We’re going to give you many suggestions

We’re going to give you many suggestions in this
chapter. Not all of them will work for you, but we’re willing
to bet that some of them will.
There are three major approaches to manage stress.
The first is the action-oriented approach. In this method, the
problems that cause stress are identified and necessary
changes are made for a stress free life.
The next approach is emotionally oriented and in it, the
person overcomes stress by giving a different color to the
experience that caused stress. The situation, which causes
stress, is seen humorously or from a different angle.
I especially advocate this approach to stress
management. Sometimes if you don’t laugh at a situation,
you’ll cry –uncontrollably. That’s no solution. So learn to
see the humor instead of the doom.
The third way is acceptance-oriented approach. This
approach focuses on surviving the stress caused due to
some problem in the past.
The first stress management tip is to understand the
root cause of your stress. No one understands your problem
better than you do. A few minutes spend to recognize your
true feelings can completely change the situation.
During this process, identify what triggered the stress.
If someone close to your heart is nearby share it with the
person. If you are overstressed and feel you are going to
collapse, take a deep breath and count till ten. This pumps
extra oxygen into your system and rejuvenates the entire
body.
When under severe stress meditate for a moment and
pull out of the current situation for a little while. Stand up
from your current position and walk. Stretch yourself. Soon
you will find that the stress has lessened.
