COPING WITH STRESS
LEARN TO IDENTIFY
YOUR STRESS
One key in learning to cope with your stress is to learn
to identify what it is that is stressing you.
Some of the main causes of stress may seem obvious to you: debt,
work, family. But that’s actually very vague. There are many people
who have debt and are not stressed about it. There are many people
who work a lot, but love their jobs. There are many people who have
big families but do not get stressed by them.
So, it helps to be more specific, what exactly at work is stressful,
which part of the workday? What specific behaviour by family
members causes you to feel stressed out?
It is also important to note that what stresses one person may not be
stressful to the next. You are an individual and your stress is unique.
So, you can’t rely on others to identify your causes of stress, you need
to take some time and actually think about it.
Once you know exactly what it is that stresses you out (in the
different parts of your life) then you can start to make plans to reduce
your exposure to these sources of stress.
