12 effective tips for Stress Management – The Psychology of managing pressure

What is stress?

Stress happens when we feel we can’t cope with pressure – it’s a state of emotional strain resulting from demanding circumstances, deadlines, sudden information and ongoing and mounting responsibilities.

Symptoms include a feeling of uneasiness, panic or dread – triggers can vary from lack of sleep, to redundancy.

Here are a few effective ways to de-stress.

1. Take a power nap.

   

2. Take up a new project or craft hobby

   

3. Drink some green tea (but make sure it’s decaf).

   

4. Heat relaxes muscles – so have a hot bath.

   

5. De-clutter your home or work desk.

   

6. Go for a run outdoors – 20-minutes a day helps to boost endorphins and reduce stress.

   

7. Take a lunch break away from your desk – take a break from your to-do list.

   

8. Enjoy ‘ME’ time.

   

9. Socialize. Meet. Laugh!

   

10. Keep sugar levels balanced – Grab your favorite chocolate!

    

11. Art therapy – Draw, scribble, pen abstract images.

    

12. Don’t chase perfection and hug uncertainty.
