Stress Management

Stress is the extra tension that we take which causes us to undergo numerous health

problems – both physiological and psychological. Thus, it is important to alleviate stress

as much as possible. Stress management is therefore the relief of stress that is important

for everyone to know. A lot of factors can cause stress and in stress management, the

elimination of these triggering factors is as important as other factors. A lot of research is

being carried out in the domains of stress so that more analysis regarding stress

management can be done.

Stress has a huge impact on the physical health. It can cause cardiac problems, tension

headaches, weight loss or even weight gain. There is no reliable outcome of stress on a

person as different people react differently to it. In some cases, it can become quite fatal

as it can even cause cardiac attacks or strokes.

Human beings are creatures of extreme variance. Therefore, their reactions to stress

management also vary to a great extent. All the methods for stress management might not

be equally effective for all human beings. That is why, one has to discover their own

personal tool for alleviating stress. Firstly, the cause of underlying stress should be

evaluated. Stress can be related to work pressure, family pressure or any underlying

health problem over which one has little control. Spouses, children or work peers can be

the one who trigger the stress one faces. Work issues such as stringent deadlines,

increased workload, annoying boss, gibbering workmates or a low salary can all enhance

your stress levels. Thus one has to discover their stress causing factor or multiple factors

so as to be able to control stress.
