Changes in our lives—such as going to college, getting married, changing jobs,
or illness—are frequent sources of stress. Keep in mind that changes that cause stress
can also benefit you. Moving away from home to attend college, for example, creates
personal-development opportunities—new challenges, friends, and living
arrangements. That is why it’s important to know yourself and carefully consider the
causes of stress. Learning to do this takes time, and although you cannot avoid stress,
the good news is that you can minimize the harmful effects of stress, such as
depression or hypertension. The key is to develop an awareness of how you interpret,
and react to, circumstances. This awareness will help you develop coping techniques
for managing stress. For example, as an Army platoon leader, managing stress will
require techniques that include an awareness of yourself and your Soldiers.
we teach how not to react to stressful situations and delay response if possible. The idea is to analyse the situation, take a step back, take deep breaths, distract yourself if possible. For e.g., Don't send off that 'angry email response'. This helps to take a measured response. Some of the tools one can use are meditation, mindfulness, affirmation meditation and so on. If you practice calm, you can also plan your response in an effective yet assertive way. Emotions play a big part in communication and when someone is stressed and is under pressure to make decisions, emotions can overshadow the response. So by tending to your emotions by taking sometime off just to calm yourself down, to collect your thoughts and preparing a response to the situation, goes a long way in resolving stressful situations
Today, we live in a world full of demands, personal and professional. With the increasing demands, meeting deadlines, increasing productivity, achieving targets, facing competition, our lives have become nothing, but more complex. With so much to accomplish keeping in mind our time constraints, stress is inevitable. The only way to handle a stressful day is to learn how to manage it; this is possible only by acquiring skills on how to handle stress. This course touches on various key aspects such as identifying stress and its causes, approach to stress and dealing with it calmly, changing your attitude and outlook, techniques to overcome stress and working with a positive mind set.

2. What is Stress?
Stress can be
defined as our
mental, physical,
emotional, and
behavioral
reactions to any
perceived
demands or
threats.
3. The “Fight or Flight” Response
When situations seem
threatening to us, our
bodies react quickly to
supply protection by
preparing to take
action. This
physiological reaction
is known as the "fight
or flight" response.
– The physiological
response to a stressor
is known as reactivity
– Physiological responses
can accumulate and
result in long-term wear
on the body

Situations that are imminent
Life transitions
Timing (e.g., deviation from the
“norm”)

5. Not All Stress is Bad…
Distress is a continuous experience of feeling
overwhelmed, oppressed, and behind in our
responsibilities. It is the all encompassing sense
of being imposed upon by difficulties with no light
at the end of the tunnel.
– Examples of distress include financial difficulties, conflicts in
relationships, excessive obligations, managing a chronic
illness, or experiencing a trauma.
Eustress is the other form of stress that is
positive and beneficial. We may feel challenged,
but the sources of the stress are opportunities
that are meaningful to us. Eustress helps provide
us with energy and motivation to meet our
responsibilities and achieve our goals.
– Examples of eustress include graduating from college, getting
married, receiving a promotion, or changing jobs.

8. Why Do We "Stress Out"?
For two major
reasons:
– We perceive a
situation as
dangerous, difficult,
or painful.
– We don't believe we
have the resources
to cope.
9. Stress Warning Signals
What are your "red
flags," or warning
signs, that stress is
creeping into your
life? If we keep
pushing ourselves,
eventually something
inside of use will send
"red flags," or warning
signs that stress is
becoming a problem.

someone to talk to about your
feelings and experiences.

7. Learn to say
"no." Learn to pick
and choose which
things you will say
