3. Defines as!!!
Stress is the body's reaction to a change that
requires a
physical, mental or emotional adjustment
or response.

5. When Mahesh joined in Indian Bank in 1985, he
had one clear goal to prove his potentiality. He
did prove that and had been promoted 5 times
since his entry into the bank. Compared to
others, his progress has been the fastest.
Currently his job demands that Mahesh should
work 10 hours a day with practically no holiday.
At least, 2 days in a week Mahesh is required to
travel.

6. Peers and subordinates at the bank have appreciation for
Mahesh. They don’t grudge the success achieved by Mahesh,
though there are some who wish they too had been promoted as
well.
The post of General Manager fell vacant. One should work as a
GM a couple of years if he were to climb up to the top of the
ladder. Mahesh applied for the post along with others in the
bank. The chairman has assured Mahesh that the post would
be his.

7. A sudden development took place, which almost
wrecked Mahesh’s chances. The bank has the
practice of subjecting all its executives to
medical check up, once a year. The medical
reports go straight to the chairman who
would initiate remedial measures, where
necessary. Though Mahesh was only 35, he
too, was required to undergo the test.

8. The chairman of the bank received a copy of Mahesh’s medical
examination results, along with a note from the doctor. The note
explained that Mahesh was seriously overworked and
recommended that he be given an immediate 4 weeks
vacation.
The doctor also recommended that Mahesh must take
physical exercise, everyday. The note warned that if Mahesh
did not care for the advice, he would be in for heart trouble in
another 6 months.

9. After reading the doctor’s note the chairman sat back in
his chair and started brooding over the situation. Three
issues were the uppermost in his mind:
1. How would Mahesh take this news?
2. How many others would have similar fitness
problems?
3. Since the environment in the bank helps create
problem, what could he do to solve it?

10. The idea of holding a stress management
program* is flashed in his mind and suddenly, he
instructed his secretary to set up a meeting with
the doctor and some key members at the earliest.

Mahesh, how would he
react?

the same situation so pick the one
you like.

35. Change your Behaviour

• Assert your feelings, opinions, or
beliefs instead of becoming
angry, defensive, or passive.

stress, remove yourself.
• Don’t compete with others be
happy with what you have.

to do nothing.

36. Be Assertive

situations, and help to reduce
their frequency.

shows low self - esteem and

and beliefs directly, honestly
and spontaneously in ways that
don’t go against the rights of
others.

can make the stress reduced
3. Reading good spiritual books

• That you will be;
• If you think yourselves weak
• Weak you will be;
• If you think yourselves strong,
• Strong you will be
