Reduce Stress

Reduce Stress

Stress is the result of tensions that respond to physical and psychological responses. When this happens, it is too much tension and the body reacts with physiological signals for the purpose of notifying us that there is a potential threat to our wellbeing. These signals help us make decisions. In the past for example, a threat could be the presence of a wild animal that makes you fleeing and eventually help save your life. Today the threats for tension start slowly rather than immediately, such as, the threat of not paying the mortgage, health problems, housing search, among other issues of daily life.

The belief that you should be able to solve all the stress at once and be able to do it yourself without seeking other resources of support may actually decrease your ability to cope with the stressors. The origin of stress could be caused by internal or external factors. That is, we can produce stress from internal sources such as beliefs, attitudes and thoughts that adds additional stress to our lives which affect us emotionally and make us unable to confront and solve problems effectively. On the other hand, stress produced by external sources that occur around us. Such as traffic, marital conflict, family and money problems, among others.

Some of the recommendations to manage stressors we face every day could include:

1. Identify beliefs that lead you to have unrealistic expectations about the situation of stress.
2. Listening to music helps to distract and maintain calm while you are in a stressful situation, such as traffic.
3. Always work to enhance self-acceptance and self-esteem help you to judge and not push yourself too far, for example, be in control and want to solve everything at once.
