3 Ways To Manage or Reduce Stress

Posted on June 05, 2020 by Amy Farley, One of Thousands of Family Coaches on Noomii.

The first step toward managing or reducing stress is learning what your triggers are. Makes sense, when you know what pushes your buttons you will know how to avoid it. Stress is a part of life and some of which we have to accept. So, what should we do when we are faced with stress? We must CHANGE our reactions to them.

Here are 3 ways you can reduce or manage stress:

1. Relaxation techniques – These can be activities that will trigger a relaxation response, a physiological response which has been proven to help lower your blood pressure, heart rate and stress hormones. You can achieve this by practicing meditation, guided imagery, and deep breathing exercises.
2. Cognitive behavioral Therapy (CBT) – Unhealthy ways of thinking can affect your emotions. If you can identify your negative thinking when it comes to you and learn to automatically replace it with healthy or positive thoughts this can very helpful to your overall wellbeing. As a (CBT) Techniques Life Coach, I can help you with this, but for persons with issues of mental illness should first speak with a Licensed Therapist.
3. Goal Setting – When we set goals for ourselves, we have a positive sense of commitment, we feel we’re in control and we are optimistic. I would always recommend setting goals for your career, relationships, creativity, and health.
