Meaning of stress
Stress can have a big impact on
your body, in ways that are felt by
just you, and in way that the world
can see. One of the more visible
potential by-products of stress is
weight gain--many people find
themselves to be "emotional eaters"
who react to stress by reaching for
something--often the wrong thing-to eat. Stress can also create a loss
of apetite, which can be a problem
as well.

Stress management
It is the amelioration
of stress and especially chronic
stress often for the purpose of
improving everyday
functioning.
Stress produces numerous
symptoms which vary
according to persons,
situations, and severity. These
can include physical health
decline as well as depression.

Types of Stress management
 (A)Acute Stress
Acute stress is usually for short time and may be due to work
pressure, meeting deadlines pressure or minor accident, over
exertion, increased physical activity, searching something but you
misplaced it, or similar things. Symptoms of this type of tension are
headaches, back pain, stomach problems, rapid heartbeat, muscle
aches or body pain.
 (B)Chronic Stress
This type of stress is the most serious of all the 3 stress types.
Chronic stress is a prolonged stress that exists for weeks, months, or
even years. This stress is due to poverty, broken or stressed families
and marriages, chronic illness and successive failures in life. People
suffering from this type of stress get used to it and may even not
realize that they are under chronic stress. It is very harmful to their
health

Causes of Stress Management
Whenever our body feels something not
favorable, then it tries to defend itself. If this
situation continues for a long time, then our
body is working overtime.
There are several causes of stress. For
example, you are under stress when you are
worried about something, worried about
your children, worried about the illness of
your father, worried about your job security,
or worried about your loans or similar
things.

Advantages of stress management
Business advantages of stress
management:
 Less absenteeism due to stressrelated disorders
 Less worker's compensation loss
due to stress-related illness or
accidents
 Improved job performance
 Less stressful, more efficient
workplace
 Improved employee attitude
 Improved employee overall
health

Disadvantages of stress management
 Stress is a disadvantage
because it can potentially
raise your heart rate and
weaken your immune
system. Also, it can be a
factor in poor decision
making because under stress
we may not think logically
or consider the
consequences of the choices
we make.

Relief from stress
Stop shallow breathing

Create the habit of deep breaths

Visualize and communicate your vision

Laugh

1.Crack some jokes.
2.Do your goofiest impression
3.Tickle a child that you love.

Be aware of your choices;
you always have a choice

Learn to say no; you cannot do
everything you are asked.

Do nothing. That's right,
folks, do nothing at all.
Close the door, open the
window, have a seat, and
take a little break from
life. If your mind is racing,
learn to meditate and just
let that stress go.

ABC Strategy

A = Awareness
B = Balance
C = Control

So enjoy your life as it comes
………..and always be happy

CONCLUSION
Stress problems are very common. The American Psychological Association's
"Stress in America" poll found that one-third of people in the United States
report experiencing extreme levels of negative stress. In addition, nearly one
out of five people report that they are experiencing high levels of negative
stress 15 or more days per month.
