Mental Techniques for Controlling Short-term Stress
Stress Reduction TechniquesThis section shows you practical and effective methods of reducing stress to a level where you can perform most effectively. The techniques that you select depend on the cause of the stress and the situation in which the stress occurs. In choosing methods to combat stress, it is worth asking yourself where the stress comes from. If outside factors such as important events or relationship difficulties are causing stress, then a positive thinking or imagery based technique may be effective. Where stress and fatigue are long term, then lifestyle and organisational changes may be appropriate. If the feeling of stress come from adrenaline in your body, then it may be effective to relax the body and slow the flow of adrenaline. |
