Three common signs or indicators of stress
Changes in someone’s normal behaviour could indicate that they are under stress of some sort. A change in a person’s mood could be a sign. They may seem depressed or just low and not themselves. Another could be that their eating pattern has changed and they could either be gaining weight from comfort eating or losing weight from not eating enough. Another indicator of stress could be the person’s lack of motivation to do certain tasks, things that they would have once enjoyed & now can’t be bothered to do anymore such as socialising. They may be more withdrawn and prefer to spend time on their own.
Two examples that cause me to feel stressed
An example that causes me to feel stressed is money. I worry that I won’t have enough to pay for the finer things such as going out & meeting with friends. I worry that I will become deeper in debt & it makes me feel low and upset & sometimes makes me feel physically ill. Another example of something that causes me stress is work & when the team don’t work as a ‘team’, or when we’re short staffed and it feels like you have to do your own job and other peoples.
Three ways to manage stress
There are ways of managing your stress that could be quite effective. One of which is managing your time. Find your best time of the day, either morning or evening and carry out your important tasks at this time. Your energy & concentration will be at its peak.
Another is to try and act positively, make time for yourself and friends, go for walks. A change of scenery can help how you feel as you’re thinking about you at that present time and not you’re worries. Also try to accept things you can’t change, if you find a way of coping and managing with things you don’t like it will prevent you from taking your feelings out on others.
