be something that describes the anxiety. It could be something about how to get control. Please stay away from the "6 things articles". Most of them aren't worth reading. An article that focuses on one thing and goes into depth on how is valuable.

Second, you will want to fill out and upload the Stress Reduction Plan Worksheet. The format is something you can mostly fill out while watching a TV show. However, you can modify the worksheet to give yourself more space to fill something out. To fill out the worksheet, be sure to look over the PowerPoint files I have made available.

Third, for your reply look over what others has submitted and provide advice on how to deal with a stressor or a stress reduction technique that you use that provides a great deal of benefit.

Explanation / Answer

Stressor is a something which causes release of stress hormones; stressor may be any external stimulus or condition which causes stress.

To deal with stressors there are different stress reduction methods/techniques.

The stress reduction technique which I use is:

Focusing on breath, it is a very powerful and simple technique which provides much help in reducing stress. In this technique we take long and deep breath. As we breathe we disengage our mind from thoughts or conditions which causes stress.

If you are feeling annoyed, angry and about to burst in anger just start taking deep breaths by closing your eyes it will provide will extra oxygen to your body and will also disengage your mind from that though which provoked you.

Breathing control is very old and powerful tool to cope with stress; we all have heard the term "take a deep breath" commonly used during conversations when someone gets annoyed or angry.

This technique is of great help and one should try it to know its benefits.
