Be Aware Of The Road, But Stay In Your Lane.” “The Mind’s Chaos Can Create Distortion Of The Truth.” Nigel D St. Hill
Dear friend, what is stress? Stress is a strain or force that taxes the system to such a degree that it begins to break down. In the human system, this means physical, emotional, psychological, interpersonal, or spiritual tension greater than the person can handle.
In effective self-management, you need to attend to different aspects of yourself. You need to take a self-inventory to ensure that all the different parts of you are in good working order.
Since each person is unique, the degree of stress that each of us can handle is different. Where one person might thrive on stress another buckle at the thought of it. The process of managing stress is an individual concern.
The problem, of course, is that most of us were never taught about stress, how to notice it before it becomes an issue and how to manage it when it has grown out of control.
Being creatures of habit, we gravitate to what we know, to what is familiar. Our coping mechanisms are for the most part without thought, scrutiny, or conscious choice.
What Produces Stress?
Since stress is a daily phenomenon of our times, let’s examine some of the things that cause it;
Confusion and ambiguity about gender roles, expectations, and priorities.
- Role: confusion, conflict, overload, underload either on the job or at home.
- Glut and bombardment of options.
- Rapid pace, heavy demands, and the pressure of intense competition.
- Sensory assault from all angles, resulting in overstimulation.
- Lack of time, lack of direction, frustration, and monotony
- Emotional traumas relating to family, loved ones and friends.
- Changes in lifestyle, economic status, marital status, career or job situation, increase or decrease in the family unit, relocation in-home or job.
- Feeling disconnected from our real feelings, being out of touch with our wants, fear of making mistakes, fear of taking risks, communicating, and being abandoned.
