Learning To Deal
With Stress
The fust step to coping with
stress is to become sensitive to the
particular ways in which your own
body responds so that you recog
nize when you under stress. Be
alert to these signs and dozens of
others. Recognize them in your
self as well as in those you love.
Stress often causes some degree of
feeling low. You hurt all over.
What should you do about it? For
tunately, there are many ways of
learning to deal with stresses of
life and moderating the toll they
take on your health.
Unhealthy Ways To
Deal With Stress
Two of the more common ways
in which we have learned to deal
with stress is an unhealthy manner
includes internalizing and using
mood-modifying chemicals.
Many of us have grown up believ
ing that we must always “Stand of
our own two feet: Shape up and be
a man,” "Keep your chin up and
carry on" All these admonitions
are very well except that if you’re
confused, irritated, scared, angry,
etc., these emotions are being
expressed. They’re being express
ed internally, where they do dam
age to your body. When your

emotions are denied, covered up
and not faced realistically, you get
sick. In addition, when you inter
nalize your stress, you can't con
trol the damage it does.
Another unhealthy way of deal
ing with stress is the over
utilization of mood modifying
chemicals. Stay away from these
except under a doctor’s supervi
sion. Tranquilizers, drugs, and
alcohol are not solutions to stress
problems. If you use these habitu
ally as crutches to relieve your
“tight tummy" or your anxiety,
you will fail miserably. You
should consider the use of drags as
a temporary measure to help you
through a crisis rather than as a
routine, day-to-day method of
coping with normal stress.
Healthy Ways Of
Dealing With Stress
Often an effective way of cop
ing with potential stress is to avoid
those situations or circumstances
in which stressors are likely to be
high. Unfortunately, one cannot
always avoid those situations or
circumstances. One can however,
develop certain skills to help mod
ify stress responses. Several
methods of coping with stress are:
1. Like yourself. You are a
unique individual. Respect your

abilities. Recognize your needs,
forgive your emit.
2. Define tasks at hand by deter
mining what you want to accom
plish and how you will proceed
realistically. Work on one task at a
time. When anxiety creeps in,
think about what else you may be
trying to do and recheck your
expectations are they to high?
3. Learn to accept what you
cannot change. Some circustances
are beyond your control. Accept
realistic expectations and go about
achieving them, with assistance if
needed.
4. Talk about your troubles. At
times, confiding worries to a spe
cial friend or a trained profession
al may relieve your stress. Often
another person can help you see
your problem in a new light or
find a new possible solution. Wor
ry constructively.
5. Relax creatively. Take time
to do something you really enjoy,
or learn the art of loafing. If you
set aside time to relax, don’t let
anything interfere.
6. Work off tensions. Try a
physical activity like walking or
gardening.
7. Keep yourself physically fit.
Know how many hours of sleep
you need. Having enough sleep
regulary will help give you a
refreshed outlook on life. Eat
nutritionally balanced meals.
Have a regular exercise program.
If the stresses you are feeling
interfere with day-to-day living
and application of one or more of
the above methods of coping with
stress do not seem to eliminate the
symptoms you’re experiencing, it
is suggested that you contact your
physician or a mental health
professional.
