Each one of us is different and our personalities are different which makes it difficult to pin point what are the factors that cause stress to occur. Our own individual personality also plays an important role in determining the amount of stress that we experience. Some of use get “stressed out” easily whereas there are some people who get stressed out over a period of time.Factors that cause one individual to get stressed out are not necessary the same factors that could cause someone to get stressed. For example there are some people who get stressed out if they are called for a sudden meeting by their boss at work and yet there are others that don’t do not show any signs of anxiousness. It is due to their personality that they are able to cope with stress in a more composed and relaxed manner as compared to some of their colleagues.

No matter what kind of personality you posses it is important to learn to conquer your personality’s normal immediate reaction and proactively manage stress in order to maintain your effectiveness and long term physical and mental health. There are a few strategies or techniques that you can use to control your stress levels.

First evaluate your priorities before venting out your frustrations on others or on yourself. Use tact and diplomacy instead of hostility and anger when dealing with others. Remember to control your emotions and hide them as much as possible.

If you are faced with a problem don’t ignore it or try to pass it on to someone else. You can hope that it goes away but the odds are that you’re the only one that has a solution to it since it’s your problem. Focus your attention on your work and ensure that you are accountable for the solution or the outcome.

Verbalizing your opinions and thoughts is a great way of keeping anxious thoughts away. It also helps to clarify any doubts that you may have. Remember that ‘’No question is ever stupid’’ it’s the person that doesn’t ask the question that he has who is the stupid one. If you’re afraid that people are going to laugh at you or make fun of you then you would automatically clam-up and withdraw. Avoid such a situation at any cost and share your feelings, thoughts and opinions and move forward.

Lastly don’t try to be a perfectionist and make a decision after taking into consideration all the available information and facts.

In times when you feel you are unable to control your stress levels then you must look at a holistic approach to controlling your emotions. Yoga, meditation and guided breathing techniques help you to control your body’s reaction to stress and help to control your emotions as well. You must practice these techniques with certified professionals in order to get maximum benefits.
