Mental/Emotional Health: Stress Management
From our definition, you can see that there are three major approaches that we can use to manage stress:
• Action-oriented
In which we seek to confront the problem causing the stress, changing the
environment or the situation;
• Emotionally-oriented
In which we do not have the power to change the situation, but we can manage
stress by changing our interpretation of the situation and the way we feel
about it; and
• Acceptance-oriented
Where something has happened over which we have no power and no emotional
control, and where our focus is on surviving the stress.
These different approaches to stress management address our definition of stress in different ways: the action-oriented techniques help us to manage the demands upon us and increase the resources we can mobilize; the emotionally oriented techniques help us to adjust our perceptions of the situation; and the acceptance-oriented techniques help us survive the situations that we genuinely cannot change.
