Guest guest Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 Stress management does mean putting work down and stopping for a while. It entails clearing your head and freeing it of unhealthy distractions, in order to jump back on track. Some stress management programs emphasize the value of relaxation. That is, learning to savour one's time alone and use it to restore the mind and the body. Stress management relaxation programs include meditation, progressive relaxation, autogenic training, and biofeedback. Several other techniques exist, but, for this article's purpose, we will tackle only the cited four briefly. There are several ways to cope with stress. Relaxation is one technique which generally refers to the calming of the mind, the body and the sense, to help a you regain your 'center', even in the middle of a highly stressful activity. Before we begin with any of the four techniques, we must first acknowledge that they are merely part of a bigger and much more comprehensive stress management program and that each will work to its best extent when combined with other techniques. Two very important points should be considered before taking on any stress management relaxation technique. First, since a relaxation technique results in physiological changes, anybody under medication that affects any physiological parameter might be exploiting that parameter too hard, and Secondly, that people with medical conditions, like hypertension, heart problems, etc. should first seek medical permission, to be on the safe side. Once you have gotten these out of the way, you may want to try out each stress management technique first before you determine which one to use regularly. While there is no scientific and medical way to accurately decide which one will work best for you, you will be able to determine which is a most comfortable fit.
