| BURN UP
THAT STRESS
Releasing stress is a normal life activity.
Whether conscious of it or not, we are doing something to
drain away our life tensions every day. When these activities
are skipped, people feel stressed. Stress relievers often
involve some form of physical or mental exertion or a pleasurable
leisure activity.
When you are stressed out, there are activities that will
release or reduce your stress. The actual activities that
work for burning off tension are unique and idiosyncratic
to each person. It helps you to know which activities are
your personal stress releasers.
It is likely that when you are having
a hard time you are not altogether clear on what you should
be doing to manage your feelings. Getting a coping list
written out is a starting point for helping yourself feel
better.
Remember to vary what you do
to burn up tension and also recognize what your most effective
stress reducers are.
