STRESS MANAGEMENT

Dictionary definitions do not quite capture the meaning of stress as it is seen and
experienced in the world of work. One of the Webster’s definitions describes it as
an “…emotional factor that causes bodily or mental tension.”
A practical way of defining stress is the feeling one gets from prolonged, pent-up
emotions. If the emotions you experience are pleasant and desirable – joy, elation,
ecstasy, delight – you usually feel free to let them show. They are not suppressed.
Therefore; positive emotions do not usually cause stress. Negative emotions, on
the other hand, are more often held inside. They are hidden. You suffer quietly
and you experience stress. Do not confuse positive situations with positive
emotions. A wedding, for example, is a positive situation that often brings about
the negative emotions of anxiety and tension. So stress can exist in great
situations.

Causes and Effects of Stress

Just as there is great variety in the range of emotions you might experience, there
are many possible manifestations of stress – in your private life and in your working
life. Here are some words that describe the emotions associated (as cause and
effect) with stress.
Anxiety
Pressure Anger
Misery Panic
Strain Dejection
Desperation
Tension

Prolonged stress can be devastating; burnout, breakdown, and depression are

some of the potential results of long-term, unmanaged stress. By wearing a mask,
you may expect to hide stress caused by problems in your personal life and not let
them influence your performance on the job. This will probably not work. The more
you try to hold your emotions in, the greater the pressure build up- will be.
Everyday frustrations cause stress build-up

From the time you wake up until you go to sleep, you may be confronted with a
succession of stressful situations. Managing to get yourself (and possibly a
spouse and children) out of bed and ready to face the day can be a challenge to
your patience and ingenuity. Driving to school or work can be harrowing –
especially if you’re running late. You may experience frustration in arranging to get
the car repaired. You may face conflicts in school or at work, such as coping with
unrealistic deadlines, equipment failures, or unexpected bad weather. If part of
your job is selling, you may experience feelings of rejection when most of your
customers say “no.”

A series of stressful and frustrating experiences throughout the day can cause you
to lie awake at night in an emotional turmoil – unable to get needed rest. You face
the next day with less emotional and physical stamina. After another stressful day
and another night without rest, you may have even less emotional strength and
stability. Therefore, stress build-up, if not resolved, continues day after day.
Problems in our personal life can be devastating

Surviving the normal, everyday stress described above can be difficult. But far
more serious and painful circumstances can create long-term stress. More serious
stressful circumstances may include separation from loved ones, personal illness,
or illness of a loved one, death of someone you care about, or conflict with a
spouse or close friend. Other major causes of stress are problems with drug and
alcohol abuse, domestic violence, care of children and elderly relatives, chronic
mental illness, injury, physical handicaps, even moving to a new home, if you’ve
lived in the same place for more than 10 years. The list goes on and on.

Managing your personal finances can be another stressful experience. This can
be a problem no matter what your income level, but it is especially difficult if you
 must support a family and do not earn enough to live comfortably. Unpaid bills,
unwise use of credit, and budget limitations can make life difficult.

A common cause of stress is dealing with life’s transitions

This is especially true when a person must cope with too many transitions all at
once. For example, Ellen has just completed a program in fashion merchandising.
She is eager to get started on her new job. Her mother is ill and requires care. Her
father died a few months ago. Ellen’s new job requires that she relocate to a town
100 miles from home. The move, a new career, and a change in family
relationships may cause excessive stress for her. Too many changes have arrived
at the same time.
