Managing stress This morning, waking up early I turned my radio on. I suddenly heard a news regarding the management of stress. For starters a reporter began the story about traffic problems in a city. Camerlita is the name of main person in this story. She lives in a busy city. And traffic delays are very common there, even they can stop her for over an hour. She felt angry with this. After that, she realized that it wasn’t as horrible as she had thought. Do you know why she changed her mind toward this situation? She knew that she has loved stories. So, she had a new look at this situation by taking advantage of sitting in traffic as a way of listening to some recorded books. By doing something she enjoys, she could begin to look forward to traffic delays, and forget being stuck in the traffic. Hence, when encountering stress, we should change the way we understand or feel about a stressful situation. We can never remove all the stress and pressure in our lives. However, by using this way, we can reduce it.
