decrease arousal by practicing relaxation techniques such as deep breathing or
meditation.

• Example: Instead of worrying about potential conflicts with coworkers,
someone may restructure their thoughts by reminding themselves that
disagreements are a normal part of working in a team and can lead to
constructive solutions.
Strengthening resistance to prevent stressors from occurring:
• Example: A person may strengthen their resistance to stress by prioritizing
self-care activities such as exercise, meditation, and spending time with loved
ones, which can improve overall resilience and reduce susceptibility to
stressors.

• Example: Someone experiencing chronic stress due to a demanding job may
adjust their behaviors by setting boundaries, delegating tasks, or seeking
support from a therapist. They may also develop coping resources such as
time management skills or assertiveness training to better handle future
