Stress Awareness Month - Stuttgart Daily Leader

All of us experience stress of one kind or another. It seems to be an inevitable part of life. Some stresses may be large and some may be small, but we all have stresses in our lives. Even happy events can be challenging. 

Since April is Stress Awareness Month, here are some stress management tips:

  • Look on the bright side. It may seem cliche, but our attitude toward the stress event or challenge determines how we cope or don't cope. Find something to learn from or grow in or be grateful for.
  • Consider your resources- people, things, your own talents, skills, and abilities. Then don't hesitate to use them. Some people find talking with a trusted person about the stressor is helpful. Others may develop a hobby or interest in something positive to cope.
  • Remember stress – good and bad is a part of life and many others have survived and thrived in similar situations. Research how others have coped successfully, join a support group, or get professional help if appropriate.
  • Change the things you can and accept or cope with the things you cannot. Never make decisions in haste or anger or frustration, or any negative emotion. Thinking clearly through the situation and the best course of action or adjustment is more helpful. Again, rely on your resources for help.
  • This too shall pass. While it's difficult to see the rainbow in the storm. Often when we look back, we see the blessings from the stressful situation.
