Manage Stress

An old proven formula

So your goal is to manage stress. Difficult task. Stress is a tuff enemy taking too many forms. What can you do to beat it?

Here is an old proven formula:

1. Learn to recognize when you are feeling stressed
(We'll talk in detail about symptoms, in another post)

2. Find out what is causing stress in your life
From my experience this is the key point No 1. If you know the cause you have more chances to beat your enemy (stress and its symptoms).

3. Take action.
An active attitude is the key point No 2. Reduce the amount of stress in your life. If possible avoid or alter the stressor. Otherwise change your reaction to stress, either accepting the stressor or adapting to the stressor.

4. Take advantage of effective stress relievers

Next time we'll talk about one of my experiences with stress. That case indicates how you can apply the above proven formula in your life.
