Stress management begins with identifying what is stressing you out. While it’s easy to identify major stressors such as changing jobs, moving, or going through a divorce, it can be difficult to pinpoint the cause of chronic stress. It’s easy to overlook your thoughts and feelings, but when identifying the causes of chronic stress, you must take a deeper look into why these stressors are occurring.
Identify the Causes of Stress
To identify a chronic stress, look closely at your habits, attitude, and excuses:
- Do claim your stress to be temporary?
- Do you define stress as an integral part of your home, work, or personality?
- Do you blame your stress on other people, outside events, or view it as normal?
Life can be stressful and trying to adjust to handle these stressors can also be stressful. Remember to be kind to yourself. One single adjustment can help you immensely. While it may seem like there is nothing you can do about the stress in your life, there are healthy ways you can relieve stress and regain control. If your stress becomes too hard to handle, never hesitate to ask for help from a professional.
