Stress Management Proposal The definition of stress is “a state of mental tension and worry caused by problems in your life, work, etc” (Merriam-Webster, 2014, page 1). Also, stress affects the body and mental capacity everyday through life’s fluctuations and trials. Everyone has a different level of stress and each person handles that stress in their own way. Stress can cost someone their job, family and personal relationships. Stress inadvertently costs business owners work production and money especially when people begin reporting off from work due to their stressors. There are different kinds of stress, positive stress is called eustress and examples of that would be getting married or getting a new job. Bad stress is called distress and examples of that would be getting divorced or going into foreclosure on a home. Different levels of stress can be advantageous to people and society as a whole because this allows for growth and prosperity. However, too much positive stress can have negative results in one’s health just as bad stress. This paper is about how I would have responded to other stress management techniques and their personal effectiveness. I will also discuss my rationale for their ranking. Over a two day period, I tried the stress technique of handling and using my time efficiently. I always put everyone else’s needs before my own which can be a problem if I am unable to get my tasks accomplished no matter how small a task it may seem. For instance, I had to take my daughter to a sports tryout, nevertheless, I also needed to pick up a gallon of milk for the next day while we were out. Because the tryouts took so long, I forgot to get the milk for breakfast therefore, I did not complete my task because I put my daughters need before my own task. I procrastinate when it comes to things I need to do whether it is
