Stress Management

Stress is the reaction people have to excessive pressures or other types of demand placed upon them. It arises when they worry that they can't cope.

Stress is the "Wear and Tear" our minds and bodies experience as we attempt to cope with our continually changing environment.

There are External and Internal Stressors.

External Stressors include:
• Physical Environment (Noise, bright lights, heat, confined spaces)
• Social Interaction (Rudeness, bossiness, aggressiveness by others, bullying)
• Organisational (Rules, regulations, “Red – Tape”, Deadlines)
• Major Life Events (Birth, death, lost job, promotion, Marital status change)
• Daily Hassles (Commuting, misplaced keys, mechanical breakdowns)
