Stress Management FAQ
What are the Top 5 Stress Management Techniques?
There are many stress management techniques but the most common 5 stress management techniques are:
Abdominal breathing
Abdominal breathing is a very effective relaxation technique. It involves breathing deeply through your nose until your abdomen rises, holding your breath for a few seconds and then exhaling completely until your abdomen falls.
Meditation
Meditation is a very effective relaxation technique. It involves focussing your mind on a word or a phrase as you take deep breaths.
For example if you stressed because you are sick, you can meditate by focussing your mind on the phrase like, “I am perfectly healthy” as you brethe deeply. If your mind wanders, draw it back gently and focus it on “I am perfectly healthy”.
Guided imagery
Guided Imagery is an effective relaxation technique that involves imagining yourself in a stress-free situation by using all your senses (sight, sound, smell, touch, taste).
For example if you are stressed because you don’t have a job, imagine yourself working at your dream job, hear yourself being congratulated for your job performance, smell your cheques as you cash them and taste your favorite desert that you have bought with money that you have earned at your dream job.
If you find yourself in a stressful situation, you can imagine youself in a stress-free place for a few minutes. For example you can imagine yourself on a beach and see the calm, blue waters sea stretching out infront of you, hear the waves laping on the shore, feel the sand between your toes, smell the ocean and taste your tropical drink.
Physical exercise
Physical exercise and specifially aerobic exercises are very effective relaxation techniques. Examples of aerobic exercises include brisk walking, jogging, aerobic classes at the gym and playing games like basketball.
Progressive muscle relaxation
PProgressive muscle relaxation is another effective relaxation technique. It involves tensing and relaxing each muscle group as you become aware of the physcial sensations brought on by muscle tension and muslce relaxation.
To do it, tighten the muscles of your right foot for 5 seconds and notice how it feels and then relax them for 30 seconds and notice how it feels. Follow this with tensing the muscles of the left foot, registering the sensation and relaxing them. Do this for all the muscle groups as you work your way up your body to the neck and head all the while ensuring that you become aware of the sensations of tension and relaxation.
To learn how to do these 5 stress management techniques effectively, call 0721 963 156 to enroll in our Stress Management Workshop.
What are the 4 As of Stress Management?
The 4 As of stress management are as follows:
Avoid
Avoid stress by planning ahead so that you can evade the people, environments, events, activities and things that distress you.
Alter
Change the people, environments, events, activities and things that stress you. For example you can politely ask a work colleague to change their behavior. You can also change the time you spend in stressful family get togethers.
Accept
Accept the people, environments, events, activities and things that you cannot change. As you do so, motivate yourself by giving yourself postive self talks.
Adapt
Adjust your standards and expectations when dealing with people, environments, events, activities and things that stress you and that you cannot change as this will reduce their frustrating effect on you. You can aslo reframe your relationship with the stressfuol people, environments, events, activities and things so that you remind yourself of the benefits you get from dealing with them. For example, you can remind yoursefl that you work in that stressful environment so that you can pay your mortgage.
What are the 3 Types of Stress Management?
According to the American Psychological Association, the 3 types of stress are acute, episodic acute and chronic stress.
Acute Stress Management
Acute stress is short term stress that triggers the body’s fight or flight response to stress. Examples include being called into the boss’s office. To manage acute stress, move you from the stressful situation and engage in an activity that counters the stress response like abdominal breathing.
Episodic Acute Stress Management
Episodic acute stress is recurring intense stress. Examples include multiple tight deadlines at work. To manage episodic acute stress ensure that you maintain your self-care activities (eating, excercising, sleeping) as you change what you can of the activities that are repeatedly stressing you.
Chronic Stress Management
Chronic stress is constant, prolonged stress. Examples include dealing with a terminal illness, abusive marriages and war. These persitently flood the body with stress hormones and result in the development of stress-related diseases. To manage chronic stress, seek professional help like counselling services in Kenya because cognitive behavioral therapy CBT is the most effective therapy for stress. Combine this with leaning on your social support system and maintaining your self-care activities (eating, excercising, sleeping).
