Stress Management
Stress is the effects on ourselves that we experience as a result of interacting with our environment, eg, our supervisors, our workplace, others in the organization, etc. There can be positive and negative stress. Positive stress can result in our taking action to successfully solve problems in our life and work and can result in feelings of excitement and fulfillment. Negative stress can result in our feeling frustration, resentment and anger -- and even burnout and despair, along with a myriad of physical problems.
Stress can be effectively recognized and managed. The key is to understand our own signs of stress, select a few techniques to manage stress, and then consistently use those techniques.
(Note that poor stress management often shows itself in the form of poor time management. Poor time management can cause poor stress management, as well. Therefore, the two topics of stress management and time management are often discussed together.)
