Hello again it is your friend Gill Mathias here.
I am a Stress Management Specialist and as you are aware stress is a part of most people’s lives. It is the disease of the 21st century. But we all need to have different mechanisms in place for coping with stress. The challenge for most of us is actually being aware of when we are stressed.
This all becomes a habit and most of the time we are not aware of the personal indicators. So, what are yours?
Physical signs are the most obvious –
- Biting nails?
- Perspiring?
- Clenching teeth?
- Do you feel your muscles tightening or have a headache?
However, maybe your signs are more intangible.
- Do you feel overwhelmed?
- Do you get anxious?
- Maybe you are irritable?
- Maybe afraid or feel FEAR?
If you want to cope with stress you need to learn which of the above triggers the situation of stress.
- List the significant symptoms when you are feeling stressed.
- Go through each point and write down the stressors that usually triggers this state.
- Think about whether you have the desire and discipline to do something about it. We all get wrapped up in drama of situations and can’t see the wood for the trees.
In some ways it seems easier to let the “snowball of stress” continue to gain momentum instead of employing our force of will to stop it.
Maybe, if you are honest with yourself you may come to the conclusion that you are not committed to changing.
Maybe you are just good at being stressed!
What if you embark on this new path of “less stress” and you fail. Fear of failure and fear of change are a natural human response.
The real failure comes when we let FEAR stop us.
