Stress management is a skill. Some people are good at it, and others could learn a thing or two. There may be steps that you can take to actively reduce stress, immediately or in the longer term. At the very least, most people can benefit from learning skills to cope with stress. There will be times in every person’s life when they experience stress – due to life events, at work at home or relating to friends or family members. Stress is almost unavoidable.
It is important to make good use of the resources that you have available to you (both internal and external). For example, social support has a positive influence on our ability to cope under difficult circumstances. Could you benefit from discussing, exploring and honing your approach to dealing with stress?
