The more demanding and fast-paced life gets, the more we find ourselves having troubles with maintaining a balanced lifestyle. One can be very vulnerable to chronic stress if they do not know how to manage their limit of stress tolerance. To help strengthen the body and get rid of stress, techniques of stress management have been developed and in fact vary to different subjects.
Most of the techniques listed below focus on the aspect of coping directly with stressors. However, the level of abstraction differs in each case, for example some might induce a lower than usual stress level, while others have the tendency to face stressors at higher level of abstraction. Either way, stress management techniques are expected to help people be able to individually solve the inner pressures and face the challenges.
According to Wikipedia, stress management techniques usually include:
-Autogenic training
-Social activity
-Cognitive therapy
-Conflict resolution
-Cranial Release Technique
-Exercise
-Getting a hobby
-Meditation
-Mindfulness (psychology)
-Deep breathing
-Yoga Nidra
-Nootropics
-Reading novels
-Prayer
-Relaxation techniques
-Artistic expression
-Fractional relaxation
-Progressive relaxation
-Spas
-Somatics training
-Spending time in nature
-Stress balls
-Natural medicine
-Clinically validated alternative treatments
-Time management
-Planning and decision making
-Listening to certain types of relaxing music
-Spending quality time with pets
These techniques are believed among people who were diagnosed with chronic stress as effective and have certain positive influences towards both physical and psychological health.
Along with stress curing and relief therapies, there are other stress management techniques which focus on the prevention of stress, rather than dealing with the consequences after constant stress endurance. This technique is regarded as “stress prevention and resilience”, a field of study which is closely related to psychological resilience-building. This theory is mainly based on the researches carried out about the practice of cognitive-behavioural therapies.
