What is Stress Management?

Stress occurs when we feel like life’s demands exceed our emotional, physical, or mental resources. Instead of feeling energized or even excited about tasks, we feel overwhelmed, unmotivated or even burnt out.

Being busy has become a badge of honour as such people have too much on their plates. It can make life very stressful. To prevent burnout, it is essential to learn to manage stress effectively. People often struggle with setting priorities when there is so much that they want and/or need to get done. When others rely on us, it can be challenging to say “no.”

Is your stress level getting out of control?

Are you:

• Short-tempered with people because you have too much stress?
• Struggling with decision making and second-guessing yourself?
• Procrastinating or losing focus because you feel overwhelmed and don’t know where to start? 
• Often preoccupied or distracted by your worries?
• Having trouble following through with work and family responsibilities because you have too much on your plate?
• Withdrawing socially and avoiding activities you once enjoyed?
• Restless or sleepless because you’re busy worrying about daily tasks or challenges?
• Putting off having fun or taking time to relax and self-care?
