Stress Part 2: Coping Techniques

Free of Stress
In Stress Part 1: Categorize that Stress we pointed out some unhealthy ways that we manifest our stress, from addiction to drinking to smoking to emotional outbursts. And we showed you how most stress management techniques fall into 4 categories: Alter, Avoid, Accept, or Adapt. In Stress: Part 2, we’ll discuss some healthy ways to manage and relieve the stress in your life.
As I mentioned in Part 1, finding relief from stress can be a challenge. You must be willing to make a change and desire to work at that change. As the saying goes, “The right road is not always the easy road.” It is easier to wallow away in self pity, and let the stress wash over you. The hard road is to make the change to better your health and peace of mind.
