Stress 101

Stress is one of the most common things in life.
It's either a +ve stress or -ve stress.

Good stress brings motivations whilst bad stress could lead to depression.
Is "stress" to be blamed on?

No..oh no,no..
Stress isn't a the major problem here,
the problem comes from how individuals cope with it.

Let's talk about it's origin:
STRESS = Comes from Pyhsics! (suprising isn't it?)
It means to excerpt a force on an object.

In physiological terms it means:
Human's reaction on demands in both pleasant and unpleasant situations. =)

So what appropriate ways to deal with stress?
Here are some guidelines:

1. Know ur own stress signals.
Early signs include irritation, gaining or lossing weight, smoking, drinking and insomnia

2. Listen to ur body's demands
In need of a nutritious food and good exercise.
Exercising maintains a stress free environment and it keeps ur mind off from the stressful life.

3. Make plans and act when appropriate
Direct the stress energy to plan a step ahead.
This reduces the sense of worrying too much other than weakens the original cause of stress.

4. Cope with situations that are out of control.
Need to just accept things inevitably.
For example, in a heavy traffic you need to be patient and wait till ur turn to move.

5. Pace activity.
Try breaking a big task into smaller portions.
24 hours isn't feasible enough to complete it.
Small steps makes it less stressful other than having a nice progress on the task given.
It also helps u to keep track on ur task.

Hope it helps =)
