Learning how to face that stressful situation

Article Abstract:

Managing feelings of anxiety can be accomplished through a cognitive behavior management strategy known as stress inoculation. The first step in the process is to locate a quiet, distraction-free environment in which to become physically relaxed. Breathing and exercise techniques are described which are designed to promote relaxation. A state of deep muscle relaxation can result, preparing the individual to enter the inoculation phase. This phase entails pairing mental images with a positive rather than tension-provoking physiological state. Successful use of the stress inoculation technique requires routine practice.

Resiliency in the face of stress

Article Abstract:

Managers and executives live with stress and strain every day. In order to reduce stress, some people have found the following techniques to be stress-reducing: maintain an emotional detachment from the job; develop a support network of friends and family to get through difficult periods; and preserve independence and a sense of security by living within available financial means. It is also advisable to plan a fallback position in case of job loss; exercise; anticipate potential developments in the future; and stay flexible in dealings with all situations and people.

The stress explosion

Article Abstract:

Stress in the workplace is recognised as a psychological state. It can affect all types of workers, and happens when they cannot cope with some aspect of their work. This can range from work organisation, schedules, content of work, uncertainty over job security, relationships at work or the conflict between work and home demands. Many stress management techniques offer coping strategies rather than trying to remove or alter the source of the stress.
