Stress is almost everywhere. The death or illness of a loved one, family problems, work problems, financial problems, legal problems, constant daily hassles, all cause stress. Our attitudes and personality can also cause stress. An ambitious, competitive, time pressured executive has stress, but so does a passive, helpless, victimized housewife.

Most ailments are either caused by or affected by stress. Stress or mental tension causes the body to malfunction resulting in irritability, headaches, insomnia, respiratory disorders, high blood pressure, heart attacks, digestive disorders, ulcers, sexual dysfunction etc, and has even been associated with cancer. These are referred to as psychosomatic disorders, or mental tensions, that affect the body.

Creating your own stress defense systems as follows will help you manage stress better.

  • A stable home, family and friends
  • Occupation and job satisfaction.
  • Financial security.
  • Realistic goals and proper planning.
  • Stress identification and problem solving.
  • An assertive and balanced personality.
  • A sense of humor and philosophical attitude.
  • Good health and appropriate nutrition.
  • Sufficient sleep, relaxation, prayer and meditation.
  • Physical activity and daily exercise.

The first step in managing stress is to develop a stress free personality. A high self-esteem, assertive behavior and a positive attitude help in building a stress free life. It also helps to focus on areas where control and change are possible, thereby reducing stress. A few tips to change stressful behavior:

 

  • Plan to be idle for a little while everyday.
  • Listen Music/Good news without interruption.
  • Compartmentalize.
  • Know your stress points.
  • Enrich & update yourself.
  • Prioritize with significant persons.
  • Plan time and activities.
  • Delegate and support.
  • Maintain a detached overview.
  • Nurture a support group.
  • One task at a time - slow down.

Any exercise programme done regularly utilizes the body's excess stress hormones. Exercise not only makes the body fit, but it also helps the heart and lungs to increase their activity during stressful situations. Relaxation and meditation techniques result in calming brain waves, and reducing the effects of stress. This is especially effective with stress related ailments and regular meditation helps overcome addiction to tranquilizers, reduces hypertension, insomnia, depression, anxiety and other psychosomatic illnesses.

The easiest way to meditate is by either lying down, sitting on the ground or sitting on a chair in a comfortable position. Eyes should be closed and noise eliminated to reduce internal stimulation. Soft music aids in relaxation. You may like to practice relaxation techniques, different forms of meditation, yoga, etc.
