STRESS MANAGEMENT

The main definition of stress is  'a condition, or feeling, experienced when a person perceives that demands exceed the personal and social resources that they are able to mobilize.'

People feel very little stress when they feel as though they have the time, experience and resources to deal with certain people and situations. They feel great stress when they 'think' that they cannot handle the demands put upon them. It is very much dependent on the perception of the person and the real ability to cope. Stress is responsible for the activation of the flight-fight response, which releases hormones throughout the body, designed to give people the energy needed to survive any real or perceived threats to their life.

Managing stress is all about taking control. Taking control of thoughts, emotions, behaviours and the way problems are dealt with. The ultimate goal is to have a balanced life, with time for work, relationships, fun, relaxation plus the inner strength to cope with life's pressures and meet challenges head on. 

The stress response can be controlled with techniques, such as self hypnosis, or some other goal oriented processes that evoke the body's natural relaxation response; a state of restfulness that is the opposite of the stress response. Regularly practicing these techniques will build physical and emotional resilience, heal the body and boost overall feelings of joy and contentment.
