Stress Management
Stress management
Stress management is a technique to remove stress from life by identifying the factors that cause stress. Stress is a very normal psychological condition of the human mind arising due to unfulfilled expectations. Stress has become a very worldwide poison experienced by employees universally. This is very common in companies where the employer does not give regard to the factors affecting the employee and keeps on pushing him for performance in the job. To find the actual source of stress though may sound easy to find but its not that easy to eliminate. People are constantly worried about meeting the expectations of boss at work, getting close to deadlines, a negative relationship with other employees, and so on (W. Colligan and M. Higgins, 2010)..
Therefore stress management is necessary to bring the human mind back on right track so that it can function with its full effectiveness. Stress management is a technique which provides a wide array of options to a stressed individual to rebalance his mind and body. If there is no stress management the mind goes in deep slumber and the body becomes like an atom bomb ready to explode anytime. With increased pressures and stress, an individual may encounter a series of health problems like heart attacks, high blood pressure, diabetes, disturbances in hormonal levels, endocrine problems, and many more (Salami, Ojokuku, and Ilesanmi, 2010). Stress not only affects health of an individual but also affects the relationships in which he is. When a person is in stress he is unaware that his mind and body coordination has been lost and he may utter not so polite words that may distort the relationship forever. Stress related to job affects the individual mentally, physically or psychologically. Mentally stresses at job implies lack of concentration at task assigned, poor decision making, unable to handle pressures, etc. Psychological stress however arises when an employee starts feeling dejected,
