Stress - Energy Zapper

Stress is a major factor is how energetic or how tired you feel.

We all suffer from daily stresses at work or at home. How we deal with those stressors are the key to our energy levels.

We each react in different ways to the same set of stressors.

Some find music whilst working energizing - me, I find it incredibly irritating, if it is not the kind of music that resonates with my own personal energy rythyms.

Some find planning a wedding a positive stress, others find the process so overwhelming that it is a negative, energy drainging stress

Knowing how you react to certain stressors is key to managing your own stress and energy levels.

I fret the small stuff and find personal traits such as sniffing, clicking fingernails, eating noisily very, very irritating. But in a major emergency situation, I am collected and logical in resolving the problem. I excel at the big stuff, and fail badly at the small stuff.

There are five primary steps to dealing with stress:

1. Know yourself - what stresses you, and how you tend to react.
2. Learn some stress management techniques
3. Learn to breathe correctly
4. Develop a mental toughness - inherent or artificially induced.
5. Keep some natural stress remedies for emergency moments
