1 Introduction of stress

We generally used the word stress when we feel that
everything seems to have become too much. Some
stress gets you going and they are good for you.
And, without any stress at all many say our lives
would be boring and would probably feel pointless.

Definition of stress

The word “stress” is used by different people to mean different things.
Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary defines stress as tension, pressure or
worry resulting from problems in one’s life. Tim Rogers also defines stress as
the feeling of not being able to cope with problems or potential in one’s life.

Stress is a feeling that people have when they are struggling to cope with
challenges related to;

• Finances
• Work
• Relationship
• Environment

Moreover, stress is felt when an individual perceives a real or imagined
challenge. People often use the word stress interchangeably with anxiety,
feeling anxious, fearful, nervous, overwhelmed, panic or stressed-out.

HOW TO MANAGE STRESS 3

These days it’s hard not to get overwhelmed
once in a while. Between juggling work,
family, and other commitments, you can
become too stressed out and busy.

EXERCISE
• Working out regularly is one of the best ways to relax your body and

mind. Plus, exercise will improve your mood. But you have to do it
often for it to pay off. So how much should you exercise every week?
Work up to 2 hours and 30 minutes of moderately intense exercise
like brisk walks or 75 minutes of a more vigorous exercise like
swimming laps, jogging or other sports.

RELAX YOUR MUSCLE
• When you’re stressed, your muscles get tense. You can help loosen

them up on your own and refresh your body by:
➢ Stretching
➢ Enjoying a massage
➢ Taking a hot bath or shower
➢ Getting a good night’s sleep

• EAT WELL
Eating a regular, well-balanced-diet will help you feel better in
general. It may also help control your moods. Your meals should
be full of vegetables, fruit, whole grain, and lean protein for
energy. And don’t skip any. It’s not good for you and can put you
in a bad mood, which can actually increase your stress.

• MAKE TIME FOR HOBBIES
You need to set aside time for things you enjoy. Try to do
something every day that makes you feel good, and it will help
relieve your stress. It doesn’t have to be a ton of time -- even 15 to
20 minutes will do. (will be explained in the video)
