Welcome to Stress Relief with Dr Jeff
Stress – you can manage it!
Know What Sets You off – the Triggers!
An important step in stress management is knowing the triggers that elevate your stress. There are quite a few groups of triggers or stressors that will increase your adrenaline rush and make you feel anxious and worried. having identified the triggers you then need to employ effective stress management strategies.
I shall explain one stress management approach: BE CALM. The acronym has two purposes: to remind you to be calm in the face of a stressful event or a difficult and person; and the six letters represent logical strategies for dealing with complex situations.
This model is explained in more detail in the book Stress Management by Dr Jeff but it is the basis of CBT’s self-regulation of thought (CBT – Cognitive Behavior Therapy). In the book I list and describe 11 strategies to build resilience and coping. Of course, these strategies are not only about stress; they are strategies you can use in relationship building, in managing complexity in your life, in dealing with external stressors (illness of a loved parent or child) and so on.
B for BUILD
E for EXAMINE
C for CONFRONT
A for ACCEPT
L for LET GO; FORGIVE; FORGET
M for MOVE ON!
Stress management is a skill that can be learned. Too many people endure chronic stress because they have not learned how to re-arrange their thinking so that they exclude negative self-talk and so that they use practical, effective stress management strategies. Stress can take over your life – leaving you no control and no way out.
Summing Up
It is frustrating when you know you have lost control of your life because of the competing demands. Work out what you VALUE most in your life. Is it money? Or personal relationships? Or promotions at work? Or being ‘the boss’ at work? Then read my stress management tips to develop a repertoire of effective stress relief approaches.
Good luck and my warmest best wishes to you on your life’s journey.
