Introduction To Stress Management
 |
Oh yes, Stress bites. There are no qualms about it, at least negative stress that is.
Stress is actually known as a product of the interaction between one’s coping ability and the demands that require testing of such abilities. And stress is generally associated with a lot of negative symptoms that affect a person on physical, psychological and emotional levels.
Different models and definitions are discussed to help people understand stress better:
- Transactional Model – This suggests that stress results from an imbalance between demands and the resources possessed by a person
- Health Realization Model – This suggests that the nature of thought has a profound impact on shaping a person’s stress levels.
- The scientific definition of stress encompasses both the positive as well as the negative effects of stress to define this phenomenon. This definition states that stress is a condition when a person perceives that “demands exceed the personal resources that the individual can make available.
Regardless of the stress model and definition, one thing is for sure. Stress is known as a medical condition and become a serious matter. Thus you need to learn to deal with it, because the intensity of stress depends upon the cause of stress.
For example, stress could be a combination of stressors related to the work place and an individual’s inability to cope, while a different stress situation could arise due to added pressures at home. Hence the level of stress felt may be different and result in different outcomes at home and at the office environment.
