Notas del editor

  1. Stress is a normal physical response to events that make you feel threatened or upset your balance in some way. When you sense danger—whether it’s real or imagined—the body's defenses kick into high gear in a rapid, automatic process known as the “fight-or-flight” reaction, or the stress response. The stress response is the body’s way of protecting you. When working properly, it helps you stay focused, energetic, and alert. In emergency situations, stress can save your life—giving you extra strength to defend yourself, for example, or spurring you to slam on the brakes to avoid an accident. The stress response also helps you rise to meet challenges. Stress is what keeps you on your toes during a presentation at work, sharpens your concentration when you’re attempting the game-winning free throw, or drives you to study for an exam when you'd rather be watching TV. But beyond a certain point, stress stops being helpful and starts causing major damage to your health, your mood, your productivity, your relationships, and your quality of life
  2. The situations and pressures that cause stress are known as stressors. We usually think of stressors as being negative, such as an exhausting work schedule or a rocky relationship. However, anything that puts high demands on you or forces you to adjust can be stressful. This includes positive events such as getting married, buying a house, going to college, or receiving a promotion. What causes stress depends, at least in part, on your perception of it. Something that's stressful to you may not faze someone else; they may even enjoy it. For example, your morning commute may make you anxious and tense because you worry that traffic will make you late. Others, however, may find the trip relaxing because they allow more than enough time and enjoy listening to music while they drive.
  3. Strategy #1: Avoid unnecessary stress Learn how to say “no” Avoid people who stress you out Take control of your environment Avoid hot-button topics Pare down your to-do list Strategy #2: Alter the situation Express your feelings instead of bottling them up. Be willing to compromise Be more assertive. Manage your time better. Strategy #3: Adapt to the stressor Reframe problems. Look at the big picture Adjust your standards. Focus on the positive. Strategy #4: Accept the things you can’t change Don’t try to control the uncontrollable. Look for the upside. As the saying goes, Share your feelings. Learn to forgive. Strategy #5: Make time for fun and relaxation Set aside relaxation time. Connect with others. Do something you enjoy every day. Keep your sense of humor. Strategy #6: Adopt a healthy lifestyle Exercise regularly. Eat a healthy diet. Reduce caffeine and sugar. Avoid alcohol, cigarettes, and drugs. Get enough sleep.
