Managing stress



(text summary from Flash piece, above)



http://3yoonh.jeeran.com/fwasel/46.gif




First, recognize stress:
Stress symptoms include mental, social, and physical manifestations.
These include exhaustion, loss of/increased appetite,
headaches, crying, sleeplessness, and oversleeping
. Escape through alcohol, drugs,
or other compulsive behavior are often indications.
Feelings of alarm, frustration, or apathy may accompany stress.


If you feel that stress is affecting your studies,
a first option is to seek help through your educational counseling center.


Stress Management is the ability to maintain control when
situations, people,
and events make excessive demands.
What you can do to manage your stress?
What are some strategies?

1-Look around



See if there really is something you
can change or control in the situation

2-Remove yourself from the stressful situation
Give yourself a break if only for a few moments daily





http://3yoonh.jeeran.com/fwasel/50.gif




3-Don't sweat the small stuff



Try to prioritize a few truly important things and let the rest slide.

4-Selectively change the way you react,



but not too much at one time.
Focus on one troublesome thing
and manage your reactions to it/him/her





http://3yoonh.jeeran.com/fwasel/50.gif




5-Avoid extreme reactions;



Why hate when a little dislike will do?
Why generate anxiety when you can be nervous?
Why rage when anger will do the job?
Why be depressed when you can just be sad?

6-Get enough sleep



Lack of rest ust aggravates stress.

7-Avoid self-medication or escape



Alcohol and drugs can mask stress.
They don't help deal with the problems.

8-Try to "use" stress
If you can't remedy,nor escape from,
what is bothering you,flow
with it and try to use it in a productive way.

9-Set realistic goals for yourselfReduce the number
of events going on in your life and
you may reduce the circuit overload




http://3yoonh.jeeran.com/fwasel/50.gif




10-Don't overwhelm yourselfby fretting about your entire workload.
Handle each task as it comes,
or selectively deal with matters in some priority





http://3yoonh.jeeran.com/fwasel/50.gif




11-Learn how to best relax yourselfMeditation and breathing exercises have been proven
to be very effective in controlling stress.
Practice clearing your mind of disturbing thoughts.





http://3yoonh.jeeran.com/fwasel/50.gif




12-Change the way you see your situation; seek alternative viewpoints



Stress is a reaction to events and problems,
and you can lock yourself in to one way
of viewing your situation. Seek an outside
perspective of the situation,
compare it with yours.
and perhaps lessen your reaction to these conditions.




http://3yoonh.jeeran.com/fwasel/50.gif




13-Do something for others



to help get your mind off your self





http://3yoonh.jeeran.com/fwasel/50.gif




14-Work off stresswith physical activity,
whether it's jogging, tennis, gardening





http://3yoonh.jeeran.com/fwasel/50.gif




15-Begin to manage the effects of stress



This is a long range strategy of adapting to your situation,
and the effects of stress in your life.
Try to isolate and work with one
"effect" at a time. Don't overwhelm yourself.
for example, if you are not sleeping
well, seek help on this one problem.





http://3yoonh.jeeran.com/fwasel/50.gif



16-Try to "use" stress
If you can't remedy, nor escape from,
what is bothering you, flow with it
and try to use it in a productive way.


http://3yoonh.jeeran.com/fwasel/50.gif



17-Try to be positive



Give yourself messages as to how well you can cope
rather than how horrible everything is going to be
. "Stress can actually help memory,
provided it is short-term and not too severe.
Stress causes more glucose to be delivered
to the brain, which makes more energy available
to neurons. This, in turn, enhances
memory formation and retrieval.
On the other hand, if stress is prolonged,
it can impede the glucose delivery and disrupt memory."




http://3yoonh.jeeran.com/fwasel/44.gif


Most mportantly, if stress is putting
you in an unmanageable state
or interfering with your schoolwork,
social and/or work life,
seek professional help at your school counseling center

i always use this step,, & i think it's very importent.. cauze when you once change your way off looking to the things that's around you.. you will be ware of things that you didi n't pay attention to it befor,, or you may see it's other bright side..

You always admire what you really don't understand.
