Some Tips for Stress Management



Before discussing stress management techniques, there are several factors to consider.

The following 7 tips have been adapted from the American Psychological Association ("Stress Out Sheet, Check 2018") to support individuals with a stress management plan:

1. Understand your stress
How do you stress It can be different for everyone. By understanding what stress looks like for you, you can be better prepared, and access your stress management toolbox when needed.

2. Identify your stress sources
What causes you stress? Be it work, family, change or other possible thousand triggers.

3. Learn to recognize stress signals
We all process stress differently so it is important to be aware of your personal stress symptoms. A combination of the above symptoms of low tolerance, headache, stomachache or tension.

4. Identify your stress relief strategies 

What do you have to calm down? These can be behaviors learned over the years and are sometimes not healthy options. For example, some people face stress by self-healing with alcohol or more food.

5. Implement healthy stress management strategies
It is good to be aware of any existing unhealthy coping behaviors so that you can replace them for a healthier alternative.

6. Make self-care a priority
When we make time for ourselves, we place our goodness in front of others. It may feel selfish to start, but it's like an airplane analogy - we must put our oxygen mask on before helping others. The simplest things that promote well-being, such as adequate sleep, food, downtime, and exercise are often overlooked.
