Emotional, behavioral, or physical outcomes of stress
|
From the stress symptoms checklist, simply categorize your responses as
emotional, behavioral or physical outcomes of stress.
Physical expressions of stress need a physical antidote: exercise, relaxation conditioning, change in your diet (less sugar, caffeine, alcohol).
Behavioral expressions of stress require an effort to change
your behavior: go to bed earlier, get up at a better time, make the
effort to connect with friends and enjoy your environment, plan short
intensive work periods to build tolerance for stressful tasks, take
control - do something now!
Emotional expressions of stress require both an emotional and
mental antidote: try to be realistic about what you can and cannot do,
give yourself time to change, recognize negative/self-critical thinking
and replace it with positive/realistic statements, listen to some of
your favorite music, give or get a hug, smile...
