3 Tips How to Manage Negative Stress…Better

September 4, 2018 by eeturner Leave a Comment

It’s true, we all have to deal with negative stress at some point in our lives. But wouldn’t it be nice to deal with it better?

1.) Identify the Root Cause and Know Yourself: It is so important to ask yourself this question, “Why am I so stressed?” Then ask yourself, “Is this the real, underlining, root cause for my stress?” Perhaps work might seem like the reason why you are so stressed but perhaps it is not your work in and of itself but rather your response or attitude towards your work. What can you do to change this?

2.) Take Action: After identifying the root cause of your stress, now is the time to take action. To make a plan to take actionable stress in order to minimize and eliminate the stress in your life. For example, perhaps you need to take a different approach to the stress trigger in your life.

3.) Make a Plan, Stick With It, Assess and Re-Assess the Plan (as needed): What are you going to plan on doing on a daily basis to address the stress triggers in your life? Perhaps you need to make a list, or get an accountability partner or make a tangible commitment that will keep you on track. Commit to “sticking with your plan” and then be willing to make assessments as needed. The assessments are so important because you are changing and your environment is changing (even in small ways that you might not notice).

These three tips are what I have learned along life’s road through my personal experience. I hope that they help you and encourage you.

Feel free to share, how do you manage negative stress?
