Stress management

Stress management teaches techniques intended to equip a person with effective coping mechanisms for dealing with stress.

Techniques of stress management include:

• self-understanding (e.g. Type A or B personality)
• self-management (e.g. becoming better organized)
• conflict resolution
• positive attitude
• self-talk
• breathing
• meditation
• exercise
• diet
• rest

Some techniques of time management help a person to control stress. For example:

• getting more organized and reducing clutter
• setting priorities can help reduce anxiety
• using a "to do" list of tasks that a person needs to complete can give a person a sense of control and accomplishment

Effective stress management is learning to set limits and say "No" to some demands that others make.
