  4. When Stress Becomes a Problem The affects of stress are additive, meaning they build up over time. Unless you find ways to manage stress, it will take a physical and mental toll on you. Chronic Stress: Stress associated with long-term problems that are beyond a person’s control.

  5. Stress-Management Techniques • Use Refusal Skills: Determine whether you have time for a new activity before agreeing to take it on. • Plan Ahead: Manage your time wisely by planning ahead. • Think Positively: A positive outlook limits stress by shifting your perception and the way you react to a stressor. • Avoid Tobacco & Drugs: This will harm the body and end up causing more stress.

  6. Handling Stress and Reducing its Effects • For Stressors that are unavoidable, try to find ways to reduce their negative effects. • Practice relaxation techniques: Deep breathing, pleasant thoughts, stretching, taking a warm bath, getting a massage, laughing, can help relieve stress. • Redirect your energy: Working on a creative project, working out, etc. • Getting support: Talking about your problem can make you feel better

  7. Staying Healthy & Building Resiliency Developing habits that maintain your general health will also help reduce the effects of stress. Get Adequate Rest: Getting 8-9 hours of sleep each night can help you face the challenges and demands of the next day. Get Regular Physical Activity: Physical activity can release pent-up energy and clear your mind. It also helps you sleep better. Eat Nutritious Foods: This helps the body function properly and reduces the effects of stress. Poor eating habits can contribute to stress. Under-eating/overeating and caffeine can increase the effects of stress.
