Dealing with Stress

Some questions you can ask yourself:

1. Assess the situation
Why am I stressed? What is causing the stress?

2. Isolate the emotions involved
How am I reacting to the stress? Am I angry, nervous etc?

3. Identify possible changes
How can I change it? What can’t I change? How can I make it better?

4. Manage your feelings
If I cannot control the situation, how can I manage the way I feel about it?

5. Identify those around you who can help you with your stress
Who are my Helping Hands?

6. Keep a positive outlook
How do I remain above the problem? How can I be resilient?
