Stress and Tips on How to Avoid It
This leaflet gives some general tips on how to reduce stress. However, see a doctor if you develop persistent anxiety symptoms.
What is stress?
Stress is difficult to define or measure. Some people thrive on a busy lifestyle and are able to cope well with life crises. Other people feel tensed or stressed by the slightest deviation from their set daily routine. Many people fall somewhere in between, but may have periods when levels of stress increase. Tell-tale signs of stress building up include:
õ? Not being able to sleep properly with worries going through your mind.
õ? Being impatient or irritable at minor problems.
õ? Not being able to concentrate due to many things going through your mind.
õ? Being unable to make decisions.
õ? Drinking or smoking more.
õ? Not enjoying food so much.
õ? Being unable to relax, and always feeling that something needs to be done.
õ? Feeling tense. Sometimes this includes a ''knot'' in the stomach, or feeling sweaty with a dry mouth or a thumping heart.
Sometimes stress builds up quickly. For example, the unexpected traffic jam. Sometimes it is ongoing. For example, a difficult job.
Is stress harmful?
Ongoing stress is thought to be bad for health, although this is difficult to prove. For example, stress is thought to be bad for the heart and is possibly a ''risk factor'' for developing heart problems in later life. Stress may also contribute to other physical illnesses in ways little understood. For example, it is thought that irritable bowel syndrome, psoriasis, migraine, tension headaches, and other con***ions are made worse by an increased level of stress.
Your work performance, and relationships, may also be affected by stress.
How can I avoid stress?
The following is a list of suggestions that may be useful to try and combat stress, some more appropriate to some people than others.
Stress list
You can try making a ''stress list''. Try keeping a diary over a few weeks or so, and list the times, places, and people that aggravate your stress levels. A pattern may emerge. Is it always the traffic on the way to work that sets things off to a bad start for the day? Perhaps it''s the supermarket check-out, next door''s dog, a work colleague, or something similar that may occur regularly and cause you stress.
Once you have identified any typical or regular causes of stress, two things may then help.
õ? If you discuss this with a close friend or family member, it may help them and you to be aware of the reasons why you are feeling stressed. Simply talking it through may help.
õ? Secondly, these situations can be used as ''cues'' to relax. You can use simple relaxation techniques (see below) when a stressful situation occurs or is anticipated. For example, try doing neck stretching exercises when you are in that traffic jam rather than getting tense and stressed.
Try simple relaxation techniques
õ? Deep breathing. This means taking a long, slow breath in, and very slowly breathe out. If you do this a few times, and concentrate fully on breathing, you may find it quite relaxing.
õ? Muscular tensing and stretching. Try twisting your neck around each way as far as it is comfortable, and then relax. Try fully tensing your shoulder and back muscles for several seconds, and then relax completely.
Try practising these simple techniques when you are relaxed, and then use them routinely when you come across any stressful situation.
Positive relaxation
Set specific times aside to positively relax. Don''t just let relaxation happen, or not happen, at the mercy of work, family, etc. Plan it, and look forward to it. Different people prefer different things. A long bath, a quiet stroll, sitting and just listening to a piece of music, etc. These times are not wasteful, and you should not feel guilty about not ''getting on with things''. They can be times of reflection and putting life back in perspective.
Some people find it useful to set time aside for a relaxation programme such as me***ation or muscular exercises. You can also buy relaxation tapes to help you learn to relax.
Time out
Try to allow several times a day to ''stop'' and take some time out. For example, getting up 15-20 minutes earlier than you need to is a good start. You can use this time to think about and plan the coming day, and to prepare for the day''s events unrushed.
Take a regular and proper lunch break, preferably away from work. Don''t work over lunch. If work is busy, if possible try and take 5 or 10 minutes away every few hours to relax.
Once or twice a week, try to plan some time just to be alone and ''unobtainable''. For example, a gentle stroll or a sit in the park often helps to break out of life''s hustle and bustle.
Exercise
Many people claim that regular exercise reduces their level of stress. (It also keeps you fit and helps to prevent heart disease.) Any exercise is good, but try to plan at least 30 minutes of exercise on at least 5 days a week. A brisk walk on most days is a good start if you are not used to exercise. In ad***ion, if you have difficulty in sleeping this may improve if you exercise regularly.
Smoking and alcohol
Don''t be fooled that smoking and drinking can help with stress. In the long run, they don''t. Drinking alcohol to ''calm nerves'' is often a slippery slope to heavier and problem drinking.
Hobbies
Many people find that a hobby which has no deadlines, no pressures, and which can be picked up or left easily takes the mind off stresses. For example: sports, knitting, music, model-making, puzzles, and reading for pleasure.
Treatment
Some people find they have times in their life when stress or anxiety becomes severe or difficult to cope with. See a doctor if stress or anxiety becomes worse. Further treatments such as anxiety management counselling, other therapies, or medication may be appropriate.

Mình post bài trả lời của mình lên trong lúc chuẩn bị:
1. What is stress? (The definition of stress)
Stress (psychology), an unpleasant state of emotional and physiological arousal that people experience in situations that they perceive as dangerous or threatening to their well-being. Some people define stress as events or situations that cause them to feel tension, pressure, or negative emotions such as anxiety and anger. --> I think most of Vietnamese have the same thought with this definition..
Others view stress as the response to these situations including physiological changes (increased heart rate and muscle tension) - as well as emotional and behavioral changes.
However, most psychologists regard stress as a process involving a person?Ts interpretation and response to a threatening event.
3. How to avoid Stress?
RELAXATION
In ad***ion to biofeedback, two other major methods of relaxation are progressive muscular relaxation and me***ation
Progressive muscular relaxation involves systematically tensing and then relaxing different groups of skeletal (voluntary) muscles, while directing one?Ts attention toward the contrasting sensations produced by the two procedures. After practicing progressive muscular relaxation, individuals become increasingly sensitive to rising tension levels and can produce the relaxation response during everyday activities (often by repeating a cue word, such as calm, to themselves).
Me***ation, in ad***ion to teaching relaxation, is designed to achieve subjective goals such as contemplation, wisdom, and altered states of consciousness. Some forms have a strong Eastern religious and spiritual heritage based in Zen Buddhism and yoga. Other varieties emphasize a particular lifestyle for practitioners. One of the most common forms of me***ation, Transcendental Me***ation, involves focusing attention on and repeating a mantra, which is a word, sound, or phrase thought to have particularly calming properties.
Both progressive muscle relaxation and me***ation reliably reduce stress-related arousal. They have been used successfully to treat a range of stress-related disorders, including hypertension, migraine and tension headaches, and chronic pain
AEROBIC
Aerobic exercise?"such as running, walking, biking, and skiing?"can help keep stress levels down. Because aerobic exercise increases the endurance of the heart and lungs, an aerobically fit individual will have a lower heart rate at rest and lower blood pressure, less reactivity to stressors, and quicker recovery from stressors. In ad***ion, studies show that people who exercise regularly have higher self-esteem and suffer less from anxiety and depression than comparable people who are not aerobically fit. The American College of Sports Medicine recommends exercising three to four times a week for at least 20 minutes to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.
