Stress Management:Be Stress Free In Any Situation
Stress deals with all those unwelcome things, objects, people, complications, events, effects that inevitably affect us (adversely/negatively), causing physiological or psychological STRAIN, pressure, tension or stress, that leads to alteration in normal physical functioning, that gets the fight or flight instinct and response up and ready, keeping us on edge, annoyed, tense, disturbed, uneasy, ready to bail, so to speak, feeling overwhelmed, desperate, even depressed (in some cases).
Stress can either be short-lived, with us for a prolonged period of time, varying in intensity, awareness, duration, severity, who and what it affects, our habits, actions, decisions and behaviour, from within, or without, on many and/or all levels (physical, emotional, mental). It is hard to deal with, cope and overcome, that is the stress challenge.
Here are some more hard-hitting facts, concepts, terminology, definitions and considerations about and for stress, to shed some light on this musing and world-life reality that we all face as part of our existence, quality of life and being:
Stress can be:
a) A state of mental or emotional strain or suspense
b) fatigue and emotional tension
c) stress is a vasoconstrictor
d) stress leads to the depletion of available resources in the personality
e) Oppressive stress is unhealthy and should be outgrown.

i) A stressor or stress trigger can be defined as a physical, chemical or emotional factor causing mental tension

There are various opinions as to what stress is, is not, what to do and not to do in order to best cope with the demands, discomforts, symptoms, dangers, risks, threats etc.
Theories abound about causality, influences, impact and manifestations of stress. It has many guises and faces to make sense of. By no means is it simplistic in its nature and occurrence.
We all know it when we feel and experience it. Yet, it remains elusive and a bit of an enigma, hard to wrap out heads around, despite the fact that it is so strangely familiar.
Stress can be both either positive or negative. It can come from various sources and the there are detectable and treatable , predictable biochemical effects of stress. Prolonged stress, regardless of whether it is positive or negative can be devastating, debilitating and harmful.
If you feel overwhelmed by priorities, living, things to do, people, situations, demands, that would be considered stressful. If you do not have the coping skills, resources or what is needed to respond accordingly and appropriately, you are under what we consider to be stress.
How can you learn to be relaxed, and be stress free? Responses to that question from the masses, fellow human-beings in this journey and battle together, just remember that you are not alone:
a) Anticipate and plan more and better that the littlest thing will not end up throwing you for a loop
b) Being spoilt by someone you love, such as having a romantic dinner or picnic
c) Clear up any and all misunderstandings
d) Delegate responsibilities with consideration.
e) Entertain friends and socialize
f) Essential oils.
g) Full body massage
h) Gardening
i) Get a service to clean the house, do the laundry or take care of the landscaping, mowing and gardening for you
j) Give meaning to what you do and contribute by taking a broader perspective, knowing how what you do, say, think, feel affects the lives and happiness of others
k) Go for a horse-back riding lesson
l) Helping someone else who is having a hard time with something.
Work for more cohesion and flexibility in your life, work , family and more. We are also all unique individuals, so no journey of two people would be the same. Our responses will vary.
We are very different and how we react to stress, triggers and stressors, our thoughts, behaviors and actions will all not be the same under all circumstances. Instinct and thought processes synergize together, as do our life and past experiences, learned behaviors, values etc.
How we respond to stress, clearly shows that we are not immune to its effects (actually no-one really is!) We just react and respond to it very differently. Just imagine being able to utilize and tap into stress and what it can do for you in a positive manner, channeling that energy towards something even greater!
